This year's REEL ROCK includes exclusive premieres of short films by co-founders Sender Films and Big UP Productions that tell the stories of the most exciting vertical achievements from the past year, including an epic traverse across the jagged peaks of Patagonia, a rowdy pumpfest at 24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell, and an exclusive look at the history-making Dawn Wall free ascent. REEL ROCK 10 will feature athletes Tommy Caldwell, Kevin Jorgeson, Alex Honnold and Daniel Woods, with a special tribute to the late Dean Potter. Audiences will share in moments of hilarity, struggle and triumph as these hardcore and often larger-than-life climbers take on awe-inspiring challenges.
The event is designed to bring together those who share a love and passion for the outdoors to be inspired by amazing footage of climbers and adventure enthusiast pushing themselves to the limit. Along with the films, information booths will be set up in the back of Evans Auditorium. The booths will include the Mast General Store, Footsloggers, Rock Dimensions, North Carolina Outward Bound School, Misty Mountain Threadworks, The American Alpine Club (Southeast Division), Carolina Climbers Coalition, Regear and Center 45.
