Every climbing reward comes at the cost of a potential risk, but when you are a climbing pioneer, driven by the unknown and unexpected, you are willing to risk whatever it takes for the chance to find the perfect first ascent line. This is a story of exploration and discovery, a journey of friendship and solitude, a quest to fuel an obsessive passion. Starring Paul Robinson, Jimmy Webb, Daniel Woods, Chris Sharma and Niky Ceria.

Paul Robinson returns to Cape Town, South Africa to show his friends Carlo Traversi and Ashima Shiraishi the boulders he discovered on previous trips. Carlo repeats some of Paul's hardest lines from the last season and Ashima sets new standards for women's bouldering world wide. The crew also discovers and explores the vast, untapped potential for bouldering on the Cape of South Africa with numerous first ascents of all difficulties.

The Schengen Files is a film about Paul Robinson's most recent trip to Europe. During the first three months of 2011, Paul was fortunate enough to climb in both Fontainbleau, France and Ticino, Switzerland. This video documents some of the hardest climbs he accomplished during the three month period. The Schengen Files is about the purity of climbing, the high level of psyche that Paul Robinson brings to the boulders and the truly magnificent climbing within the confines of the Schengen Union. At 21 minutes, the video isn't very long, but on the other hand the list of hard problems is.
