Danyl Boldyrev

Immerse yourself in four gripping new climbing films from across the globe: a visionary first ascent on Japan’s mythical Mt. Mizugaki; a climbing community held together in war-torn Ukraine; a treacherous free ascent of Jirishanca in the Peruvian Andes; and an exploration of Mallorca’s deep-water soloing.

Climbing journalist Matt Groom journeys deep into war-torn Ukraine to discover a community held together by climbing and patriotism, but indelibly changed by war.

This compelling documentary follows the journey of Danyl Boldyrev, a determined Ukrainian speed climber forced to leave his native Donetsk amidst conflict. Despite the challenges of separation from his family and coach, Boldyrev remains steadfast in his pursuit of a long-held dream: representing his country on the Olympic stage. Through resilience and unwavering dedication, he strives to overcome adversity and achieve his ultimate goal.
