Every fall the REEL ROCK Film Tour brings the year's most exciting new climbing films to live audiences around the world. For 2010, the tour features six amazing short films, with stories from the cutting edge of alpine climbing, bouldering, sport climbing, and traditional climbing.

MUGA

In MUGA, world-renowned climber Ashima Shiraishi steps into the ancient granite of Switzerland’s Ticino Valley, where every hold and ripple in the rock tells a story millions of years in the making. As the boundaries between self and stone dissolve, she enters muga—a liminal state free from attachment, expectation, and desire. Here she finds the space not just to climb, but simply to be.
