Welcome to the Hood[1. WTTH from here on out] is the second offering, after the well-received The Schengen Files, from Paul Robinson and Alex Kahn’s PRAK Media. WTTH follows Robinson, Daniel Woods, Guntram Jörg and Anthony Gullsten to various European hotspots. And much like The Schengen Files, WTTH was more or less filmed, edited and packaged for sale by the climbers themselves. Since climbing movie reviews are notoriously difficult to write, I will try to keep this pretty simple.

Review: A Fine Line
A Fine Line follows the likes of Jimmy Webb, Brion Voges, Brad Weaver, Daniel Woods and Dave Graham as they spend a few months doing what they do best, namely doing nothing but bouldering. While ostensibly a “bouldering movie”, A Fine Line is in many ways not your typical bouldering movie.

This incredible photo essay by Keith Ladzinski from his trip to Australia last year with Dave Graham, Nalle Hukkataival and Ian Dory would make a great coffee table book don’t you think? (h/t Josh on twitter for the link).
“You think it will be cool till it isn’t fun anymore”
The North Face catches up with their athlete Alex Honnold to find out a bit more about his and Tommy Caldwell’s big day in Yosemite, his plans to rope solo the same feat for his segment in the Reel Rock Tour and a casual mention of how he free soloed the West Face of El Cap. As to how the idea for the triple link-up came about:
You do one route and you have a lot of time left in the day and you think, “Oh maybe we should have done two.” And eventually you do two with time left over and you say, “maybe we could do three…” and we did three and we didn’t have any time left over so we said, “we’re over it.”
More detail and pictures from Kelly Cordes on the big day here as well.
