PORTRAIT of the AMERICAN CLIMBER

welcomes you to the rock adventure film diary!

“We give this weblog a resounding two thumbs up!” - Ebert, Steck, and Roper

“This is, by far, the best blog Oakley has ever written.” - Paul Blair

“Cool, young, sexy. ” - TeenBeet, USA

If the glowing reviews aren’t enough to make you want to read on, I have compiled a list of criteria that might. You should be reading this blog if:

• You like good stories.  And good movies.

• You don’t know anything about the world of rugged individuals, free spirits, and clever adventurists we are portraying…but sign you up!

• You know everything from Robert Underhill’s middle name to the FA’s on every El Cap or Flatirons route, as well as the original editors of the Vulgarian Digest. Hell, you could pretty much publish your own guidebook (or already have). Help shape this movie!

• You just onsighted a 5.13…at the climbing gym. Gym punks, we welcome you too. United is our history, present, and future!

• You’ve played desert solitaire.

• You can set for an f8 f11 split.

• You have a ton of money that you just can’t spend quick enough, and you’d like to find a new “cool, young, sexy” project to be the benefactor of.

Ok, allow me to stop the inside jokes for a minute and give you a proper welcome.

Hello.

Stay awhile.

Come back soon.

This is a blog that chronicles the journey of a documentary film. The documentary film chronicles the people who have journeyed up rocks and into mountains. The mountains are the chronicle of time, beckoning those whose live for adventure.
