A climbing documentary is a film that explores the world of rock climbing, mountaineering, or bouldering. These documentaries often feature climbers tackling challenging routes, showcasing their skills, techniques, and the breathtaking landscapes they navigate. They may also delve into the history of climbing, the evolution of gear, and the environmental impact of the sport. Many climbing documentaries highlight the personal stories of climbers, including their motivations, struggles, and triumphs. Notable examples include films about climbers like Alex Honnold and his free solo ascent of El Capitan, or the adventures of teams attempting to summit peaks like K2 or Everest.
