Hans-Peter Stauber ( 2014 - Austria )
The Tyrolean David Lama has climbed an 8a route already at the age of ten, and he has become several times Youth World Champion and European Youth Champion in bouldering and lead climbing.

This documentary portrays David Lama from his first climbing attempts as a little boy to his big adventures in present time. We see famous locations, such as the climbing paradise on Lake Garda, the notorious Sagwand Face in the Zillertal Alps, and the 7.821m high Masherbrum in the Karakorum with its still untouched north east face.

Granite Earth
Jon Glassberg ( 2013 - USA )
The boulderer… A rare species of human that survives purely on its ability to perform a delicate dance between life and death in perfect synergy with granite. Lacking the ability to bathe and engage in non-climbing social settings, the climber is often left with nothing but chalky hands and a deeply ingrained quest to find the purest rocks, while simultaneously searching for a mate on this grey and white planet. This is… Granite Earth.
