Sean McColl's flash of the men's "tie-break-problem" of the adidas RockStars 2012 is one of the most impressive bouldering performance ever!

Highlights of the adidas rockstars 2012 – Porsche Arena Stuttgart from world of freesports on Vimeo.

In a thrilling final, which could hardly be outgunned in terms of drama, Alex Puccio from the USA and Sean McColl from Canada claimed the highly paid title adidas ROCKSTAR 2012 this weekend. Around 70 of the world’s best bouldering athletes from 20 different countries travelled to Stuttgart, Germany, to experience a top-class bouldering competition. On a giant stage with catwalk and live band the pro climbers felt like rock stars. And that’s exactly the objective of the event, which combines rock climbing with rock music to stage an intoxicating sports show.

Climbers look forward to new Rockstars boulder wall in Stuttgart from world of freesports on Vimeo.

The quality of the routes is vital for a good competition. After all, adidas ROCKSTARS wants to demonstrate the skills of the international boulder elite. At the same time the route setters try to live up to the interests of spectators and the media. That asks for instinct feel. Boulders have to be set in a fair way with equal opportunities for all athletes. At the same time they should severely test the skills of the competitor: flexibility, strength, endurance, creativity, orientation. In an ideal case only one athlete masters the most difficult problem. But if the boulders are too tough, it could backfire. This is when many years of competition and route setting experience come into play - it also helps to deal with the pressure.

COMMIT : A FALL IN BISHOP from Wingspan on Vimeo.

In September of 2011 we hit the road in Lax (my not so trusty ole '82 Granville) and headed south from Portland to run the Rogue River, climb Mt. Shasta, and visit Yosemite enroute to Bishop where we would settle for the fall. This film documents our time in Bishop, bouldering. The hope was to show "the rest of us" climbing, the way it feels to all of us. Climbing is a deeply relative sport, with effort, challenge, and pain tied directly between the individual and the climb itself.
- www.projectwingspan.com

During the time we were in Bishop, filming COMMIT, we worked with the utterly awesome www.AccessFund.org, and www.FriendsOfTheInyo.org to build steps, clean up camping areas, and reconstruct trails throughout the bouldering areas. Please, please, please check them out, donate if you can, and watch for opportunities to volunteer with them in your area.

Last of all, thank you to everyone who was there with us, climbing or screaming, or both. It was an amazing time, one I aim to repeat... soon.

A Bouldering Ohana from Blackfish Production on Vimeo.

Bouldering brings people together in many ways; whether it be challenge and camaraderie or the need for exploration and adventure. This film charts the rise of bouldering as a legit presence on the Hawaiian Islands and the ohana of dedicated people that are are making it grow. Shot over two months in the Hawaiian Islands by Eddie Raburn and Aaron Schmidt, this film introduces Justin Ridgely as the pioneer of the Hawaiian bouldering movement, along with fellow senders Hiro Watanabe, Nancy Khanh Nguyen, and Matt Lutey. We would also like to acknowledge all the other climbers from Volcanic Rock Gym for helping make this film a success. Next time your in Honolulu look them up. With any luck you might get invited out to the Green Boulders...

VIDEO PROFILE: BD athlete Barbara Zangerl climbing Super Cirill (8a) near Ticino, Switzerland from Black Diamond Equipment on Vimeo.

Bouldering, sport, trad, multi-pitch—if it's rock, Barbara Zangerl crushes it. Though she calls Austria home, more often than not she's on the road throughout Europe and beyond, hunting down her next climbing challenge. A recent trip to Ticino, Switzerland had her going to battle on Super Cirill, a nine-pitch crack line stacked with difficult 8a climbing. We sent filmmaker Bernardo Gimenez down there with her and he returned with this great video that showcases both the demanding nature of the route as well as Babsi's laid-back approach to life.

A clip from this video was featured as part of our Rock Climbing 2012 digital catalog. Loaded with stunning images, captivating videos, and narrated slideshows, Rock Climbing 2012 is all about travel—the places, the people, the culture, the transportation, the gear, the lifestyle, and, of course, the climbing. Get ready for a global roadtrip because Rock Climbing 2012 is going to carry you from Kyrgyzstan to Spain to Malta to Venezuela with a host of Black Diamond climbing athletes, including Adam Ondra, Alex Honnold, Nico Favresse, Sonnie Trotter, Barbara Zangerl, Nalle Hukkataival and Tommy Caldwell (to name but a few).

Edu Marin Pengim Penjam 8c(5.14b) OnSight from namussfilms on Vimeo.

On the 27th of may of 2012, the rock climber Edu Marin did, for the fourth time in his life, an 8c onsight (V.14B) belayed by his father "Novato". The route is located near the monastery of Sant Miquel del Fai (Barcelona). The line is in a big overhanging wall which disappears behind a waterfall in springtime. The roughness of the onsight ascent and its beautiful and spectacular emplacement gave us the push to accompany Edu with the cameras three weeks after, on the 17th of June. We recorded a repetition of the route so we could share it with all of you.

We hope you enjoy the video.

El pasado 27 de mayo del año 2012 el escalador Edu Marin, asegurado por su padre "Novato", encadenó, por cuarta vez en su vida, una vía de grado 8c a vista (V.14B). La vía se encuentra cerca del monasterio de Sant Miquel del Fai (Barcelona), dentro de un gran desplome que en primavera desaparece tras una cascada. La dificultad del encadene y la belleza y espectacularidad de la localización hizo que tres semanas más tarde, 17 de junio, decidiésemos acompañar a Edu con un equipo de cámaras para grabar una repetición de la vía y compartirla con todos vosotros.

Esperamos que disfrutéis del vídeo.

'A new short film about Lochaber-based climber Dave MacLeod is being produced with an aim of showing it at mountain festivals around the world.
Video production team Wojtek Kozakiewicz and Lukasz Warzecha shot Mr MacLeod bouldering in Switzerland.
A heat wave made difficult climbs even tougher in an area called Magic Wood, before temperatures dropped and Mr MacLeod completed the challenges.
A 10-12 minute long film is being made for screening at festivals.
For 2013, a full length film will be released and made available as a free online viral video.
Mr MacLeod was filmed as part the production team's Polished Project, which features other professional climbers and international ice climbers.
Mr Warzecha, a photographer and visual artist, said: "Our upcoming film, Dave, will be telling a story of Dave's climbing career.
Mr MacLeod completed a number of climbs in Switzerland's Magic Wood
"The film centres around Dave's exploits in the Magic Wood - climbing New Base Line, Mystic Stylez and others - and at the same time it touches strongly through interviews on Dave's career and life.
"The final piece would be Dave's portrait as a professional climber."'

Highball That You Bastards! E7 6b from Nathan Lee on Vimeo.

Me making the 2nd? (i think) ascent of Ben Tetler's Kinder testpiece Highball That You Bastards. The route has sparse protection and quite difficult climbing on slightly suspicious edges. It has no proper protection and the FA was soloed. I chose to use a runner at ground level to prevent me falling down the steep hillside and also a big sling on a very dubious flake, I doubt this would hold in the event of a fall. The half height crux is essentially unprotected.
