Can't Believe This Exists in New York City

Magnus Midtbø visits New York City to document a small, gym-centred bouldering scene. The film centers on sessions at Afterhours Climbing (credited in the video) and the people who run and climb there, with camera work by Meciah Mahon and editing by Sam Tuck. Rather than presenting a single hard send or a named outdoor line, the piece records indoor bouldering problems and the session dynamics that happen after regular hours. As a short documentary piece it is useful for how it frames urban climbing as community and training practice: movement on gym problems, partner belays for projects, and the social structure that sustains night-time sessions in a dense city. The film's value is documentary — it captures an aspect of American climbing culture (New York City, USA) that is more gym-based than the usual outdoor-focused climbing films, and it shows practical approaches to bouldering in that environment.
