Crackoholic(2010)

A story about passion

Crackoholic is a climbing documentary that traces the history of Bohuslän, a granite region on Sweden's west coast. Directors Jonas Paulsson and Mikael Widerberg blend archival footage with interviews from pioneering climbers who shaped the area's development over decades, exploring how attitudes toward difficulty and risk have evolved. The film captures conversations ranging from philosophical to conventional, alongside footage of ascents spanning moderate climbs to cutting-edge first ascents. Like the classic Hard Grit, Crackoholic grounds its climbing sequences in historical context, offering both technical insight and personal perspective on the sport's progression in one of Europe's most influential climbing destinations.
