From John Muir in the 1860s to the super athletes of today, Vertical
Frontier tells the saga of the free-spirited climbers whose uniquely American
contribution to mountaineering techniques, equipment, and ethics allowed them
to be the first to conquer 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 and many more.
