This is the coolest climbing video ever! it is so interesting to see how this sport we all love, which this website is based on, was started! from hemp ropes and pitons to speed ascents of El Cap's Nose. it's easier to figure out where we can take climbing if we know where we came from! So fantastically interesting!!! A must own!

Happened across this DVD while browsing at Netflix. Turned out to be really interesting. I have so much more respect for the climbers who came before me now. There are definitely some great action segments but a lot of interesting historical background as well. Would have given it a 3.5 if that was an option. Definitely one to add to the rental list!
