Valley Uprising for Other Climbing Areas

If you could have a "Valley Uprising" type movie made for any climbing area other than Yosemite, what would you choose?

For me it would have to be the South Platte in Colorado. The strict ethic, bolting (and chopping) wars, the rise of Devil's Head as a rap bolting paradise within SPlatte, and hosts FAs from many of Colorados greatest climbers, with the Buck Snort Saloon and the famous books and the disappearance of the original, etc. It seems like there's so many interesting stories and dynamics there, after reading all of the guidebooks I can find (Haas, Hubbel, Trout, TA, etc.) I am constantly looking for more info on the history of the platte region. Including stuff like the Platte Hotel, the buried treasure, etc. If anyone has any recommendations for other places to get info (about to watch Huntsman for the first time now), I'd love to hear them.

So what would you all pick?

Seneca Rocks...   or some of the North Carolina locations.

I think those areas are generally overlooked compared to west coast climbing.

Oklahoma.  For sure.  I really wanna know who put them routes at Quartz Mtn.

Gotta be the Gunks, there's 80 years of amazing history and it's spent much of it as the cutting-edge for climbing on the east coast.

Like the Valley, it went through several changing-of-the-guard periods, from the Appies to the Vulgarians to the young guns after them. Then the clean climbing revolution, and the pushback against bolting that left it to mostly stagnate against the new sport crags of the Northeast, even though it still remains as arguably the primary hub of trad climbing for the whole east coast.

All in all, it would all make for a pretty good narrative for a film.

Central and Southern Sierra from Kings Canyon & Sequoia all the way down through the Needles and Domelands would be cool to see since I lived there for about a decade. Bold routes done in the 80's, 90's and into the 2000's from a dedicated group of really good climbers. Laversee, Laeger, Joe, Leavitt, Yaniro, Waugh, Nettle, Kamps and Becky just some of the climbers from a long list of familiar names. Running out slabs, hand-drilling on lead, tying off knobs and just 'going for it' was the norm back then. Then it's also really cool to see some new-school crushers like Musiyenko, Prince and Jeffcoach still finding quality lines in the area.

Instead of an area, how about a person. Conrad kain would be super interesting. Although since there’s no footage of him climbing it might be hard to make a visually interesting movie. Maybe someone climbing his best FAs while his biography is narrated. 

I’d like to see a movie about the battle for the first ascent of Plumbers Crack.  All those hippies running around the Kraft boulders, defying logic with their bold and cutting edge style.

Oh, Squamish for sure. There has got to be a million stories.

Stannage Edge would be another good one

Drunk or wasted buffoonery abounds.

DLFA movie was made ~6-7 years ago or so now.  Google it. It’s an awesome 30 min film. 

The red river gorge. It would be more of a comical-reality-show-documentary about woke climbers wearing neon-colored puffys invading Appalachian coal country. In my time living in Kentucky, I heard many stories of local rednecks and climbers having beef. One holler was known as the meth capital of US (don't know how true that is?) and the locals would smash climbers car windows whenever they saw them there.

The breakfast burrito story would be a nice addition as well. 

Definitely the Gunks. I'd throw in on a Patreon project for that.

Yup.  Trouble is, it's hard for non-climbers to understand why leading one pitch of Voo can be such a big deal.  Also, it might get an R rating for all the blood.

Tetons. Smith Rock.

Devils lake or lumpy ridge 

New England mountaineering history without a doubt would make for a really interesting film

The Utah desert, especially the towers and Zion would be interesting.  The landscape is so iconic and dramatic without looking anything at all like Yosemite.  There is a huge cast of climbing legends, modern badasses, and strange oddballs.  The contrast between Yosemite's social scene and competition and the more remote and isolated exploration in the desert would be an interesting difference.  It would be a really tough movie to make though because of that remoteness and dispersion.
