The Last Wild Mountain

BRAVE NEW WILD is an offbeat chronicle of America`s Golden Age of rock climbing before and after the controversial ascent of the Dawn Wall in 1970. Some forty years later, Oakley Anderson-Moore, the daughter of a pioneering climber, stumbles upon her father`s old hi8 tapes, and sets out to answer the question: why climb when there`s nothing to gain -- and everything to lose? Wry humor and an eclectic original soundtrack punctuate the delinquent antics of the Vulgarians in the `Gunks, the larger-than-life rivalry of Yosemite`s rock gods, and the fruit tramping, freight train hopping hobodom of her dad`s climbing life. This film is quintessential viewing for those who long for adventure.
