Once again, Masters of Stone breaks through to the cutting edge of the sport. Harder, Faster, Bolder, Newer, and more...six points of breakthrough in all.... where human edges toward the superhuman.

Yuji Hirayama and American Hans Florine set a new speed record on the Nose of El Capitan in Yosemite, stretching their lead-outs by 60, 80, even 150 feet at a time as the crowd screams, "GO!" from below. This is the Super Bowl, Olympics, and Boston Marathon of rock climbing, all rolled into one.

Kevin Jorgeson puts up one of the most beautiful highball boulder problems in the world at Lake Tahoe, California. Sean Jones adds a new inspiration rating to his first ascents on Half Dome and Ribbon Falls. BASE jumping way too close to the ground, Parkour on rock, serious free-soloing, amputee 5.13, roped free-falling and many more breakthroughs...

More than any other sport, rock climbing continually redefines its rules and resets its limits. Yesterday's "impossible," becomes today's warm-up as advances in mental and physical mastery combine to break new ground. Every few years the MASTERS OF STONE series delivers a new episode that captures these breakthroughs in a tasty mix of music, character, commentary, and above all, visual action.
