Valley Uprising

Himself

En los sombríos campamentos del valle de Yosemite, los alpinistas crearon un estilo de vida contracultural de beatniks vagabundos y fiestas salvajes que chocaba con los valores conservadores del Servicio de Parques Nacionales. Y en las paredes, generación tras generación han superado los límites de la escalada, compitiendo entre sí por la supremacía en los acantilados de Yosemite. "Valley Uprising" es la historia fascinante e inolvidable de esta atrevida tradición de escalada en roca en el Parque Nacional de Yosemite: medio siglo de lucha contra las leyes de la gravedad y las leyes de la tierra.

Bachar: Man, Myth, Legend

himself

In every sport there are men, myths and legends. In the world of rock climbing, there is only one name -- John Bachar. Controversial and uncompromising, Bachar pushed the boundaries of what was possible and raised the world's standards at a time when climbers merely pursued the physical in climbing. A true rock star, he soloed 5.11 when 5.12 didn't exist, created the first 5.12 in Yosemite Valley, bouldered harder, climbed stronger, and refused to compromise his ethics along the way. Then, at the height of his fame, he disappeared. This is his story. This is the latest climbing DVD release from director/producer Michael Reardon. This is a first hand account of John Bachar and his free soloing (no rope) mastery during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Featuring interviews with Royal Robbins, Peter Croft, John Long and John Gill, the film contains footage of Bachar soloing some of the hardest climbs of their time in Germany, Spain, and his home stomping grounds of Yosemite Valley.

Original Concept

Gabe Walker, un alpinista dedicado al rescate de alta montaña, todavía no ha superado la muerte de su compañera en una caída al vacío un año atrás. Ahora le piden que vuelva a la misma montaña de la tragedia para rescatar a un grupo de personas extraviadas. Lo que Gabe desconoce es que se trata de peligrosos delincuentes que acaban de perpetrar un asalto a un avión para hacerse con un botín de cien millones de dólares.
