Hello SuperTopo Community:

Sender Films is now in full-fledged production on Valley Uprising, our feature documentary about the counterculture history of Yosemite climbing. We've interviewed everyone from Royal Robbins to Jim Bridwell, and it's turning out to be our most ambitious project yet!

Right now we are editing the Stonemasters part of the film. We're doing our best to illustrate the era with the best photos and footage out there.

Can you help us?

Do you have photos or footage from the 1970s and 80s? Did you tape TV shows that included your favorite climbers? How about old ads in magazines? Here's a list of things we would love:

 Anything that illustrates the essence of Camp 4 culture
 Photos or footage of 1960s climbers with the younger 1970s generation
 Outrageous clothing styles from the era
 Pictures inside the Mountain Room
 The 7Up commercial with Bachar and Bridwell -- or any advertisements/commercials
 Magazine covers
 Recordings of old TV shows and competitions (Survival of the Fittest, etc.)

Sender Films has scoured SuperTopo. If it's already been posted on SuperTopo, you can be sure we've got it. We're interested in what HAS NOT been posted or has been taken down. We know there is more out there. Those gems that have been sitting in your garage for years -- that's what we're talking about.

Valley Uprising aims to be the definitive film about rock climbing. We want it to embody as much authenticity as possible. If you want the world to see what defined your subculture, the time is now!

Sender Films will handle shipping expenses and return all original material. If your photo or video makes it into the documentary, we will follow the appropriate procedures to license it from you. Contact producer Juliana Schatz with any questions. Her SuperTopo name is ValleyUprising. You can message her or reach her at the information listed below:

That's not Sibley's photo above.

It was taken with my camera.

I own the original slide and rights.

While this is, of course, a great idea and one that is long overdue... I predict a small maelstrom of ownership rights issues. Even with post #2 we already see issues.

Best of luck and you can be sure I will send in something from C4 I still wonder what lies ahead.

Can't wait to see the C4 photos.

Challenges may lie ahead -- but we do not want that to prevent people from sending in their images and film. We want this film to shine, and hope you do, too.
