If you liked Valley Uprising, you should check out the documentary Dirtbag: The Legend of Fred Beckey, coming out in 2017 (http://dirtbagmovie.com/ http://dirtbagmovie.com/). Beckey was a pioneer of climbing all the way back to the 1940s -- and is still doing it today at 93. Saw him at Vertical World here in Seattle just a few months ago. Epic.
- debatem1 10y agoHow do you like vertical world? I've been out of the sport for many years and my periodic attempts to return usually end with me going to a gym, realizing I won't be able to find an unoccupied wall for a few hours, and hanging up my shoes again. Are there places in Seattle I have a shot?
- geephroh 10y agoVertical World is great -- two gyms, one at Interbay and the other in Redmond near Marymoor. It can get a bit crowded during peak hours, but the vibe is very friendly and welcoming. I also climb at Seattle Bouldering Project in the CD. It's a massive space with lots of room. Give it a try again!
