Episodes (4)
1. La Dura Dura
Aired 1 January 2012
In early 2013, Adam Ondra and Chris Sharma made the first and second ascents of the world's hardest rock climb, La Dura Dura, rated 5.15c. The REEL ROCK 7 film La Dura Dura documented the process they went through, but was released before the climb was completed. La Dura Complete continues the story, capturing both actual ascents of this mindblowingly crazy-looking route.
2. The Shark's Fin
Aired 1 January 2012
3. Wide Boyz
Aired 1 January 2012
American offwidth climbing has spawned a counter-culture of rough and tumble characters who aren't afraid to bleed their way up a route. So when two proper British lads, Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker, crossed the pond to eat up the gnarliest wide cracks in the West -- including the first ascent of the world's hardest offwidth known as Century Crack -- it came as quite a shock.
4. Honnold 3.0
Aired 1 January 2012
Alex Honnold has become known as the boldest soloist of his generation. In this dangerous game, how does he balance pure ambition with self-preservation? From highball boulder first ascents to 5.13 free solos, from far-flung trad climbing adventures, to speed records on The Nose, Honnold wrestles with this question in preparation for his biggest adventure yet - the Yosemite Triple. In under 19 hours he climbs Mt. Watkins, El Cap, and Half Dome, 95% of it free solo.
