Valley Uprising meets Hard Grit, on the boulders...
BLOCHEADS - Alastair Lee's latest film follows the fearsomely strong Blocheads as they quest for new lines and push the limits of human ability. It's a story of adventure, rocky passions and mutant fingers. It's the story of a search for bouldering gold.
There's history too, we delve into bouldering's murky past. Once it was just a bit of fun outside the climbing hut. Now it's 'a thing'. From the first recorded bouldering in the 19th century, through to the rise of bouldering as a sport. Revelling in the UK's golden age, Blocheads includes numerous first ascents, off-the-scale gnarly moves and hair-raising highballs. Sumptuous production. Anarchy. Daft bits. Awesome bits. Get a ticket.
World Premiere at the Kendal Mountain Festival 8pm, Friday 18th Nov.Includes super short by Nick Brown and BMC TV 'Shauna Coxsey Goes Crack Climbing'. Stars from the film Dan Varian & Jerry Moffatt will be there for some tricks and challenges before and after the screening. http://www.mountainfest.co.uk/programme/event/world-film-premiere-blocheads...
