Neil
Bentley and Richard Heap had a dream to tackle one of the most
spectacular and difficult free climbs in the world, the 1000 metres
Salathè Wall on El Capitan in the Usa's Yosemite Valley. This
film follows their adventure as they try to come to gips with
the unremitting nature of the granite mountain. Authentic, intimate
and brimming with humanity, the films shows that failure is as
important as success when underpinned by strong friendship and
some masochism.
DIRECTOR
Richard Heap, 32 years old, has cooperated on Best Forgotten Art,
edited World Bouldering Competition photographs and produced several
amateur videos. During the last four years Richard Heap has realized
many films on climbing. Among them there are Stick it, Stone Love,
Splinter and Hard Grit. The last two have been shown at Cervino
Filmfest.
