The UK and Ireland Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour is hitting the road once again with a brand new selection of the best climbing and adventure films from some of the world's best adventure filmmakers.
The Banff Tour presented by Arc'teryx will bring the films, all in stunning high definition on the big screen, to loads of new communities including Malvern, North Wales, Inverness, Canterbury, Dorking, Salisbury, Exeter and Truro. We're also heading to the Emerald Isle with stops at Cork, Kilkenny, Dublin and Belfast. Come and see why more than 250,000 people across the globe gather at their local screening each year to catch up with friends and get psyched for adventures in the year ahead.
As well as seeing amazing films, you can also win some GREAT PRIZES FROM ARC'TERYX (GoreTex Jacket), PATAGONIA, COTSWOLD OUTDOOR, KEEN, BLACK DIAMOND and SEA TO SUMMIT. There is a free CLIF BAR for everyone in the audience.
FILMS
GIMP MONKEYS - What has four legs, five arms, and three heads? The Gimp Monkeys! Three climbers are linked by their missing limbs, but it is their shared passion for climbing that pushes them towards an improbable goal - to achieve the first all-disabled ascent of Yosemite National Park's iconic El Capitan.
RR: HONNOLD 3.0 - Alex Honnold has become known as the boldest solo climber of his generation. In this dangerous game, how does he balance pure ambition and self-preservation? Honnold wrestles with this question in preparation for his biggest adventure yet - the Yosemite Triple. He sets out to climb Mt Watkins, El Capitan and Half Dome in Yosemite National Park, 95% of it without ropes - all within a 24 hour period!
RR: WIDE BOYZ - American "off-width" crack climbing has spawned a counter-culture of rough and tumble characters who aren't afraid to bleed their way up a route. Two British lads, Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker, crossed the Atlantic to test themselves on some of the gnarliest wide cracks in the US, including the first ascent of the world's hardest off-width known as Century Crack.
As well as the above films, there will be a selection of other award-winning films featuring an epic expedition to the South Pole, mountain biking, skiing and whitewater kayaking.
