Description
This film deals with the fascinating personalities who mark the micro-cosmos of the climbing scenery in Galicia in northern Spain. Together with local people, three friends from Graz explore various boulder areas along the Costa da Morte and in the Lugo Province. It turns out, that in Galicia one follows the same rules and ethic principles as in Styria. First ascents, repetitions or the attempt, to define conventions are part of a global process and treated in a great number of blogs, in social networks or in video clips. The Internet is a medium for all those developments, and at the same time it is also a parable for bouldering itself, because after first ascents there develop new contents which are transmitted via different types of communication.
