My friends Josh Lowell and Brett Lowell at Big Up Productions, and Pete Mortimer and Nick Rosen at Sender Films, have been some of the main guys responsible for telling the most visually stunning stories in the climbing world. When they began collaborating with each other, the Reel Rock Tour was born. And Reel Rock has been a huge success, not to mention something that I personally look forward to catching each year during its international tour.
Now in its eighth year, Reel Rock has just released its latest batch of movies for sale in one of three formats: HD download, BluRay, or DVD.
At 3.5 gigabytes, Reel Rock 8 is jam-packed with climbing’s biggest and best stories of the year. The three main films are:
“The Sensei,” the story of Yuji Hirayama choosing the unlikely mentee of Daniel Woods, and together the two climb amazing granite formations in Borneo.
“Spice Girl,” about Hazel “Hammy” Findlay climbing scary trad routes in England and tackling a big-wall in Morocco with Emily Harrington.
“High Tension,” about Ueli Steck and Simone Moro’s intense debacle on Everest.
Now, when you order Reel Rock 8, you’ll get all of those films, plus a Bonus section that offers over 45 minutes of extra footage including Chris Sharma and Adam Ondra’s actual send footage of La Dura Dura (5.15c), the hardest sport climb in the world.
If you know a climber who is looking for a bit of extra motivation for 2014, you couldn’t ask for a better gift this season than Reel Rock 8.
