Wide Boyz
Overview
From acclaimed directors Paul Diffley and Chris Alstrin comes a wild journey through the strange sub-culture of offwidth crack climbing. Join two brave British lads, Pete Whittaker and Tom Randall, as they take on the decidedly American sport of climbing bloody, painful and often dangerous cracks that require wedging body parts into places they weren't meant to be. Randall and Whittaker's ultimate goal is to make the first ascent of a renowned offwidth test-piece known as Century Crack, which looms above the forgotten lands deep in the Utah desert. If they can achieve this unlikely climb from under the noses of the competitive Americans, it will be a coup for these young up-starts, but the odds are stacked against them.

Pushing the Limit
Dynamism and precision, confidence and concentration, incredible strength and 100 percent control of the body. These are the ingredients for extreme climbing. The Huber brothers have plenty of this! For one last time, they want to prove to all their friends and followers that they can still handle extremely difficult routes. It is their last big goal and for this they chose an incredibly steep wall in the Alps that they have not yet been able to conquer. This is part of what is perhaps the most difficult route in the Alps, the " Karma " route. The film also portrays the Huber brothers outside the world of mountains and climbing. The viewer will also get to know them as musicians and they will talk about the past, long-gone successes and failures. In addition to a very personal story, you will also see never-before-seen 3D images of extreme beauty and depth.
Das Gesäuse
"On the Enns from Admont to Hieflau and over the 'limestone walls' from the Haindlkar hut to the Hess hut. The roaring Enns with whitewater up to level 6 and the 'Buhlweg', which has never been freely climbed before and leads with difficulties up to 10 degrees through the 'invincible limestone walls' of the 'Dachl Nordwand', are the focus of this documentation. The climbers Jürgen Reinmüller and Gernot Mausser as well as the two world class canoeists Matthias Schmid and Herwig Natmessnig make a journey from 'then to today'."
X-Ice - 3 Waterfalls in 24 Hours
"The natural ice arena in the Gastein Valley with its frozen waterfalls is the Mecca of ice climbers. Usually a rope team needs one day per waterfall - but Rudi Hauser, Alexander Holleis and Gerald Zussner, after days of preparation work, will try to climb three of the most impressive waterfalls in one day. In his record attempt, they will also dare a difficult first ascent with a challenging mixed passage of rock and ice. A film by Austrians Eduardo Gellner and Thomas Kretschmer produced with the support of Red Bull."
Wide Boyz II – Slender Gentlemen
After their success climbing the world’s hardest offwidth, the Wide Boyz, Pete Whittaker and Tom Randall, embark on their next crack climbing mission.

First climbed by Canadian ‘rock star’ Sonnie Trotter after battling it out with Didier Berthod, the route hit the media spotlight in the film First Ascent. With no local hard cracks to train on, the Wide Boyz refit their underground training dungeon and commit to a year of torturous finger training. With only a short trip to Canada planned, the Boyz face their biggest challenge yet against the sharp granite bite of the mighty Cobra Crack!
