Reel Rock 18 Is Coming to a Venue Near You

Reel Rock 18 begins its 2024 film tour this week. Starting in Boulder, Colorado on February 16th and 17th, the tour then moves to Norway, the Netherlands, and Kentucky on the 18th before making its first stops in Canada on the 20th in Toronto and Squamish. From there, the tour makes dozens and dozens of stops all around the world between February and May. It’s almost certainly making a stop near you. Check out the Reel Rock 18 calendar here for the full tour schedule and tickets.

Reel Rock 18 contains four new films: With My Heart (with Sachi Amma), Yeah Buddy (with Angie Scarth-Johnson and Hazel Findlay), Jirishanca (with Josh Wharton and Vince Anderson), and Climbing Never Die (with Matt Groom and Danyil Boldyrev). You can read Reel Rock’s film synopses for the four films below. You can also watch the Reel Rock 18 teaser trailer.

• With My Heart: Follow the philosophical journey of Japanese climbing phenom Sachi Amma, as he evolves from three-time world champion to traditional climbing purist, culminating in a visionary first ascent on the mythical Mt. Mizugaki. (30 min)
• Yeah Buddy: Australian climber Angie Scarth-Johnson, who first made her mark setting records at a young age, teams up with veteran adventure climber Hazel Findlay to explore the best of Mallorca’s deep-water soloing. (25 min)
• Jirishanca: Renowned alpinists Josh Wharton and Vince Anderson attempt a free ascent of the Jirishanca, an epic 20,000-foot peak in the Peruvian Andes. The duo will have to tackle 5.13 face climbing, horizontal ice roofs, technical mixed terrain and treacherous snow mushrooms as they reconcile the inherent risk of climbing with their love of alpine adventure. (40 min)
• Climbing Never Die: Climbing journalist Matt Groom journeys deep into war-torn Ukraine to discover a community held together by climbing and patriotism, but indelibly changed by war. (35 min)
