Valley Uprising – Yosemite’s Rock Climbing Revolution. A Sender Films
Production on the Reel Rock Tour.
Reel Rock 9: 2014 Film Tour

The greatest untold story of American counterculture is that of the Yosemite
Valley rock climbers. For the past fifty years, Yosemite’s massive cliffs have
drawn explorers and madmen to leave materialism behind and venture onto the
high, lonesome granite.

The larger-than-life characters of Yosemite carved out an ‹extreme bohemian›
lifestyle in the Valley, living on red wine and boiled potatoes, clashing with
National Park authorities, and pioneering the boldest climbs on Earth. The
torch has been passed down across three generations of climbers; through
rivalries, tragedies and triumphs, the art of Yosemite climbing has advanced
beyond anyone’s imagination.

Valley Uprising is Sender Films› magnum opus in the vertical realm, telling
the riveting, unforgettable tale of this bold tradition: half a century of
struggle against the laws of gravity – and the laws of the land.

Starring Dean Potter, Alex Honnold, Lynn Hill, Jim Bridwell, Royal Robbins,
