NATIONAL PREMIERE
The story behind the first highline between the Cima Grande and the Cima Piccola, spanning 121 meters and connecting two of the three iconic towers of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo in the Dolomites. The line was rigged in June 2023. The journey involved 15 pitches of alpine climbing, navigating in unstable weather, hauling gear up a 300-meter cliff, and enduring little sleep in an exposed bivi spot. Despite these challenges, the team successfully rigged and walked this beautiful highline.

NATIONAL PREMIERE
Following an unlikely courtship, Jorge and Joanne Urioste arrived in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the 1970s, long before it was a mecca of rock climbing in North America. When the rest of the country was focused on Yosemite Valley, the Uriostes began developing long, moderate climbs on Red Rock Canyon's impeccable sandstone, defying climbing norms and charting a new path for the sport. Their routes are still the most classic in Red Rock, drawing climbers from all over the world.

SPOKEN WORDS
‘Noie’ (‘I'm going’ in Basque) is the last word that Ainhize says to her father before taking her feet off the ground to give the final push to her project: Iñi Ameriketan, 9a+. Noie marks the beginning of a journey through the doubts and uncertainty that settle in the mind of some-one who faces something that probably won't go well. In Noie there are no images, only words. It is a fusion between Ainhize's brainstorming and the echoes of the Baltzola cave, the sounds of her effort and her quickened pulse. On September 7, 2024, the 18-year-old Ainhize Belar climbed Iñi Ameriketan. With this route, in addition to scoring the fourth repetition and being the first female to do so, Ainhize makes history by becoming the first Spanish woman to achieve 9a+.

INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE
Only 1% of climbers dedicate themselves to equipping new routes. Four climbers from the Basque Country have dedicated their lives to doing so and through the eyes of Aritz Aparicio, Guillermo Bañales, Iñaki Marco and Juan Manuel Hernández, we approach a world that is unknown to many. Their lives intersect to offer us a human story that speaks of something that, at the end of the day, unites us all: passion.
