Ian (2024)
"IAN" is a powerful short film that chronicles the incredible journey of Ian Elliott, a 72-year-old Australian rockclimber who defies conventional limits of aging. Having only discovered climbing in his mid-fifties, Ian accomplished his hardest climb, a grade 28 (7c/5.12d), just before turning 70—an achievement that astonished the climbing community worldwide. His story showcases more than just technical skill and physical strength; it highlights the boundless human spirit and the possibility of thriving with age. "IAN" challenges preconceived notions about getting older, inspiring climbers and non-climbers alike to pursue their passions and push their boundaries, regardless of age
