If it was with Katie Brown it was called Pilgrimage.

Excellent, I agree.

The one that pops into my mind is Nick Brown's beautiful little film of Mina Leslie-Wujastyk on Careless Torque.

I don't generally take much interest in bouldering, but as a bit of an Ondra fanboy, I always thought this was brilliant: https://youtu.be/6Ghu8PigrTI?si=ktrWixBdP6zJY5WA

Guliano Cameroni working up to a Power of Now first accent is a great bit of work capturing the process…

Not all bouldering, but, the bit in Camp 4 with Ron Kauk in Masters of Stone 3 is amazing.

"Stick It: 👍

https://youtu.be/hIX4qErutvw?feature=shared

It shows a great selection of British bouldering from around the country, plus some good music tracks.

It also shows in the first few moments how to do "Vienna" at Bowden properly! Those who use the crimp shouldn't be allowed to show their faces! 🤣

For me it was like the bouldering version of "Hard Grit" 

"Bleau" is lovely as well as posted above

'Free Hueco' from 1998.It displayed the new generation of younger but very strong climbers like Chris Sharma crushing the hardest new problems.It didn't just focus on sponsored heroes though.It also I think was the first climbing film showing how bouldering mats could transform what you could climb without a rope in a bouldering context

In reply to racodemisa:

Only a short film but a good one:

West coast gimps, frequent flyers and l'etranger are all worth a watch.

Short and old-skool... Splinter: https://www.ukclimbing.com/videos/categories/bouldering/splinter-3414

"That's me back up to full power..."

I also loved 'The Night Of...' which was a short film with Nalle's thoughts and ponderings just after climbing Burden Of Dreams (including send footage, and lots of previous failings...)  Sadly, I can't find a working link for that.  Anyone know where it can be viewed from?

Only problem here is that the erosion basically means it’s a different problem to 23 years ago 🤣

Stick it was great.

I've got a soft spot for HTTP:Bloc because it was the first bouldering video (!) I ever bought.

David Fitzgerald on Bügeleisen is a lovely little film. youtube.com/watch?v=nHM5qs_yZag&

But my favourite is always Stone Love. 'We don't need a f****** kilo of apples'! And Malc glaring at a rock.
