One of the best all round climbers in the world is on a mission – to take rock
climbing to new levels of both difficulty and danger.
Dave MacLeod attempts to be the first to climb `Rhapsody`, the hardest
traditional rock climb ever and the first to achieve the grade of E11 7a (trad
f8c+ US 5.14c).
This film enters uncharted territory. Taking you beyond the action it reveals
the frustrations and the shear physical and mental effort that goes into
climbing at the very highest level. We see MacLeod take a series of
terrifying, massive, gut- wrenching falls and the strain begins to show. He
struggles to cope with the difficulty and seriousness of the endeavour. But
doggedly, even obsessively he keeps returning to his ultimate project –
RHAPSODY.
