Film about Alex Honnold, Conrad Anker and co in nasty Queen Maud Island

climbingVideos

One year ago, North Face sent six athletes to Queen Maud Island in the Antarctic. Alex Honnold, Conrad Anker, Cedar Wright, Savannah Cummings, Anna Pfaff and Jimmy Chin climb six peaks of the Wolf's Jaw massif. The film will be shown as part of the Reel Rock Tour 2018 in November.

Queen Maud Island in Antarctica is probably one of the most remote and nastiest areas on our planet. The athletes had to deal with bitter cold winds and blizzards. Whenever conditions allowed, they tackled a summit of the Wolf's Jaw massif. During their one-month stay, they climbed a total of six peaks.

In Germany, the strip can be seen for the first time in the High Moves climbing hall in Bensheim (11 November 2018). The Austrians have to wait a little longer - the film will be shown for the first time on December 10, 2018 in the climbing hall in Salzburg. You can find all tour dates under the following link.
