Wall of Walls with Will Gadd
Ice climber Will Gadd has spent his life chasing the world’s wildest frozen walls, from Norway to Kilimanjaro. He has hung from waterfalls that collapse beneath him, led expeditions for National Geographic, and earned global recognition for feats that merge skill with survival instinct. Yet his latest discovery, a place he calls the Wall of Walls, was less than fifty kilometres from his home in Canmore.

“It’s the most full-on, intense, radical, complex, and cool climbing zone I’ve ever experienced,” Gadd said. “There are harder or longer routes out there, but none require the same education and wide skill set to succeed.”

Teeth to the Wind with Sam Hennessey
Before Michael Gardner’s death in Nepal in 2024, he and his climbing partner Sam Hennessey had started a film project about their friendship. Remarkable alpinists, but reluctant filmmakers, Teeth to the Wind realizes Gardner and Hennessey’s original vision: a joyful and unassuming glimpse at what they referred to as “the spirit.”
