Keep It Real 2 captures a side of bouldering that you’d be forgiven for forgetting. As climbing culture grows increasingly obsessed with grades and performance, this film reminds us that bouldering is so much more. Set in the storied forest of Fontainebleau, a crew of high-end competition climbers seek respite from the pressure to perform, catch a vibe, and keep it real.

When was this filmed???
The first KIR felt as if I was watching an instagram video due to it's incredibly fast editing, music, and overall energy, regardless it's still one of my favourite videos of all time. However, KIR2 found the balance between climbing, DNB, community, and everything else, and I felt that I could take my time and enjoy this video on a whole new level. Well done Rene and Gregoire, and everyone else who worked on/in this video, it was well worth the wait and no doubt will I be rewatching this a myriad.
does someone know what cameras they use?
