LISA RANDS
	Price: £19.95 [€24.95]Including VAT
A movie about the love of bouldering and a woman's quest for the ultimate high. Lisa Rands takes us on a search for highball California Granite, from Black Mountain to Donner Summit; a fingertip-ripping tour of some of the best bouldering in the Golden State. Inspiring a revolution in women's bouldering, Rands stepped up to tall hard problems without ropes, pushes, or any other aid to help work the moves. In this video, we see her take that 'ground up' philisophy on the road, making ascents of the stunning 'Thriller' in Yosemite Valley, and 'Plain High Drifter' (V11) at the Buttermilks (the first V11 by an American woman.) She also fights back her fear to tackle the finest patina in the Bishop area on 'The Checkerboard' plus the terrifying highball 'Sword of Damocles' at Horse Flats. Lisa's 100% effort is clearly evident in the grimace on her face and the torn tape on her fingers. Between double-screamer fliers and close-up wide-angle action, Rand talks about her motivation, her excitement for climbing, and about the day she wrote down her 'hit list' of all those great lines she was so determined to climb. A Film by Wills Young. PLAY THE TRAILER (requires Flash player)

In every sport there are men, myths and legends. In the world of rock climbing and free soloing without a rope, there is only one name that fits all three: John Bachar.

A true rock star as a teenager, Bachar soloed 5.11 when 5.12 did not yet exist, he created the first 5.12 in Yosemite Valley, bouldered harder, climbed stronger and refused to compromise his ethics along the way.

Film length 42 minutes Extras 35 minutes Psyche Edit The DVD also includes a psyche edit which allows you to just watch just the climbing scenes without having to keep reaching for the Fast Forward button every time a talking head appears.
