For Those About To Rock Climb

Much like the renegade master, the Reel Rock Film Tour is back once again. This collection of extreme sports short films and docs is designed to make sure you don’t look down. I said don’t. Peaking our interest (typo intentional) is The High Road, which sees star athlete Nina Williams getting to grips with every boulderer’s biggest nightmare/fantasy: solving elite-level problems which are up to 50 feet tall, all whilst saying sayonara to the safety rope. More suicidal still, The Nose Speed Record (pictured) features the most intense “race you to the top” since Year 9 was allowed to "tidy up the equipment" at the end of double PE. This time, it’s between rock climbing royalty Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold who scramble up El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. The tour comes to Brum’s Crescent Theatre at 7.30pm on November 20. Tickets are £14.50 and come with free vertigo.
