Vertical Frontier (DVD)

From John Muir in the 1860s to the super athletes of today , Vertical Frontier
is the character-driven story of the art, sport and philosophy of climbing the
legendary big walls of Yosemite.
Illustrated by spectacular old and new footage shot on those granite walls,
the story is told by the climbers. Their ranks include David Brower, Royal
Robbins, Yvon Chouinard, Jim Bridwell, Lynn Hill, Hans Florine, Dean Potter
and many more. They climb with artistry and sheer determination. They hold a
strong attachment to the climbing traditions established in the Valley and a
deep respect for the climbers that created them and went on to influence
climbing and mountaineering worldwide. DVD, 90 min.
