Valley Uprising

An insightful feel-good documentary about badass climbing legends, starting from the first explorers up until modern day free solo maniacs. The film features lots of beautiful scenery (obviously), some good animations, a well explained story about climbing rivalry over the decades and in general just lots of anti-establishment fun. I'm not into the climbing scene and I have never climbed in my life, but the adventure and adrenaline is awe-inspiring.

I expected to kind of hate this, as I react allergically to documentaries about people celebrating themselves. And these guys are definitely those types -- utterly convinced about how "special" they are. But the stories are so interesting, and the style of the documentary is so well done, I ended up loving it. These climbers actually are the bad-asses they believe they are, and their accomplishments are amazing.

A documentary about the cultural struggles between the yosemites and the antisemites or something like that. Well assembled story, good watch.

Very enjoyable history of Yosemite and rock climbing's ascent (sorry) into the increasingly popular extreme sport that it is today. I love its presentation through footage, photographs and narrated by the climbers interviews. It's seamless and rips through the decades with ease.
