“Rotpunkt” documents the pain, planning, and art that is redpointing through the efforts of climbing machine Alex Megos. In climbing, redpointing refers to free-climbing a route on lead after having practiced the route beforehand.
The film traces the roots of the strategy back through rural Bavaria’s climbing scene and up to young climber Alex Megos’ career. Watch as Megos “battles to unlock new levels of human potential,” sending the stoke to levels we didn’t think were possible.
