Zodiac
Jon Glassberg (2017)
In November 2016, Barbara 'Babsi' Zangerl and Jacopo Larcher went to battle on one of El Capitan most formidable free routes. With some of the hardest climbing in the Yosemite Valley crammed into 16-pitches, Zodiac (5.13d) had only seen two previous free ascents—until Babsi and Jacopo showed up. The route, opened by Charlie Porter in 1972, was first free climbed by Alex and Thomas Huber in October 2003, and later, by Tommy Caldwell just two months later.- 2017

Golden Line Verdon
Stefan Fritsche (2017)
The climbing route 'Golden Shower' in the Verdon Gorge was first ascended in 2012 by Stefan Glowacz. With its 150 meters and difficulties up to 8b+ it is one of the most difficult multi-pitch routes in the area. The one-day redpoint ascent of these four pitches on the extremely steep Maugué pillar is still outstanding. The two climbers and mountain guides Tobias Bitschnau and Christoph Schranz are fascinated by the distinctive and exposed line of the route. So, they decide to tackle the project. The key passages and the quite untypical rock quality for Verdon will demand everything from them.- 2017

Memento
Gerald Salmina (2006)
What happens when a crazy moviemaker meets a crazy boulderer and they decide to make a movie together? You could call it preprogrammed chaos, or the beginning of a joint vision. Camera work and direction show bouldering in a unique style. The philosophy and climbing artistry of Bernd Zangerl top the film off. Each of the locations -- Ticino, Magic Wood and the Silvretta Mountains -- has its own character, style and ambiance.- 2006
