Wide Boyz Trailer (2012)

Trailer for Wide Boyz.

This film features bloody knuckles, all-out grunt sessions and willful participation in pain. Welcome to the world of off-width crack climbing, a sub-genre that attracts a rare breed willing to jam elbows, knees, torsos — whatever it takes, really—into large cracks for climbing ascents. It’s painful, tough and occasionally downright awful. But two British climbers, Pete Whittaker and Tom Randall, love it. WideBoyz follows the off-width-obsessed pair as they undertake an insane two-year training regime—most of it spent hanging upside down in the “dungeon of doom” they set up in Whittaker’s basement—in preparation for a trip to the holy land of off-widths: the American West. After touring some of the country’s best known big cracks—and ticking them off with impressive swiftness—they head to the ultimate test. The Century Crack, 120 feet of overhanging off-width in the Canyonlands of Utah, is considered the world’s hardest off-width. After dreaming about the first ascent of it for years, the British duo finally gets a shot at this beautiful, hellish crack.
