Uncharted Lines
Every climbing reward comes at the cost of a potential risk, but when you are a climbing pioneer, driven by the unknown and unexpected, you are willing to risk whatever it takes for the chance to find the perfect first ascent line. This is a story of exploration and discovery, a journey of friendship and solitude, a quest to fuel an obsessive passion. Starring Paul Robinson, Jimmy Webb, Daniel Woods, Chris Sharma and Niky Ceria. Told through five separate stories, Paul Robinson is the common thread that links each story together. He battles adversity in Russia, is overwhelmed by rock in the southeastern United States, builds new friendships in Spain, finds the Shangri-La of bouldering in Zimbabwe, and finally returns back home to the Rocky Mountains where he reawakens his appreciation for his local bouldering.
