Experiencing Interruptions?

Looking back. The art of bolting.

Only 1% of climbers bolt new routes. We approach a world unknown to many through the eyes of four climbers from the Basque Country who have devoted their lives to bolting.

Their lives intersect to show us a personal story about something that unites all of us; passion.
