Found the trailer to the Specimen with Cedar Wright. Damn cool. Wish i could film like this. Apparently, it's been out for a close to a year!

About the movie:
A Film by Chuck Fryberger

Cedar Wright is on a quest to understand climbing's most mysterious dicipline: the ropeless art of bouldering. With difficult moves far above dangerous landings, bouldering is essentially gymnastics with consequences. As demanding as a routine on the rings or the parallel bars, bouldering tests the mind and body of its participants, and the athletes it attracts seek its unique blend of adrenaline and aesthetics.Through several conversations with some of the best athletes currently practicing the sport, Cedar gains insight into this unique lifestyle, and what it takes to do the impossible both on a rock and in life.

DOSAGE Vol 4 with El Capitan's The Nose (5.14a)

5.14a. you kidding me? $hite

The Dosage climbing film series is the most popular look at all forms of modern climbing, bouldering, trad or sport.

Dosage vol IV, the fourth climbing film in the series makes the greatest climbs of the year come alive before your eyes. Tommy Caldwell makes big wall freeclimbing history in Yosemite, with his linkup of El Capitan's The Nose (5.14a) and Freerider (5.12d), for 6,000 feet of climbing in under 24 hours. Dave Graham and Chris Sharma open impossible boulders in Ticino, Switzerland and Hueco Tanks, Texas, then focus their power on a new breed of hybrid sport routes, with the first ascents of Coup de Grace (5.15a, Ticino) and Dreamcatcher (5.14d, Squamish, BC). And Lisa Rands summons her strength and masters her fear on the first female ascent of the dangerous UK grit route Gaia (E8).
