Climbing is bigger than ever, but let’s not forget our roots—or rather, our rocks. Valley Uprising chronicles the evolution of the climbing community in the Yosemite Valley, widely appreciated as the birthplace of modern climbing. For generations, Yosemite has shaped climbers who push limits, defy authority, and (sometimes reluctantly) pass the torch. From the dirtbag pioneers to today’s elite senders, witness the journey of legends like Dean Potter, Alex Honnold, and Lynn Hill as they challenge tradition and forge a legacy. Join us for a wild ride through the granite walls of history—where climbers take hold, break barriers, and send big.
