Reel Rock 20 at Luna Leederville
Reel Rock 20 brings four new climbing films to the big screen: Janja Garnbret, Michaela Kiersch, Colin Haley and Ben Mayforth.
CAWA is MCing the Leederville screening. Come along, catch up with your climbing friends and say hi.
Reel Rock is the world's leading climbing film tour. It was founded in the US in 2005 by filmmakers Josh Lowell, Peter Mortimer and Nick Rosen, the team behind the documentaries Valley Uprising, The Dawn Wall and The Alpinist. Every year they put together a new collection of the best climbing films from around the world and take it on tour, so climbers can watch these stories the way they were meant to be seen: on the big screen, surrounded by their own community.
2026 is Reel Rock's 20th edition. Twenty years on, the tour screens across North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and it has become a fixture of the Perth climbing calendar. CAWA has been gathering climbers for Reel Rock nights in Perth since at least 2011.
This year's program covers elite sport climbing, bouldering, winter alpinism and adaptive climbing, with four films following Janja Garnbret, Michaela Kiersch, Colin Haley and Ben Mayforth (see the film lineup below). The night runs about 150 minutes, including an interval and a prize giving. Reel Rock 20 is presented in Australia by Adventure Entertainment.

Film Lineup
Janja Garnbret
Two Olympic golds, one legendary climb
Two-time Olympic champion Janja Garnbret leaves the competition wall behind for Bibliographie (9b+/5.15c) in Céüse, France, one of the hardest sport climbs in the world. Away from the controlled world of competition, it takes a different kind of strength, patience and persistence.
Michaela Kiersch
Chasing the ultimate double
Michaela Kiersch sets out to become the first woman to climb both 5.15 sport and V15 boulder. From La Rambla in Spain to Dreamtime in Switzerland, she pushes the limits of two very different disciplines.
Colin Haley
Alone on Cerro Torre in winter
Elite alpinist Colin Haley attempts a winter solo of Cerro Torre, one of Patagonia's most iconic and unforgiving peaks. Extreme cold, unpredictable weather and nobody else on the mountain: speed, commitment and survival are inseparable.
Ben Mayforth
Redefining adaptive climbing
Born with spina bifida, adaptive climber Ben Mayforth has built his own style of climbing on strength, creativity and stubbornness. Here he sets his sights on 5.13, a grade that tests everything he has.
