The Sharp End is one of the best climbing films ever made. Without a doubt. A Synopsis of the film:

THE SHARP END is a film about the climbers who pursue wild and record-breaking challenges the world over, push themselves to the limits of their ability, and risk everything on the razor's edge between success and disaster.

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 film follows Steph Davis, Tommy Caldwell, Matt Segal, Lisa Rands, Topher Donahue, Adam Ondra and many other leading rock athletes to stunning locales across the globe: The Italian Alps, the sandstone
spires of the Czech Republic, Yosemite Valley, the Utah Desert, and the Colorado Rockies.

Like Sender Film's past contributions, THE SHARP END will deliver mind-blowing HD cinematography, gut laughs, dramatic twists, and the most exciting climbing film experience of the year.

To wet your appetite, some recent South African reviews:
"You know you're watching a great climbing film when your palms are sweating and you start trying to chalk up"; Tom Markiewicz, allclimbing.com

Tony Lourens from SA Mountain Sports Magazine has seen it and writes:
"WOW!!! That about sums up The Sharp End in one word. Other words that come to mind are incredible, mind-blowing and f@#% me! This movie akes the phrases 'out there', 'run out' and 'muchos grande cahoonas' take on a whole new meaning."

Justin Lawson from climb.co.za: "WOW... Hectic! We've never seen a climbing film quite like the Sharp End before. The climbing as well as the camera work is simply amazing."

Banff Film Festival review: "You may be tempted to think that it's all been done before, that is until you see The Sharp End.While many climbing and mountaineering movies show athletes 'pushing the limits', none push them quite as far as the climbers in The Sharp End, which portrays several of the world's top climbers, climbing at an extremely high level of risk, and of course reward."
