Boulder is always a packed house and a huge party. Pete and I will be there to introduce the films along with guests Tommy Caldwell, Dean Potter, Daniel Woods, and more of the climbers from the films.

The only issue we've had in putting together this year's program is how to pack it all in. We have by far the most varied line-up of films. Here is the complete rundown:

1. REEL ROCK Welcome Video: 2:00
Highlights from all the films to get the blood pumping.

2. REEL ROCK Filmmaking Competition Winners: 6:00
The best short films from upcoming filmmakers, as voted on reelrocktour.com.
At the Boulder show we will anounce the competition winners for the first time, and the winners will get huge prize packages from our sponsors.

3. Grand Canyon Walls: 10:00
Beth Rodden, Tommy Caldwell, and Chris McNamara spend three weeks rafting down the Grand Canyon, making first ascents along the way. Produced by Big UP and Sender.

4. On Sight: 8:00
An excerpt from Alastair Lee's new film about on sight climbing, featuring scary routes in the UK.

5. Aerialist: 10:00
An excerpt from the new film by Brad Lynch that follows Dean Potter on his many adventures.

6. South Africa: 14:00
Daniel Woods, Paul Robinson, and Tommy Caldwell on some of the world's hardest boulder problems in Rocklands, South Africa. Produced by Big UP

7. Intermission: 15:00
Schwag-o-rama, many great give-aways from our sponsors

8. The Sharp End: 55:00
The new feature from Sender Films is all about the danger zone - run-out routes, scary high-ball boulder problems, ice-covered alpine walls, and all- or-nothing free solo ascents.

Personally I'm excited to see our newest footage, the South Africa stuff, on the big screen. I spent two weeks shooting in Rocklands at the end of July, and Cooper Roberts and Andy Mann got a headstart, shooting an extra week before I arrived. The place is spectacularly beautiful and has the hardest, craziest boulders I've seen. Daniel and Paul were ripping as ever, repeating most of the good hard problems and putting up a bunch of their own. Tommy also showed he's not just a big-waller...Here's a list of the problems that are featured in the REEL ROCK cut:

Shoshaloza, V12, Paul
Pinotage, V10, Daniel
Sky, V14, first ascent, Daniel and Paul
Power of One, V13, second ascent, Daniel
Black Shadow, V13, Tommy
30's the new 20, V12, first ascent, Tommy
Derailed, V14, first ascent, Daniel
Brown Shadow, V11, first ascent, Daniel
Quintessential, V13, Paul
Amandla, V14, third ascent, Paul
El Corrazon, V13, first ascent, Daniel

Again, the problem here was how to squeeze it all in. We actually have so much more good footage than we could fit into the tour cut. The South Africa stuff will be part of a new feature we're working on for 2009, but for now you can see it a few weeks removed from real-time, only on the tour.

I'm also looking forward to Pete Mortimer and Nick Rosen's feature film, The Sharp End, as I haven't even seen it yet, but I've heard amazing things. I'm saving it for the premiere so I can experience it as fresh as the rest of the audience. One of the highlights is sure to be the footage of Dean Potter soloing the north face of The Eiger with only a BASE rig for protection. People have been speculating about doing that for a long time, and Dean is the first to pull it off, should be crazy to watch.

Last year in Boulder we turned away at least 150 people at the door, having packed the Boulder Theater to capacity. As of Monday morning there are still tickets at The Spot, Neptune Mountaineering, and Boulder Rock Club, so go pick those up and don't get shut out! See you there, or at the after-party, or up at the boulders the next two days!
