Elevation Weekend: Valley Uprising – Sneak Peek
Discovery Channel presents Elevation Weekend: A weekend of epic documentaries, that cover new conflicts and obstacles as well as reflect on the history
of heroic expeditions and how they inform modern explorations.
Elevation Weekend commences with the premiere of the award-winning documentary, VALLEY UPRISING, on Saturday, April 25 at 8 PM ET/PT.
VALLEY UPRISING explores the stories of those who pushed the limits of what’s possible in Yosemite Valley, CA from the very beginning to now, as rock climbing
has evolved from its origins in the free-wheeling ‘60s culture of sex, drugs, and rock and roll to a modern sport that, while retaining its wild spirit,
features some of our nation’s best athletes.
These are not just climbers but storytellers who have called Yosemite Valley home, pushing the boundaries set by predecessors, going beyond the risk and
commitment over the span of 50 years as rock climbing evolved.
VALLEY UPRISING was awarded the grand prize at the 2014 Banff Mountain Film Festival.
