Stone Locals: Patagonia Rediscovers The Soul Of Climbing
Patagonia’s new documentary, Stone Locals, focuses on the people, the passion and the growing popularity of climbing. The film tells the stories of 5 climbers who truly represent what climbing’s about, while taking viewers around the world to Germany, Japan, Salt Lake City, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
Synopsis: Climbing has always been more than just a sport. It has provided a way of life and a makeshift family to misfits who share a calling. As the sport grapples with its growing popularity, the people who anchor its core and community have more responsibility than ever. This film tells the stories of five of these anchors, the Stone Locals who keep the soul of climbing and nurture it as the sport evolves.
