Stefano Ghisolfi

Stefano Ghisolfi is an Italian professional climber from Turin (born 1993) whose verified record lists competition climbing, sport climbing and bouldering among his specialties; publicly documented achievements include redpointing a 9b+ route in December 2018, a milestone reported in mainstream climbing sources. His filmography in this catalog concentrates on the process behind top-end sport climbing projects.

In EXCALIBUR | The North Face the camera follows Ghisolfi over two years as he works a steep, overhanging sport line defined by very small holds and sustained movement. The film is structured around projecting: rehearsing sequences, isolating and refining individual moves, and assembling those pieces into a redpoint attempt. The producers present the line as an exceptionally hard route and the film culminates with Ghisolfi’s recorded claim of a first ascent; the footage is candid about the repetition, the attention to footwork and contact strength, and the incremental nature of projecting at the upper limits of the discipline.

Viewers will come away with a concrete sense of what elite sport projecting looks like — the patience devoted to tiny adjustments, the technical attention to body position and precise footwork on marginal holds, and the training-to-attempt cycle that separates practice sequences from a full redpoint run.
