This Reel Rock Film Tour feature-length documentary follows the history of Yosemite, from its golden age in the 1950s and ’60s to the groundbreaking ascents and solos happening there now.
Check out the trailer here (Disclaimer: watching it just might make you want to drop out of school and live at Camp 4): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o86TpaSBcWw
OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION: “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 the riveting, unforgettable tale of this bold tradition: half a century of struggle against the laws of gravity — and the laws of the land.”
For non-student grown-ups, tickets are $16.50 and can be purchased online here: http://charlottesville.theparamount.net/single/SelectSeating.aspx?p=766
