MOVE – Feel the Dolomites, the Climbingfestival MOVE – Feel the Dolomites, the Climbingfestival from 23rd to 27th July 2014 Outdoor. A new concept which has been on the rise in the last years, managing to become a strong trend in the process. It inspires people to do sport outside, go on an adventure in the unspoilt wilderness, still untouched by mankind. Some would even venture to say that Val Gardena, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was created for the sole purpose of providing a fitting landscape for outdoor activities. In fact, outdoor activities have always been part of this wild valley. MOVE- Feel the Dolomites is the slogan for ‘Outdoor in Val Gardena’. A paradise for excursions, climbing, trail running and mountain biking during summer, giving way to skiing, cross-country skiing, ski touring, snow shoe excursions and ice climbing in winter. You can’ get more outdoor than this, surrounded by the breathtaking view of the Dolomites. Climbing-MOVE runs from 23 until 27 July 2014 and kickstarts the season with many more outdoor activities to come throughout the year. Sport climbing, rock climbing, bouldering and slacklining: Val Gardena would like to invite both amateurs and professionals to take part in this Climbing-MOVE initiative in our Dolomites holiday valley. These camps are intended for both the uninitiated and seasoned climbers. the proposed activities will teach beginners the fundamentals of climbing and help everyone else perfect their technique and improve their resistance. It will also be an opportunity for different outdoor brands to showcase their new equipment and clothing and, of course, for you to try them out to your heart’s content. Val Gardena would like to invite you, with the support of the ‘Catores’ Mountain School and the Mountain Guide Association of Val Gardena, the Amateur Sport Clubs ‘ASK’ and ‘GAG’, to go on an adventure in the UNESCO World Heritage Site which is the Dolomites. Come and climb or boulder with us!

The French often refer to France as L'Hexagone (The "Hexagon") because of its geometric shape. Outside of Europe, France also includes various overseas territories and departments such as Martinique and French Guiana. France is the oldest unified state in Europe, and Paris has been its capital since 500 AD. It is bordered by Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Monaco, Andorra, and Spain and also linked to the United Kingdom by the Channel Tunnel, which passes underneath the English Channel. The French Republic is a democracy organized as a unitary semi-presidential republic. Its main ideals are expressed in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. In the 18th and 19th centuries, France built one of the largest colonial empires of the time, stretching across West Africa and Southeast Asia, prominently influencing the cultures and politics of the regions. France is a developed country, with one of the world’s largest economies. It is also one of the most visited countries in the world, receiving over 79 million foreign tourists annually.

  • The Alpinist Production Notes
    Present Directed by Peter Mortimer and Nick Rosen Produced by Mike Negri, Clark Fyans and Ben Bryan Starring Marc-André Leclerc, Brette Harrington, Alex Honnold, Reinhold Messner, Barry Blanchard Running Time: 93 min. Roadside Attractions Contacts: David Pollick | Ronit Vanderlinden [email protected] | [email protected] 323-882-8490 New York Publicity Contacts: Lauren Schwartz [email protected] 646-384-4694 Los Angeles Publicity Contacts: Michael Aaron Lawson, Inc. Michael Lawson [email protected] 213-280-2274 For publicity materials please visit: https://roadsideattractionspublicity.com/filmography/the-alpinist/ For downloadable trailer and clips please visit: www.epk.tv SYNOPSIS As the sport of climbing turns from a niche pursuit to mainstream media event, Marc-André Leclerc climbs alone, far from the limelight. On remote alpine faces, the free-spirited 23-year-old makes some of the boldest solo ascents in history. Yet, he draws scant attention. With no cameras, no rope, and no margin for error, Marc-André’s approach is the essence of solo adventure. Intrigued by these quiet accomplishments, veteran filmmaker Peter Mortimer (The Dawn Wall) sets out to make a film about Marc-André. But the Canadian soloist is an elusive subject: nomadic and publicity shy, he doesn’t own a phone or car, and is reluctant to let the film crew in on his pure vision of climbing. As Peter struggles to keep up, Marc-Andrés climbs grow bigger and more daring. Elite climbers are amazed by his accomplishments, while others worry that he is risking too much. Then, Marc-André embarks on a historic adventure in Patagonia that will redefine what is possible in solo climbing.

We picked up a couple extra members and in 2014, we traveled to Iran to join our Iranian teammates. During that 3 week trip, we established new highlines with the Iran Slackline team and hosted the first Iranian International Highline Festival, in collaboration with the Iranian Mountaineering Federation. We’re planning a return trip to Iran for October 2017 and making arrangements to bring the Iranian team to the U.S. to highline in Yosemite and Moab, the places where highlining was born and evolved. Now we’re working with an amazing production company to share our story (Wingate Motion). Sports offers a unique medium for communication; adventure sports even more so. There is art in what we do.
