A rich and compelling saga of the free-spirited climbers whose contributions allowed them to be the first to conquer the legendary walls of Yosemite.

  • Color DVD; approximate running time 90 minutes; narrated by Tom Brokaw
  • A Kristi Denton Cohen/Peloton Productions film in association with Sierra Club Productions; copyright 2002
  • Winner of best film on climbing at 2002 Banff Mountain Film Fesitval

Illustrated by spectacular old and new footage shot on those granite walls, the story is told by the climbers whose artistry and sheer determination allowed them to launch a sport now enjoyed by millions throughout the world. Their ranks include David Brower, Warren Harding, Royal Robbins, Yvon Chouinard, Tom Frost, Jim Bridwell, Lynn Hill, Hans Florine, Dean Potter and many more. Their epic endeavors range from the first siege ascent of El Capitan, which took 45 days spread over a year and a half, to today's speed climbers who conquer the same route in under three hours.

Made in USA.
