Four climbing worlds meet in REEL ROCK's new-film trailer
The Reel Rock 20 preview moves from winter ice on Cerro Torre to a sport climber's ambition to complete a 9b+ route.

Reel Rock 20 Official Trailer
A climber searches for a passage through Cerro Torre's ice; elsewhere, another wants to put her name in climbing history on a 9b+ route. The "Reel Rock 20 Official Trailer" brings very different kinds of commitment into the same short preview, from solo mountaineering to bouldering and paraclimbing.
REEL ROCK posted nothing new this week, but that October trailer is its busiest video right now among the uploads gathering momentum. It has passed 200,000 views. The sponsor-backed preview introduces four films, with a paraclimber questioning perceived limits and a competitive sport climber taking on the less predictable demands of outdoor projects.
The channel added roughly 82,000 views across the week, while its subscriber count stayed unchanged. It was a modest viewing week within its neighboring sports-channel group. Fellow climbing channel Anna Hazelnutt also had an unchanged subscriber count and a slightly larger weekly audience; Sky Sport NZ and FOX SPORTS AUSTRALIA each drew more than a million views.
Away from the trailer, Matt Segal's ascent in "Cheating Reality (5.14a R) - Devil's Thumb - Boulder, Colorado" continues to attract viewers nearly a year after publication. Directed by Jon Glassberg and produced by Louder Than 11, it follows a rare ascent of the traditional climb above Boulder. Colin Haley's separate Cerro Torre point-of-view clip is active too, taking the camera into a natural wind tunnel in the mountain's rime ice.
