WideBoyz is a great film! Well-deserved first prize. Not only a sweat-inducing climbing film with a crystal clear story line, but also funny, scary and visually inspiring.

The climbers and the cast of interviewees just make it work really well. Even the accidental (?) product placement beside Stevie Haston's teacup was just right.....

Well done the climbers, well done Paul Diffley.

Looking forward to watching this on Saturday

In reply to UKC News: That Alex Honnold is an absolute beast..though watching him solo I always have my heart in my mouth. Hope the 'Coming Fall' bit of 'Coming Fall 2012' isn't unintended prescience...

In reply to UKC News:

I genuinely think that this year's crop of climbing films is the strongest to date. So many very good films.

In conjunction with the screening of the Wideboyz films there is a exhibition of photographs from the trip on display in the Workstation next to the Showroom.
Cheers
