About the films:
Dosage Vol 4
Big Up's Dosage series is the definitive annual portrait of climbing's state-of-the-art. Volume IV follows the biggest names in sport climbing, trad climbing, and bouldering as they make historic ascents at spectacular locations around the world. Highlights include: Tommy Caldwell's marathon El Capitan linkup, free climbing both The Nose (5.14a) and Freerider (5.12d) in under 24 hours; Chris Sharma's first ascent of Dreamcatcher (5.14d) in Squamish, BC; Dave Graham's first ascent of Coup De Grace (5.15a) in Ticino, Switzerland; Lisa Rands’ first female ascents of scary grit routes in England's Peak District; Sharma and Graham opening a new level of hard bouldering in Hueco Tanks, Texas; and much more.
Director Josh Lowell is a leading creator of climbing films. His company, Big Up Productions (www.bigUPproductions.com), has released seven films, including the top-selling titles in the industry. Lowell has worked extensively with the legendary climber Chris Sharma for years. His Dosage Volume II was the winner of six international film festival awards and was featured in Sports Illustrated and National Public Radio.
First Ascent features today’s top rock climbers as they lay siege to steep faces and soaring alpine walls in pursuit of climbing’s pinnacle achievement – the First Ascent.
The film takes us on a globe-trotting journey from the high Himalayan peaks to “deep water soloing” on the coast of Thailand, and from the sobering heights of the Black Canyon to Timmy “Urban Ape” O’Neill’s monkey business on the buildings of Hollywood – a globe-trotting journey to capture the hopes, fears, and truly radical feats of men and women on climbing’s cutting edge.
A preview segment from First Ascent premiered in January, 2006 at the Barry Corbett Film Festival in Jackson, WY, winning the festival’s Audience Award and its Grand Prize. The segment also won awards at Telluride Mountain Film and the Boulder Adventure Film Festival.

Just a comment on last night's premiere of 'Dosage Vol 4' and 'First Ascent '. Inspiring movies (especially Ascent) - Hats (and helmets) off to the producers that left us climbing our in seats and screamin' for more.
Couldn't have thought of a better way to spend that rainy afternoon (no climbing outside). Copious amounts of tap beverages and schwag gear was also very appreciated ~ thanks sponsors.. :D
Personal thank you to Peter M. for bringing back one of my favorite 'Crack Addicts' - Didier Berthod. I hope your knee gets better Didier. Some of us may have joined your learning x-perience there at the Cobra. ~ Lisa Rands, I wish your clip was 'much-much' longer - never get enough of watching your style.
Big thanks also to the incredibly funny Timmy-O. What a hoot in your Green Flash-o'-dy-na-mo' suit. Made my day & nite..! :lol:
Cheers ~ Mtngrrl

Schwagg beta -- Get there early for prime seating. If they have any down vests or soft (unwrapped) t-shirt or hat items, they didn't seem to travel far. Bring a rubberband if your into posters.
Boulder was a Sell-Out...Have fun..!!
