Twice Upon A Time In Bolivia

Three no hopers from the UK';s grimmest corner (Burnley) set out for Bolivia';s Cordillera Real in search of 6000m glory. This hysterical journey begins with acclimatisation problems where one member of the team (Gaz Howell) turns into a Scouse Wookie whilst the others opt for the more tradition AMS. Stunning mountain routes (Pequena Alpamayo) take a side line to the hilarious English Northern dead pan humour which our team of lunatics use to overcome illness, frostbite and endless hours at base-camp. A ground breaking production on many fronts � being the first mountain film to be fully sub-titled "and" include science-fiction. Featuring run-away graphics and more Computer Generated Imagery than you can shake your wireless connection-free mouse at.

Bachar: Man, Myth, Legend

Bachar: Man, Myth, Legend is the latest release from acclaimed director/producer Michael Reardon. This film gives a first hand account about legendary rock climber, John Bachar, and his free soloing (no rope) mastery during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Featuring exclusive interviews with such legends as Royal Robbins, Peter Croft, John Long and John Gill, the film also contains never-before-seen photos and footage of Bachar soloing some of the hardest climbs of their time in Germany, Spain, and of course, his home stomping grounds of Yosemite Valley. Bachar transcended climbing to the point that he has been featured on the cover of climbing magazines 10 years after he retired, and is regularly mentioned in all the outdoor publications. Raw and uncompromising, Bachar';s training made him a man, his climbs made him a myth, and his solos made him a legend.

Vertical Frontier

Narrated by Tom Brokaw, this award-winning rock climbing video 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. Nowhere is the expression of this way of life more pronounced than at Camp 4. Looking east, toward Half Dome, the morning sun reaches Camp 4 before any other campground in the Valley. For the climbers, this dusty, boulder-strewn campground is their mecca, their gathering place...and often their home. In 1997, the "flood of the century" wiped out housing and lodging around Yosemite Valley. In 1997, after the "flood of the century" wiped out housing and lodging around Yosemite Valley, the National Park Service proposed the development of new lodging and employee housing in and around Camp 4. When Camp 4, the home base and true heart of early rebel rock climbing culture, faces possible destruction by the National Park Service, a dream team of veteran alpinists joins forces to save it. The story concludes as the climbers celebrate Camp 4 being named eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. **This download version is slightly shorter than the full, director';s cut which is available for purchase in DVD and VHS.
