Maybe some grant money could be awarded from American Alpine Club or Sierra Club or something?

At the very least perhaps AAC would put up a sign at their headquarters and/or library in Golden.

Good luck!

There are not too many things that drastically changed the course of my life.

This film really did. I borrowed this film in VHS so many times from my local climbing shop (AMH).

So eventually I ended up driving into Yosemite completely sleep deprived and nodding off at the wheel through Tuolumne..I crushed my fingers in the window .. I yelled and screamed in order to stay awake.. I could not stop

There was only one place I wanted to go.. As I came around the corner after exiting a tunnel I saw ElCap for the first time..

I navigated a crazy bunch of roads and drove past camp four at a high rate of speed.. I found some pullout next to a meadow and stared upward at my destination ..jumped out of the car grabbing my rock shoes.

I nearly flew through the woods and came to the sacred stone... I touched it, put my shoes on and began to climb...

Thanks Fred

Lets make this happen

You don't get charged unless the project meets its funding goal, so no risk to you. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Pledged but still need more, $30 gets you dvd/bluray of El Capitan and a follow up film, t-shirt and poster.

Pledged a while ago, but what make me curious is why Fred only gave us one month, if it's longer, we might have a better shot :/ Hope someone will be generous enough to drop 5k within the next 5 days!
