Overview

In the shady campgrounds of Yosemite valley, climbers carved out a counterculture lifestyle of dumpster-diving and wild parties that clashed with the conservative values of the National Park Service. And up on the walls, generation after generation has pushed the limits of climbing, vying amongst each other for supremacy on Yosemite's cliffs. "Valley Uprising" is the riveting, unforgettable tale of this bold rock climbing tradition in Yosemite National Park: half a century of struggle against the laws of gravity -- and the laws of the land.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A celebration of the audacious climbers who turned Yosemite into a proving ground for human limitation, weaving together archive footage and intimate interviews to chronicle a subculture that lived hard and climbed harder. It's a love letter to a community's golden age and the tension between pushing boundaries and the cost of that rebellion.
