Watch the new Arc'teryx film following elite climber Nina Caprez's Moroccan adventure
Elite climber Nina Caprez, an Arc'teryx sponsored athlete, has unveiled her new film: Andrea: an Unpaved Route. A story of motherhood, adversity, community and an uncompromising approach to adventure as a parent, it's an inspiring and deeply moving watch.
In the film, Nina, a decorated sport and big wall climber, along with her partner Jérémy Bernard and their daughter Lia, set out on a journey across Morocco. They drive through the country in Andrea, their personalized Unimog four-wheel drive truck and the centerpiece of a non-profit project to bring adventure to local communities. The truck comes complete with solar panels and an in-built climbing wall.
En route, they visit some beautifully remote and wild climbing spots, where Nina explores what it is to be a climber and a mother, connecting with other women along the way. It's a hopeful study in how adventure can be redefined as a parent and how relationships and communities can be forged through climbing, even in tough times.
In its early part, the film documents the circumstances surrounding the arrival of Nina's daughter Lia, who was born with a heart defect: a deformed aortic valve. "The world collapsed around us," says Nina in the film. Lia's subsequent recovery after surgery provides the springboard for their family adventure to Morocco and sets the emotional tone of the film.
Once in Morocco, a catastrophe strikes, putting the strength of their Andrea project to the test, as they seek to provide assistance in the aftermath.
Nina is a Swiss professional climber and Arc'teryx sponsored athlete who has conquered routes around the world, from classics on Oregon's Smith Rock to big walls in Patagonia and Kyrgyzstan. As one of the world's leading big wall and sport climbers, she has numerous first ascents to her name, including the first female ascents of El Niño (5.13c, 8a+) in Yosemite and of Merci la vie (also 5.13c, 8a+) on the famous North Face of the Eiger.
She and partner Jérémy Bernard, an extreme sports photographer, have forged a life together where they can continue to follow their passions.

It looked normal at first, but Helldivers 2's new Major Order snuck in a big surprise: "Hulks can jump! I repeat, HULK CAN JUMP NOW!"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. If you've not fought Heldivers 2's Automatons in a while, then I'm afraid I've got some terrible news for you. They've just launched a surprise attack and the Hulks can fly now. This is not a drill. The newest Major Order is all about tackling the "large-scale, coordinated Automaton offensive" that has "launched without warning." We may have repelled the Illuminate invasion and saved Super Earth, but our enemies are still numerous. A video posted to the official Helldivers 2 Twitter account shows a Hulk propelling itself skyward before levelling its flamethrower at the brave camera operator. I hoped it was a false alarm, but players on Reddit actually began reporting these new threats hours before the video went up. "Hulks can jump! I repeat, HULK CAN JUMP NOW!" writes one terrified, I mean valiant, Helldiver. Their video shows a Hulk leaping an impressive distance, closing the gap between them very quickly. It's almost like it was showing off to the Helldiver (who was using a jetpack) that it had one too. Hulks can jump! I repeat, HULK CAN JUMP NOW! from r/Helldivers Hulks were never slow, despite their size, and this newfound mobility just makes them even more deadly. "This is 100% real, I just checked it myself in game," one person corroborates. "The Jet Brigade got sick of people mocking it and decided to bring out the fuck you 2000," adds another. The Jet Brigade is an Automaton faction that sports jetpacks for advanced aerial maneuvers, but they've never managed to equip a Hulk with one – until now. "Bots went full Titanfall on us," writes a Redditor with exceptionally good taste, if I do say so myself. So, if you've been on shore leave since doing your tour of Super Earth, get ready to suit up and drop in, Helldiver, you're needed on the frontlines. Or, you could go AWOL and check out our list of the best online games you can play with your friends instead. You will be branded a traitor, though.

Ottolinger Berlin Spring 2026 Collection
Home team, come on through! Ottolinger's Christa Bösch and Cosima Gadient might both be Swiss, but their hearts and heads reside (quite literally) in Berlin. And finally, after years of showing in Paris, they staged their first-ever show in their adoptive city, just in time for their 10th anniversary. 'We've learned that it's easier to do a show in the place you actually live, where your studio is,' said Gadient, laughing. Unsurprisingly, there was quite the crowd in the house to support them, with the Ottolingers presenting at the Palais am Funktrum, the final show of the day in the Intervention day of shows curated by creative and communications agency Reference Studios. And the minute Kim Petras did a swaggering stomp of a walk around the snaking runway to get the proceedings going, dressed in a shrunken print sweater and a shrunken pair of shorts, accessorized with visor-like shades on her face, and knit leather booties strapped onto tottering curved wooden chopine heels, we were off to a flying start. This was a good collection from Ottolinger, strong on conviction; since it started, the label had this unbreakable alliance with young women that Ottolinger is a safe space for them, where you can look as cool/hot/unvarnishedly yourself as much as you want. This time round, the collection was a celebration of big sisterhood, how, said Gadient, 'we are both big sisters and we love being that role model; showing you how not to fail, because we already failed for you; that we're here to support you in all that you do to succeed. So the clothes are playful, freer.' That's the connecting part. The clothing part was a reminder of how much they've established their own look, and followed the beat of their own drum, this past decade. That means messed up, conceptualized denim, perhaps slicked up and sliced apart, or artisanal knits patched and pieced together, or sportif pieces, where athleticism (hoodies, track pants) are given a sharp, generationally appropriate jolt of sexiness. With this collection's tough weathered leather blousons swinging away from the body, and the billowing skirts that look like they'd started life as anoraks, as well as outdoors-y shoulder-strapped utility jackets that actually could be anoraks, not to mention tough-luxe bags such as the capacious shoulder purse suspended from a strap akin to a studded punky belt (Gadient and Bösch have a sharp eye for original-looking accessories), the general effect was as if a Berghain clubber had come out blinking into the blinding daylight, and headed off into the countryside, but without bothering to change their clothes. 'We had wanted to bring back our crafty side,' said Bösch of the collection's vibe. 'So there's more texture, more deconstruction.' There was also the first glimpse—a tease, they called it—of their Nike collaboration, which will likely land in 2026. Take a look at their swoosh-emblazoned micro sports bras and cut-out bodysuits, and consider yourself teased.

Ranking five Eagles' rookies by potential impact in 2025
With the Eagles' training camp report date just 20 days away, we're ranking the Birds' rookies by potential impact in 2025. The Philadelphia Eagles added 10 draft picks to their roster in this year's NFL draft, landing the versatile Jihaad Campbell near the end of Round 1 and Andrew Mukuba in Round 2. Eagles GM Howie Roseman added two dynamic SEC linebackers, an All-American pass rusher, three offensive linemen, and an accomplished quarterback from Philadelphia. We won't know the actual impact of this year's class until these players hit the field and have time to develop, but on paper, it does appear that Roseman has maintained and created another Super Bowl window. The most significant indicator of draft success is immediate impact. With the Eagles' training camp report date just 20 days away, we're ranking the Birds' rookies by potential impact in 2025. 1. DB Andrew Mukuba The 64th pick in the NFL draft, Mukuba is versatile enough to hit the ground running at the safety position in place of the departed C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Mukuba should showcase his skills by displaying elite versatility at all three levels, while presenting a more hybrid and athletic model. According to Pro Football Focus, Mukuba earned an excellent grade in coverage (89.7). He forced an incompletion on 26.1% of his targets and allowed a 12.1 passer rating last season in coverage. 2. OLB Jihaad Campbell The 31st pick in the draft will begin practicing with the team in August when he's cleared to return from shoulder surgery, and he will start off playing the inside linebacker position. Campbell has been lauded for his pass-rush prowess, but his ability at linebacker and his penchant for bringing the ball carrier down are the most exciting aspects of his game. Pro Football Focus said Campbell amassed a 5.9% missed tackle rate, totaling 30 coverage stops. 3. DT Ty Robinson A physical specimen with a high motor, Robinson will complement Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, and Moro Ojomo on the interior. Robinson's 15 tackles for loss in 2024 were the most by a Nebraska player since Ndamukong Suh in 2009, and he ran the fastest 40-yard dash among defensive tackles (4.83 seconds) at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. 4. CB Mac McWilliams Mukuba and McWilliams give Philadelphia's defensive coordinator plenty of options with several Swiss army knives at his disposal. According to PFF, McWilliams allowed just 21 catches for 133 yards on 38 throws into his coverage radius last season. 5. LB Smael Mondon Jr. Mondon logged first-team reps during the off-season program, and Like Campbell, the former Georgia linebacker is an elite tackler with a 7.8% missed tackle rate at Georgia.
