From acclaimed directors Paul Diffley and Chris Alstrin comes a wild journey through the strange sub-culture of offwidth crack climbing. Join two brave British lads, Pete Whittaker and Tom Randall, as they take on the decidedly American sport of climbing bloody, painful and often dangerous cracks that require wedging body parts into places they weren't meant to be. Randall and Whittaker's ultimate goal is to make the first ascent of a renowned offwidth test-piece known as Century Crack, which looms above the forgotten lands deep in the Utah desert. If they can achieve this unlikely climb from under the noses of the competitive Americans, it will be a coup for these young up-starts, but the odds are stacked against them.
Dynamism and precision, confidence and concentration, incredible strength and 100 percent control of the body. These are the ingredients for extreme climbing. The Huber brothers have plenty of this! For one last time, they want to prove to all their friends and followers that they can still handle extremely difficult routes. It is their last big goal and for this they chose an incredibly steep wall in the Alps that they have not yet been able to conquer. This is part of what is perhaps the most difficult route in the Alps, the " Karma " route. The film also portrays the Huber brothers outside the world of mountains and climbing. The viewer will also get to know them as musicians and they will talk about the past, long-gone successes and failures. In addition to a very personal story, you will also see never-before-seen 3D images of extreme beauty and depth.
