The 20th anniversary tour features four world premiere films, each following a different climber and challenge:
Olympic champion Janja Garnbret sets her sights on Bibliographie, a legendary and highly demanding sport climb, taking on a very different challenge from competition climbing.
Follows Michaela Kiersch across a global series of climbing objectives as she pursues an unprecedented goal: becoming the first woman to climb both V15 boulders and 5.15 routes.
Adaptive climber Ben Mayforth pushes his limits as he pursues difficult 5.13-grade routes, highlighting the determination and problem-solving involved in adaptive climbing.
Alpinist Colin Haley takes on a historic solo winter ascent of Cerro Torre in Patagonia, combining high-grade climbing with severe winter conditions.
