Hazel Findlay and Maddie Cope journey to the rocky outer reaches of Mongolia to search out unclimbed lines.
Members of a Memphis climbing gym travel to the frozen wilds of Montana for an ice climbing adventure. The story is innocuous and nice: Sharma has settled down and has a family now, but is still driven to explore the cliffs above the thunderous ocean.
It is a delight to watch, through and through. Yet the story is tired. Has little enough happened in climbing in the past five years that Sharma is still the biggest draw around just because of his pseudo-bodybuilder physique and golden locks? And to answer that question for us, Reel Rock 12 film turns up the volume, the stakes and and awesomeness full-tilt with the second mini-feature.
The narrative move here is perfect: we transition from Chris Sharma to the first woman to climb his standard-setting route, Biographie , and even get some interview footage with him. In this Reel Rock, Chris Sharma is merely prelude. Hayes is portrayed as having a laser-focus, but also as a kook who will have fun no matter how serious the objective.
In between tries on several of the hardest climbs in the world, she makes goofy faces at the camera. The line is one of the most storied in hard sport-climbing, with ascents by Ramon Julian Puigblanque, Sharma, Adam Ondra, Alex Megos, and roughly a dozen other crushers. In interview voiceovers as she climbs, American climbers Matty Hong and Jon Cardwell talk about how flexible Hayes is and how she is capable of doing moves and sequences that they would probably never even consider.
Next we see Hayes with an improbably high foot, virtually next to her head, before cutting to a gaggle of onlooking male climbers, mouths agape, in awe. The audience howled with approval. Gobright is not what you would expect out of a preeminent free soloist: no rippling Sharma muscles, no Dean Potter platitudes about the beauty and art of ropeless climbing.
The short-in-stature Gobright is decidedly ridiculous.
