The fourth annual Reel Rock Film Tour comes to the University of Wyoming College of Agriculture auditorium Friday, Sept. 18, at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
Reel Rock is a 100-city tour featuring some of the world's top climbing and adventure
films while providing giveaways, excitement and support to non-profit organizations.
This year's tour includes the world premiere of the film "Progression" by Big UP
Productions, which tells the story of Chris Sharma's project of the world's hardest
sport route and other climbs by Kevin Jorgeson and Tommy Caldwell. Also showing is
a sneak peak of the series "First Ascent" by Sender Films and National Geographic,
and the two winners of the Reel Rock filmmaking competition.
The event is sponsored by the UW Outdoor Program and Cross Country Connection. Attendees
will be encouraged to donate to the Access Fund, which serves as an advocacy organization
representing 1.6 million climbers and helps to protect climbing areas across the United
States.
