The Sharp End – Steph Davis Episode
Saturday, February 21, 7:30 pm

Centennial Theatre
USA, 2008, 15 min
Directed & Produced by Peter Mortimer & Nick Rosen
THE SHARP END is a series of short films about the climbers who push themselves to the limits of adventure, and risk everything on the razor’s edge between success and disaster. trailer




Run out trad routes, scary high-ball boulder problems, ice-covered alpine walls and all-or-nothing free-solo ascents form the crucibles in which these climbers push through their fear and discover the uncertain consequences that lie on the other side. The Steph Davis Episode follows Steph as she soloes the Casual Route on Longs Peak’s Diamond.
