Fall Theory

Franco Cookson burst onto the climbing scene over 10 years ago and has been leaving an indelible mark ever since. His early career in particular played out in an unusually public manner on the UK’s climbing forums, where his hard and bold first ascents on his home ground of the North York Moors would often receive skeptical analysis. The film follows the notorious Franco on his latest journey to climb an even harder line where the weight of previous successes hangs heavily on his mind.
