He calls it the hardest and most beautiful crack he’s ever done - The Crack of Destiny, mid-5.14.

Worlds Hardest Flash - Adam Ondra Climbs 5.15 (9a+) First Try REEL ROCK 2021-06-30 | Stream all our films on Reel Rock Unlimited here: reelrocktour.com"Flashing" a climb means doing it bottom to top, with no falls, on your first try.

Luckily our team was there to capture this rare moment. The full documentary, "Age of Ondra," about Adam's climbing career and his epic mission to flash 9a+, is featured in Reel Rock 13.

Free Solo Climbing With A Parachute - Dean Potter REEL ROCK 2021-05-16 | Dean Potter died on May 16th, 2015 in a wingsuit accident in Yosemite Valley. For two decades he was the de facto leader of the Yosemite monkeys, and was a pioneer in what he called "the dark arts" -- free solo and speed climbing, BASE jumping and wingsuit flying, and highlining. Dean combined his pursuits to conceive the idea of FreeBASE - free solo climbing up tall, overhanging walls, with a BASE jumping parachute on his back for a marginal degree of safety should he fall. One of the world's first freeBASE climbs was this 2008 ascent of The Rostrum, with The Alien Roof finish (5.12). At the time, it was the hardest long free solo ever done in Yosemite. This is a remastered and extended cut of Dean's historic climb.

Chris Sharmas First Ascent of Es Pontás, Mallorca REEL ROCK 2021-04-23 | Watch epic new Reel Rock Films here: reelrocktour.comOne of the most beautiful and outrageous rock climbs ever filmed. Chris Sharma envisioned a line up the underside of this free-standing limestone arch off the coast of Mallorca. Climbing ropeless above the Mediterranean Sea, Sharma spent months attempting the seven foot dyno, splashing down at least 50 times before finally sticking it, then falling many more times at the even harder lip of the arch. He finally made the first ascent of this masterpiece in September, 2006. This is a remastered cut of the send, adapted from the original sequence in our feature documentary King Lines, available here: reelrocktour.com/collections/films/products/king-lines.Es Pontás (The Bridge) is unrated, but considered one of the hardest climbs in the world. It was unrepeated for a decade, and even today has only been done by two other climbers. This piece is dedicated to the late Miquel Riera, the godfather of Mallorcan Psicobloc (deep water soloing) who introduced us all to the fantastic sea cliffs here, loved sharing the beauty of his island, and even pointed Chris to Es Pontas, the ultimate "King Line."
