The Reel Rock Tour has unveiled their website for the 2011 edition of the show giving more insight into what films we can look forward to seeing. Among the offerings is footage of Ashima Shiraishi’s trip to Hueco, Dean Potter and Sean Leary racing up The Nose, Andy Lewis slacklining, Will Gadd and Tim Emmett climbing crazy ice in Canada and more from Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson’s efforts to free a line up El Cap’s Dawn Wall.

With the July 15th deadline fast approaching, the folks at the Reel Rock Tour are still looking for submissions to their filmmaking contest as well:
Hmm, none of this stuff seems all that new. I’d probably be interested in the Dawn wall stuff because I find big wall freeclimbing the most appealing of those various genres, but I’ve seen clips here and there of it before.
Hey narco, what’s up with the whole PCI thing? I haven’t seen anything come from that except for the blurb on your banner.

PCI is still in the process of getting off the ground so that relationship
is still developing…

Looking forward to the Ashima section the most, closely followed by the big wall stuffs!

Instead of the slacklining, I would have much preferred something involving hard sport climbing (One of Ondra’s or Sharma’s recent ascents). A profile on the Raboutou family could have been sweet as well (12yr old climbing 5.14a).

…a slacllining film? whilst Sharma pulled off a 9a+ & 9b in the same day (and finished frfm) and ondra… well yeah… ondras been busy rewriting the book………… and there’s a slacklining film, wha?

Will and Tim’s ascent of Spray On seems like the only interesting video of the bunch, because it focuses on some cool climbing without feeling like a retread (the Dawn Wall stuff would be better if earlier footage of the project hadn’t already appeared in Progression).
And agreed with the criticism of there being a slacklining film – that’s not climbing, it’s an activity some climbers like to do to kill time.
