FILM FESTIVAL
With sport climbing coming to the Olympics next year for the first time, there’s a growing fascination in those tenacious adventurers who cling to the merest dimple of a sheer rock face in a bid to make the summit. Get your (vicarious) fix at the Reel Rock 14 film festival, touring the UK and Ireland for four weeks from 28 October. Thrills here aren’t just edge-of-your-seat but tips-of-your-fingers, with cameras tracking climbers in Yosemite National Park, Antarctica, Jordan and Mongolia, among other destinations.
