Since 2010, the Caltech Alpine Club has hosted Reel Rock -- an annual film tour featuring the world's best climbing films. Learn more about Reel Rock here.
The Alpine Club typically hosts Reel Rock each January on Caltech's campus.

We hosted the 2022/23 Reel Rock 16 Film Tour in October, 2022 and it was a huge success - thanks to everyone who came out!
Since 2001, Caltech's Alpine Club has been a proud host of the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour. Stopping at over 550 locations in 40 countries around the globe, the Tour celebrates the best films shown at the annual Festival in Banff, Alberta, Canada--one of the premier exhibitions of films about mountain and outdoor culture in the world. Each year, the Banff World Tour features epic films about skiing, running, mountain biking, rock climbing, surfing, base jumping, environmentalism, and more!
