Valley Uprising to shake Squamish
Squamish, BC - The 9th annual Reel Rock Film tour is returning to
Squamish with a feature film screening of Valley Uprising at the Howe
Sound Inn, 37801 Cleveland Avenue, Squamish, BC on Tuesday, September
30, 2014 at 8pm. Doors open at 8pm and the show starts at 9pm. Tickets
are $18 and are available in advance at http://www.whattheheck.ca.

In its ninth year, the REEL ROCK Film Tour features a special
presentation of the highly anticipated feature-length film “Valley
Uprising.”

Valley Uprising is the latest highly anticipated film from Sender
Films about the rich history of climbing in Yosemite National Park and
the rebellious roots that came along with it. With stunning digitally
animated archival prints and interviews with pioneers like Yvon
Chouinard, Royal Robbins, Dean Potter and Alex Honnold, Valley
Uprising promises to be another climbing classic from Sender Films.

The greatest untold story of American counterculture is that of the
Yosemite Valley rock climbers. For the past fifty years, Yosemite’s
massive cliffs have drawn explorers and madmen to leave materialism
behind and venture onto the high, lonesome granite.

The larger-than-life characters of Yosemite carved out an “extreme
bohemian” lifestyle in the Valley, living on red wine and boiled
potatoes, clashing with National Park authorities, and pioneering the
boldest climbs on Earth. The torch has been passed down across three
generations of climbers; through rivalries, tragedies and triumphs,
the art of Yosemite climbing has advanced beyond anyone’s
imagination.

Valley Uprising is the riveting, unforgettable tale of this bold
tradition: half a century of struggle against the laws of gravity —
and the laws of the land.
