Unique shapes, no two the same, formed by the action of water and frost. The water that once ran from the summits in torrents and waterfalls is immobilized for a few weeks. The thing is to be there, in time, just at the moment when they become solid, just before they return to water. A question of balance. Around seven top-level climbers who represent all the richness of the activity, these images will highlight different techniques and different approaches. Although the athletic performance is impressive, it is there only to emphasize the dazzling shapes, the warmth of friendships, the stories of teamwork.

July 2022. Two high mountain guides, Frédéric Dégoulet and Benjamin Ribeyre embark on a journey around the Mer de Glace via the most legendary peaks of the Mont-Blanc massif.

Still 2020, still making super serious mountain films, Still Solo. 'Tis the season for cliché rom coms based in quaint ski towns, so here's ours. Presenting: the ultimate romantic comedy for lonely skiers — featuring Sam Kuch and Katie Burrell.

What has four legs, five arms and three heads? The Gimp Monkeys. Craig DeMartino lost his leg after a 100-foot climbing fall. Pete Davis with born without an arm. Bone cancer claimed Jarem Frye's left leg at the age of 14. While the three are linked by what they are missing, it is their shared passion for climbing that pushed them towards an improbable goal - the first all-disabled ascent of Yosemite's iconic El Capitan.

Told from the perspective of some of the best ice climbers in the world today, paired with archival footage from the infancy of the sport, this documentary honours the spirit of Guy Lacelle.

North of the 51st parallel, where the dense boreal forest opens onto an arctic islet, the snow-capped peaks of the Uapishka Mountains watch over the Nitassinan of Pessamit. In the heart of winter, a group of Innu and non-Innu adventurers attempt to cross this vast mountain range on snowshoes, completely independently. Faced with the vastness of the territory, the rigors of the northern climate and the impetuous breath of the tundra, they discover each other in a different way, form friendships and unite to better chart their course. Over the kilometres, the adventure reveals a space for meeting, sharing and reconciliation.

In this film, two people and two worlds meet. Craig DeMartino, an adaptive climber from Boulder (Colorado) and Kai Lin, an industrial engineer from Brooklyn (New York) team up to design a game-changing prosthetic foot. This is easier said than done. Early prototypes don't hold up to the rigors of straight-in crack climbing, but this unlikely alliance is determined to test the power of problem-solving, so Craig and Lin keep at it.

An inspiring short film that celebrates the universal language of skiing as a catalyst for human connection. Featuring men and women skiers from Norway, France, Switzerland, Canada, the Netherlands, and Japan, this story serves as a reminder that sometimes the most profound communication occurs when words are not needed at all. From bottomless pow turns in majestic Japanese forests to the high volcanic alpine of central Hokkaido, Lexicon reminds us of the transformative power of adventure, cultural exchange, and the bonds we can create when we embrace our shared passions and the inherent joy of connecting with people from different walks of life.

How far can buses, trains, and your own two feet take you? Last winter, Silvia Moser, Max Kroneck, Joi Hoffman, and Lois Isliker set out to answer that question, skiing their way through Eastern Europe while relying solely on public transit. Follow along as the team encounters everything from deep days weaving through the trees of Tarviso to high alpine sunset laps in Romania, finding depth in the unexpected, and a newfound appreciation for the moments in-between.

In an era where many climbers are using fixed ropes and sport-climbing tactics to free El Cap, climbers like Amity Warme and Brent Barghahn are choosing to keep adventure alive. Going ground up, Amity and Brent pull off a free ascent of the Pineapple Express variation of El Niño (5.13b/c) over eight days, battling variable conditions, friable rock, and, for Amity, a serious finger injury. This documentary captures the tenacity, grit, and performance mindset required to go ground up on a free ascent of El Capitan.

In the mountains, like in life, most days are not perfect. But for ACMG Splitboard guides Christine Feleki and Joey Vosburgh, it’s their job to make each of their 150+ days a year in the mountains meaningful. Working as a guide is a non-stop grind of managing uncertainty, prioritizing safety, and finding time in between to hone skills and techniques in a constantly evolving field. It’s also the best job in the world - they’ll tell you that. To strive for longevity as a guide requires a deep knowledge of avalanche safety and risk assessment, but equally important is a constant emphasis on self-reflection and growth. This year, they ventured in a corner of the Selkirk Range that Joey’s been eyeing for years, working their way through variable conditions, reflecting on their journeys, and stepping into uncertainty with an open mind.

Two young brothers from the Lil'wat Nation set out to ski the sacred mountain they were raised beneath, pushing both themselves and their culture to evolve.

When two climbers partner up to free climb a route in Yosemite, but only one succeeds, they rejoin again the next season to free climb the route over two days.

Patagonia, the Southern end of South America, where the border bewteen fantasy and reality disappears. Between deserts and mountains, Arc’teryx athlete Johannes Hoffmann and Thibaud Duchosal are embarking on a 1500 km journey to the end of the world in company of local gaucho skier Lucas Swieykowski. But penetrating a territory where the wind reigns as master is not an easy task and reserves lot of uncertainties.
