Best of the West

About This Movie

So, 'Best of the West' is this raw documentary that captures a brief slice of climbing culture and camaraderie. You have Boone Speed, Chris Sharma, and Nate Gold, who find themselves with a two-week window after a canceled trip to New Zealand. The atmosphere is laid-back yet intense, a mix of nostalgia and the thrill of returning to Hueco Tanks after a long absence. The film isn't just about the climbs; it’s about the conversations, the banter, and the way these climbers navigate their lives. Sharma, bulked up but still full of energy, adds a unique twist to their dynamic. It's a solid portrayal of those who live for the sport and the bonds that develop in the process.
