When climbing was announced as part of the 2020 Olympics, it was a monumental occasion for the sport. But many climbers were shocked to learn that one of three combined events required to compete for a medal is… speed climbing. REEL ROCK correspondent Zachary Barr looks into this little-known and seldom practiced sub-discipline of the sport, and the role it will play in shaping climbing’s future. Barr’s journey from the U.S. to France (the birthplace of modern speed climbing) to South Asia (it’s actually huge there) culminates at an international competition in Moscow, where speed demons race up a 15-meter wall in less than six seconds.

With lyricism, this documentary showcases Brazilian feminine multi-pitch climbing scenery (a traditionally masculine sport in Brazil) and investigates the motivations of the two climbers practicing the sport.

ZABARDAST

The intimate travel diary of an incredible freeride expedition into the heart of the Karakoram range.

A huge undertaking with proper cariters not afraid to show there true Humbled selfs. But do however spend the majority of the film afraid and my god it comes across. It is a must watch for an keen skier and anyone coming to SHAFF 2019

Ed Birch Director of Salt-Street productions

Zabardast is a raw mixture of doubt and beauty. Sometimes encountering triumph, sometimes failure, always adventure. I really recommend you go along for the ride.

Anna Paxton

A visually innovative journey into high altitude adventure and skiing.

Claire Carter Writer, Film Officer for Kendal Mountain Festival, 'Creative Consultant'.

The intimate travel diary of an incredible freeride expedition into the heart of the Karakoram range. The search for one of the most beautiful mountains to ski on the planet, standing at 5880m. An adventure so remote, so high, so commited that no mistakes were allowed. During five weeks, the crew got deeper and deeper inside Pakistan, with a 150 km loop in complete autonomy, pulling sleds filled with food, tents and solar panels across gigantic glaciers. As far from home as one can get. A meeting point of Freeriding and Mountaineering. A true adventure.
