BD athlete Paul Robinson bouldering 8B+ and 8C first ascents near Cape Town, South Africa

Robinson had the cameras rolling on all his major 8b+ and 8C first ascents and has edited together this epic film of the footage. There's some seriously impressive climbing in the film, along with some insightful commentary from Robinson, so sit back, get comfortable and enjoy watching one of the world's top boulderers crush his craft.

Paul Robinson: The Schengen Files

Paul Robinson: The Schengen Files from Prana Living on Vimeo.

The Schengen Files is a movie about my most recent trip to Europe. During the first three months of 2011 I was fortunate enough to climb in both Fontainbleau, France and Ticino, Switzerland. This video will document some of the hardest climbs I accomplished during the three month period. The video is planned to premiere later this Summer after it has been edited all together. This video is about the purity of climbing, the high level of psyche that I have for climbing at my limit, as well as the amazing rock that these areas have. This film was shot to document some of the hardest climbs I have ever done and to show my perceptions of the truly magnificent climbing within the confines of the Schengen Union.

Stay tuned for more updates and enjoy!
