Climbing Film Tour
RUNTIME: 120 mins
Climbing Film Tour is back for its 5th season with an awesome selection of short films celebrating the
global climbing community.
Climbing Film Tour is a unique platform for climbers and filmmakers around the world to share their
stories with the community. Each year, films are submitted and selected by our Vertical Life climbing
team to go on tour with screenings in hundreds of gyms, and cinemas. Join us for a journey around the
world.
This season, we’ll follow Ian Elliott, a 72-year-old Australian rock climber defying age stereotypes as he
ascends a grade 28/7c route just before his 70th birthday. Kai Lightner, a 12-time national climbing
champion, against the backdrop of Jamaica and their emerging climbing community. Meet up with Freya,
Leo Houlding’s daughter, who uses climbing as a practice to lean into discomfort and fear to help
navigate her neurodiversity and harness its strengths. You’ll be on the edge of your seat in Cedar Wright’s
film “Dropping Molly”, following Molly Mitchell’s Roller Coaster Journey to climb “Crank-It”, one of
Colorado’s most dangerous routes. We’ll take you north to the ephemeral Scottish land of mixed climbing
with Fay and Line and then meet up with Québécois/ Australian Jacques Beaudoin climber and the effort
behind a hard trad first ascent up a thin crack in The Gardens of Stone Conservation Area of Newnes
Plateau, NSW, Australia. And then, well, a film about Jackson Marvell.
Join us for a journey around the world.
