Paul Robinson Bouldering in Australia 1/2

Paul Robinson had a very productive trip to Australia the past season. He managed to climb many of the hard established lines but also had time to develop a new sector with Jimmy Webb and film a section for his new film, Uncharted Lines. Paul, tell us more about the film project. The idea all started a few years ago. I have always dreamed of climbing in new remote locations all over the world. Film is my creative outlet and I love working on projects where I can film and climb with my friends. It has been a few years since my last big film project and I hope this one is going to blow people away and be the best yet. We have high hopes for the project and with the crew involved and sponsors backing the film, I cannot wait to see what comes of it! Where are you planning to climb and film for this project? We started filming in Australia and then soon after moved to Russia, which proved to shut us out quickly with an epic snow storm. Our next stop is a new area in the South East with Jimmy Webb. From there we will highlight the new zone in Zimbabwe we discovered last season as well as some high altitude bouldering/sport climbing in Argentina and a new bouldering destination in Spain. When can we expect the film to be done? This is going to be a big project that requires a lot of time to be at each area at the optimal time of year. The goal now is to be done in about 1.5 years and to premiere the film in Boulder, CO. In the meantime, make sure to check out Uncharted Lines on Instagram for updates. Check out the first of Paul's two videos of some of his hard repeats in Australia:
