Sender Films -- THE SHARP END
December 8, 2008, 7:57 am / Categories: Miscellaneous
Sender Films’ latest — “The Sharp End” — is a vividly-filmed and heart-pounding hour of rock climbing, alpine and ice ascents, slack-lining and BASE jumping — plus a few creative amalgams of all the aforementioned gravity-based disciplines. Honestly, if you’re a climber or not, this film will thrill. Scenes range from free solos by Steph Davis (in Colorado and Utah), to Dean Potter high-lining hundreds of feet above the desert (with backup parachute), to an obscure knot-protected, chalkless sandstone spire climbing in the Czech Republic. Footage of wing-suit BASE jumping in Italy with Chris McNamara and a chest-mounted video camera is beyond stunning.
See the trailer here below, then order The Sharp End at Sender Films for $29.95.
