Pretty Tall - Daniel Woods, Giuliano Cameroni and Shawn Raboutou in Rocklands

As the Rocklands season comes alive, Pretty Tall drops you into a tight 15-minute burst of world-class bouldering with Daniel Woods, Giuliano Cameroni, and Shawn Raboutou. Set on South Africa’s iconic sandstone, the film tracks their sessions on some of the area’s most coveted testpieces, capturing the build-up, the problem-solving, and the quiet intensity that surrounds true top-end lines. What makes this one worth your time is the way it pairs jaw-dropping movement with the mental side of climbing: reading sequences, committing to razor-thin margins, and refining attempts until everything clicks. With highlights like the first ascent of The Smile (8c/V15) and repeats of The Finnish Line (8c/V15), it’s a front-row seat to power, precision, and persistence—equal parts inspiring and addictive to watch.
