Summary
With the proliferation of indoor climbing gyms and the sport’s inclusion in the Olympic Games, climbing – long a counter-cultural movement – is undergoing a profound transformation and facing a major paradox. On the one hand, climbing gyms are experiencing a surge in popularity, while on the other, natural climbing sites are under serious threat. What vertical legacy will we leave to future generations? Is outdoor climbing destined to disappear? What will the future hold for climbing? Led by Cédric Lachat the film provides an overview of this counter-culture, which has recently become a social phenomenon.
Following the premiere of the film by Guillaume Broust, we will discuss the future and evolution of climbing with some leading figures from the sport.
