Rutas de tributo: Beckey-Chouinard
Benjamín Soto (2016)
A team of Mexican climbers is fine-tuning the crampons and the car to drive from Guadalajara to Canada to climb the Bugaboos in Canadian British Columbia to face a great challenge: climb the iconic Beckey-Chouinard route and, incidentally, meet the legendary Dirtbag, Fred Beckey. A project that is not only representative of the spirit of sporting achievement, it also brings together the elements of adventure and exploration that define the values of what it means mountaineering.Rutas de tributo: Beckey-Chouinard

Por qué escalamos
Benjamín Soto (2015)
Pursuing their dreams and passion, sometimes far into what some people would call insane, this short film tells the story of why these athletes do what they do, what is in rock-climbing that moves so many of them so deeply that is no longer only a sport, but a way of life. The film tries to respond to all this through the testimony of a group of Mexican climbers. An advertising-style film produced by Alta Vertical and Zenith Adventure Media.Benjamín Soto, Cristóbal de Alba
