BritRock brings together world-class athletes and everyday questers alike. Grab your mates, grab a seat, and get ready for a night of pure climbing inspiration.
Little Wings – 25mins.
For 5'2” Tina Breslin, the tallest lines bring the greatest solace. Tina was recently diagnosed with ADHD, and highballs are her escape from an overactive mind. We follow Tina's climbing year as she tours stunning lines in North Yorkshire and the Lakes, supported by her partner Ian Henderson – a 6'4 giant who provides no useful beta! Tina's severe lack of reach and her neurological state provide ever-present challenges that Tina never shies from. This film is a sweet and charming exploration of the mental benefits of climbing, and of the focus that can be found in commitment. In the grand conclusion, the stakes are raised when Tina attempts 'Hang the Gallows High', a route where falling is not an option.
Game of Stones – 90mins
2025 proved to be one of the best trad climbing years in living memory, and filmmaker Al Lee has been on a mission to document its most incredible ascents. Game of Stones celebrates UK trad climbing in all its glory – the colourful characters, the rich history, the thrilling lines, the awesome climbing!
Highlights include:
Jaw-dropping onsights from the likes of Siebe Vanhee, Robbie Phillips, Steve McClure and Mat Wright.
First ascents from Ferdia Earle, Ian Cooper and Franco Cookson.
Super-impressive hard repeats from Billy Rydal (Rhapsody E11 7a) and Katie Keely (Always the Sun, E7 6b)
Blind climber Jess Dufton making his most impressive ‘non-sight’ to date with an ascent of the Pembroke route ‘Howling Gale’, E3 6a.
This epic documentary celebrates the brilliance of British trad climbing with action from today's heroes, but also with an eye on the history and ethics that make UK trad unique. Cameos from Zoe Wood, John Dunne and Tanya Meridith all help paint an entertaining and vibrant picture of today's trad climbing scene.
The film unfolds across some of the UK's most amazing locations, from the Cuillins to Pembroke, from Sca Fell to North Wales and from Ben Loyal to Yorkshire limestone.
Strap in for another classic to rival anything in the BritRock canon.
