Petzl RocTrip China 2011 - The official movie

This short film documents the Petzl RocTrip held in China from October 26–30, 2011, when more than 600 climbers gathered and organizers developed over 250 new sport pitches on local limestone. The movie includes several notable ascents: Dani Andrada on Corazón de Ensueno, a seven-pitch 8c/5.14b that Andrada established in 2010 and which earned him Climbing Magazine's Golden Piton; Gabriele Moroni's first ascent of Coup de Bambou (9a/5.14d); and Steph Bodet and Arnaud Petit on Lost in Translation (8a+/5.13c). At roughly 23 minutes the film mixes focused climbing sequences with event footage and climbing photography by Julien Nadiras and Bertrand Delapierre, directed by Guillaume Broust and Vlad Cellier. It functions as a compact record of large-scale sport-route development and of how elite climbers approach both hard single-pitch and multi-pitch limestone lines in the context of a bolting-and-event-driven trip.
