Climbing Films of the 1990’s

As I was recording a “Thanks and Merry Christmas” episode of Written in Stone, it occurred to me that putting together a list of the free online films from the 1990’s might be a good idea. So I did that. And then I figured I should probably reach out to my friend Mike Call, who not only was instrumental in bringing the Pusher brand to the world and helped shape The Boss, but also filmed much of what was going on in American climbing at the time. So I did that, too. Merry Christmas, and thanks for the years of support and for welcoming this new project exploring the history of this sport we love.

Listen to the episode above or anywhere you get podcasts. And if you know of other 1990’s climbing films that we didn’t find, leave them in the comments!
