During a four month stay in Europe this year, Les Warnock and Alex Savage lived in Bellinzona, Switzerland for five weeks to explore the bouldering of Ticino which is home to some of the finest granite blocs in the world. Check out our adventures as we see what the bouldering of Ticino is all about. This short film (16 min) features everything from 8B boulder problems to the tallest unguided bungee jump in the world! Hope you enjoy it and please let me know what you think!

P.S. What was this shot on?
Thanks Max!! It was shot on a Panasonic GH1 dslr.
Phenomenal video guys, well done. Sick work on VL!
sweet man
Super rad video! Got me super psyched to head to the gym and train for all my projects. Hope your back is feeling better.
Amazing video Alex, Good work on Vecchione leone
WOW what a video. Im really impressed. this video has almost single handedly made me want to go to switzerland much earlier than i thought. Ive always thought Vecchio Leone looked like one of the best boulders in the world, and it was nice to see a new side of it from the dosage 3 footage of dave.
great climbing, great angles, great edit, great music.
nice effort alex.

Great video! Loved the angles, the music, the opening scenery, the background in the first boulderscene, the static zoom-ins on “arete with a pocket”, the 6-day project scene and all the inspiring climbing! Hope you’ll make many more!
