Hosted by Spire, this one-night-only screening brings together the local climbing community for an evening of adventure, storytelling and pushing limits on rock and ice. There will also be a kickin’ Raffle to support the Bozeman Climbing Team.
REEL ROCK brings the best climbing and adventure films of the year to live audiences throughout the world. The screenings are high energy, community events that go beyond mere film screenings to include prize giveaways, athlete and filmmaker appearances, nonprofit fundraising and a festival atmosphere.
Founded in 2005 by groundbreaking filmmakers Josh Lowell and Peter Mortimer, the REEL ROCK Film Tour has grown into the premier global platform for award-winning climbing films that weave bold action, humor, heart, and soul into larger-than-life human stories for a wide audience, from the core climber to the armchair mountaineer.
