The Reel Rock Film Tour is back for 2019, bringing an evening of the world's best new climbing films to venues around the UK and Ireland this autumn.
Reel Rock 14 features a brand-new collection of cutting-edge climbing films from the world's best adventure film-makers! In a battle for El Capitan's coveted Nose speed record, rock legends Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold (star of the Oscar-winning documentary Free Solo) go head to head with Yosemite dirtbags Jim Reynolds and Brad Gobright. Join bouldering ace Nina Williams as she flexes her guns and tests her nerves well into the no-fall zone, plus more of the world's top athletes pushing themselves to the limits in wild corners of the globe.
The Tour premieres in the UK on 28th October in London and Manchester - and then sets out on its biggest ever nationwide Tour with lots of new locations.
As always there will be free prize giveaways throughout the Tour from the Reel Rock Tour partners: DMM, The North Face, Clif Bar and Ellis Brigham.

Reel Rock 14's film line-up features:
THE NOSE SPEED RECORD
For decades, an elite handful of climbers have competed for the coveted speed record on the 3,000ft Nose of El Capitan, risking big falls to shave mere seconds off the fastest time. When a record held by superstar Alex Honnold is broken by little-known climbers Brad Gobright and Jim Reynolds, Honnold drafts in fellow climbing legend Tommy Caldwell to establish a new mark that will stand the test of time.
THE HIGH ROAD
While the world's best boulderers push standards close to the ground, Nina Williams' sights are set higher. She is among a small number of women who climb elite-level problems that are 30, 40 or even 50ft tall – with no rope. In this profile of an emerging star athlete, Nina Williams flexes her guns and tests her nerves well into the no-fall zone.
UNITED STATES OF JOE'S
In rural Utah, a valley of world-class bouldering is nestled among a conservative community of Mormons, cowboys and coal miners. When a ragged band of punk rock climbers shows up, the two cultures inevitably clash. After years of antagonism, a group of climbers work with locals to build a more harmonious future. But in this divided era, is that even possible?
