this was really stupid

By Howard the Hiker

from Oregon

About Me Competitive Athlete

Pros

  • Urban ape was funny

Cons

  • All around dumb movie
  • Poor Commentary

Best Uses

    Comments about First Ascent - DVD:

    If you wanna watch some good climbing then watch Rampage or Kinglines. If you wanna watch people doing dangerous but cool climbs then you should watch sharps end. Those three movies were much more interesting and put together better. This movie has dumb quotes and the first ascent all the climbers are going for is overrated.

        Great film, I've seen a lot of climbing films and I gotta say this is probably the best I've seen so far! Great history of "First Ascent" as well!

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
