"A collection of fantastic climbing tales... every shot is saturated with the emotion of the climber" - Stone Country Full Review

Set in the post industrial landscape of disused Welsh slate quarries, three very different climbers battle their way up some unusual climbing. Matt Segal, Hazel Findlay and Johnny Dawes take it in turn to crimp, palm, squirm and wriggle their way up the esoteric route, Gin Palace. But whose technique will prove successful?

Winner of 'People's Choice' and 'Best Climbing Film' at the Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival
Kevin Shields is known as the 'one handed climber'. Despite being born with most of his left hand missing Kevin has shocked the climbing world with some daring and inspirational ascents. The film exposes Kevin's motivations and follows his progression through the climbing grades, culminating in a gripping and palm-sweating attempt to solo E6 in Glen Nevis.

The West Face of Karimbony in the Tsaranoro Massif is home to one of the world's hardest big-wall free climbs, "Tough Enough?". James McHaffie and a team of top UK climbers head to Madagascar to find out if this route is indeed tough enough.

World class climber Sonnie Trotter teams up with world class belayer Cory Richards to take on the Squamish classic, 'Presto'. The film examines what it takes to belay on some the world's hardest climbs.

"If a climbing film is judged by what it inspires, then this one lights the flame within." - Stone Country Full Review

"One of the best climbing films ever made. heart-pounding reality"
Climbing Magazine (USA) - Full Review.

Synopsis
E11 tells the story behind the first ascent of Rhapsody, a route considered to be the hardest tradition rock climb in the world. Told in an offbeat dramadoc style the film attempts to understand what it takes to climb a route of this standard. E11 strives to get inside the head of its first ascentionist, the understated yet quite remarkable Dave MacLeod. Oh yeah, it's also packed full of ankle smashing, gear ripping, monster falls!

"E11 may be the best climbing film I've ever seen"
Rock and Ice (USA) - Full Review.

"This is, hands down, one of the very best climbing movies I've ever seen. It's up there with the best from the Lowell brothers... Watching 'E11' should be compulsary"
