Jimmy Webb

Jimmy Webb is an American bouldering specialist (born 1987) whose resume includes climbs at the very top of the discipline, including ascents at the V16/8C+ level. That combination—powerful, surgically precise movement and the patience to return to gnarly problems—is the through line of the two films in this catalog.

If you watch A Good Season you get a season-length document of Webb working Rocklands sandstone: the film strings together multiple projects and first ascents from his 2019 campaign and devotes time to the repetitive, trial-and-error nature of high-end bouldering. Expect to see how he sequences crimps, stages rest, and re-enters problems across days; the edit reads like a logbook, showing what a particularly productive trip looks like in real time. By contrast, Webb’s presence in ALPHANE places him in a Swiss context alongside other top-tier boulderers. There he appears within a group chasing extreme problems, contributing to a record of projection habits, on-the-rock adjustments, and team dynamics at the cutting edge.

Together the films map the range of elite modern bouldering: deep-volume sandstone seasons and precise, high-stakes European projects. Viewers will learn practical things about how an elite boulderer manages projects—movement rehearsal, sequence-reading, return timing—and how different rock and culture shape those choices. Both films show Webb’s hallmark steadiness on small edges and his willingness to live inside problems until the sequence clicks.
