dias de la gloria
Presented by rab
Dias de La Gloria takes you into the inner world of Karly Rager and Mango Ordonez’s lives, businesses, and perspectives as they go for the first free ascent of Guerreras (13-pitch, 12c, Grade IV/V) in the alpine desert of Mexico. They explore the unknown together and see how much power true partnership holds.
Energia Vitale
Presented by vibram
Between Milan and the mountains runs a story of connection, memory, and movement. Energia Vitale combines the achievements of today’s climbers on historic routes opened by Vitale Bramani, mountaineer and founder of Vibram, with stories and memories from those who lived the pioneering age of mountaineering.
in these hills
Presented by steep south
In These Hills follows the story of Aislynn Trompler and Sarah Crabtree – two women from the Red River Gorge who grew up in oil drilling and coal mining families. In their community, resources were becoming scarce until climbers entered the scene. Now, the sport has changed both their lives for the better. It's up to locals and climbers to work together to keep sharing outdoor opportunities with kids in the region who often face adversity in these rural towns. Amid economic struggle and substance abuse, can rock climbing save their Eastern Kentucky home?
Nouveau Regard
Presented by Arc’teryx
Nouveau Regard tells the story of discovering something new in a place already legendary — Chamonix. Known for high-altitude alpinism, Chamonix becomes the stage for a quieter, more intimate form of exploration: alpine bouldering. Set in this iconic landscape, the film follows Clément Lechaptois, Jim Pope and Ashima Shiraishi in the process of developing a new bouldering zone at altitude. It’s not about performance, but about redefining how we explore and relate to the mountains. As the effects of climate change reshape the alpine environment, this act of slow, attentive exploration becomes a way of listening to — and reconnecting with — a damaged world. These small, personal discoveries can have a lasting impact on community, culture, and our connection to the mountains.
Sharp Edges
presented by Scarpa
Sharp Edges follows Shara Zaia, a Colorado-based rock climber, as she navigates identity, belonging, and mental health within the Assyrian diaspora. Caught in a liminal space between two cultures, the film reflects on the emotional parallels between climbing and identity — both requiring resilience, vulnerability, and trust. Featuring Assyrian musicians and artists, this is not just a climbing film, but a bold act of cultural resilience, self-acceptance, and vulnerability.
