Catch a Screening of This Cave Climbing Film at a Climbing Gym Near You Next Week

 

Catch a screening of the fun new rock climbing film, Five Caves Five Days, from The North Face at a local climbing gym or theatre this week!

Wild climbing guy Ben Cossey is one of Australia’s best climbers, and he’s been explorin’ (are you allowed to stop? – Ed).

Specifically, he’s looking for crags outside the big four. We all know the Grampians, Arapiles, Nowra, and the Blue Mountains, but what else is out there? Ben fired up the van with fellow athlete Lucy Stirling and went looking for caves in NSW and Queensland.

They found gold. From Campbelltown to Coolum, director Brecon Littleford caught the beauty, the pain, and the community of local climbers showing off their home turf.

Hit play on the trailer to get an idea of it all.

Where can I ‘catch’ a screening?

A tight run of screenings begins next week from Monday to Saturday (six days, missed opportunity in my opinion, yes I know they have to drive to QLD!) that hits a bunch of climbing gyms and small theatres. Check out the events below on our Event Calendar.

• 17th February – Mount Vic Flicks – NSW
• 18th February – BlocHaus Leichardt – NSW
• 19th February – Pulse Climbing Adamstown – NSW
• 21st February – Urban Climb Milton – QLD

Not only will the team behind the film be there to chat, there’ll be beers from Mountain Culture, CLIF bars (lol), prizes, and a Q&A. I can smell the chalk already.

More screenings are coming in March and you can even apply to host your own on The North Face website.
