Bouldering in Las Vegas and Argentina with Nalle Hukkataival

This short film delves into the mindset of Nalle Hukkataival as he attempts to repeat one of America's hardest problems, Sleepwalker (8C+), and balancing that with his true motivation of climbing first ascents. He explains that for him, the moment of actually climbing a boulder problem is secondary compared to the hard work of finding, cleaning and working out the climb.

The film juxtaposes his attempts on Sleepwalker with a trip to the Argentinian bouldering area of Tuzgle, where Hukkataival's main aim is to develop new climbs. Tuzgle was first developed by a group of French and Swiss climbers in 2008. The area is on a 14,00ft high altiplano at the base of a volcano and has great potential for development.
