About the Climbing Film Tour

CELEBRATING CLIMBING STORIES FROM AROUND THE WORLD

The Climbing Film Tour is a global celebration of climbing culture — featuring a hand-picked selection of short films that highlight the people, places, and passions that shape the vertical world.

Launched by the team behind Vertical Life magazine, the tour was created to bring climbers together through film — whether you’re projecting hard, climbing for fun, or just love a good story from the crag. From high alpine objectives to urban bouldering, every film is selected to reflect the diversity and depth of the global climbing community.

Each year, new films are submitted by climbers and filmmakers around the world. Our team curates the final lineup for screenings in climbing gyms, cinemas, and local venues across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond.

The tour continues to grow — but at its heart, it’s still about sharing stories that resonate with climbers of all levels, fostering connection, and celebrating the outdoors together.
