About this Event

Brit Rock 6 presents a stunning line-up of three superb adventure climbing films capturing all the action and wild characters in what are truly inspiring stories. Set in iconic locations such as El Cap, Devils Tower and also Switzerland!



Imagine trying to lead climb a 5.10d, with your eye closed, placing gear, for 4 pitches ! Meet Jesse Dufton on his mission to be the first blind climber to lead El Matador on the legendary Devils Tower

Or what happens when 2 indoor comp climbers decide to go to El Cap and attempt to free climb one of the most iconic routes in the world, The Nose !

Then after a nasty fall and broken back, follow Freya's return to climbing in pursuit of a hard multi pitch trad climb in the mountains !

*Some explicit language please concider this when bringing young children 13+



’NOSE JOB’ 50 mins - El Cap

Alex Waterhouse and Billy Ridal are two recently retired competition climbers that attempt to apply their indoor skills to real rock in the most extra-ordinary fashion. With almost no traditional climbing experience and barely a multi-pitch climb between them, our audacious duo set out to be the first Britons to make a free ascent of the world famous Nose on El Capitan, Yosemite.

The route was first climbed by Lynn HIll in 1993 and has sub-sequently only recieved eight ascents in 30 years. To say the odds were stacked against them would be an understatement comparable in size to the route itself.

Hold tight as the action packed movie tracks this most unlikely of journeys to success. Features contributions from Lynn Hill, Hans Florine and Leo Houlding.


’CLIMBING BLIND II’ 35 mins - Devils Tower

Following on from our first film ‘Climbing Blind’ (2019) where we see blind climber Jesse Dufton and sight guide Molly Dufton ascend the iconic Old Man of Hoy, this film picks up the story of Jesse’s incredible climbing career.

Born with a rare genetic disease; retinitis pigmentosa, Jesse no longer receives any useful information from his eyes. Despite this Jesse’s climbing has continued to progress. As well as competing on the para-circuit and making first ascents in Morocco, Jesse has managing to on- sight several E2’s. This season Jesse’ s ambition is set on a succesful on-sight of an E3 and chooses the infamous ‘El Matador’ rated 5.10d (E3/4) on the spell binding Devil’s Tower in Wyoming, USA.

What unfolds is one of the most remarkable feats of persistance and human endevour you will ever witness. As terrifying as it is inspiring; Jesse takes several leader falls on route to the summit in a gruling encounter of the blind kind. If advertisy in life presents an oportunity to grow then look no further than our movie Climbing Blind II.


‘FREJA’S BACK’ 25 mins - Switzerland

All-round climber Freja Shannon is back again for 2024. In the late alpine season of 2023 Freja took a serious fall on the committing North Face of the Droites in the French Alps resulting in a broken back. This film tell’s Freja’s story of initial horror and doubts to a full physical recovery. In Freja’s inimitable style and despite the physio’s prognosis, Freja returns to walking and then climbing in an unusually short time frame.

We follow the ups and downs of Freja’s rehabilitation, go on a near calamatus ascent of The Forbes Arete (Aiguille du Chardonnet) which sets up the main objective in the Swiss Alps. Here Freja attempts an ascent of ‘Ave Ceasar’ an immaculate 7c trad route on the spectacular Petit Clocher du Portalet. Whilst physically recovered, as the story transpires it seems the psycological aspects of such a traumatic event may take more time to heal.
