Great Sheikhs
Leo Houlding explores the Wadi Al Disah desert in Saudi Arabia in search of attractive climbing targets. In addition to the brilliant scenery in the film, there is no shortage of strong climbing, classic touches of dirtbag life AND not always easy interactions with locals. The cherry on the cake? First ascent of A’Atir, possibly the highest free-standing sandstone crag in the world (330 m).
Great Sheikhs
E11 Lexicon
Fingers are already starting to sweat. 50-year-old multi-talented Neil Gresham tackles his toughest trad project – “Lexicon” (E11) on the slightly overhanging and smooth wall of Pavey Ark’s East Gully in the Lake District. Small holds and almost no belay options – in a word, one of the biggest trad challenges. The flavor of the whole story is added by the comments of Dave MacLeod and Steve McClure. Strong climbing cinema.

Fall Theory
Madman or genius? Franco Cookson entered the climbing scene with vigor about 10 years ago. It started with difficult and risky transitions in the North York Moors. In 2017 he conquered “Nothing Lasts” in Northumberland, an incredibly dangerous route. The film shows the notorious pursuit of the next target, always more difficult than the previous one, the struggle with moves that Cookson can’t yet repeat, and belays that are rather conventional. Additional perspective is provided by 15-year-old Tom Pearce, who attempts to repeat some of Franco’s old routes. Fascinating character and stunning climbing moments – only for viewers with strong nerves.

Kjerag Solo
Pete Whittaker, well known for his solo rope crossings and crack climbing, sets out for Kjerag (1,082 m), an impressive rock break in Norway. Goes without a partner and without a rope. This could be the first passage of this wet and dirty wall in free solo style. Camera guided in a unique way, committed climbing, and topped off by Whittaker’s brilliant narration. This is the shortest video in the Brit Rock series, but it too is not to be missed.
Kjerag Solo
Climbing Blind
The story of blind climber Jesse Dufton, who conquers a famous crag off the coast of Scotland. However, what sets this feat apart from others (the Old Man of Hoy has already been climbed by seniors, children and people with disabilities) is the climbing style of the. The protagonist of a suspenseful but at times fun story, he leads the entire route on a route (his own belay).
