Climbing

People going up things, and the camera that has to go with them. Free Solo has the problem stated plainly, that the crew may be filming a death, and Meru and The Alpinist both circle the same question about what is being served. Valley Uprising is the fun one, forty years of Yosemite as a story about dropouts.
