Proof that sometimes one person can make an enormous difference. I look forward to seeing the documentary.

I just kicked in some cash, I'm that enthused!
I've already given, too: I've lost track of how many hours of interviews I've done, not to mention working with the Producer and the cool Director who keeps popping in here with Big Thanks. These Flatlanders are for real!
Allow me to tease you with as-yet-undisclosed details. We're planning a major event, probably in Yosemite next fall, that will pull together Rock Stars you know and love, all in honor of Tom Frost. More on this in due time.
You may not believe what I chose for a prize on Indiegogo. A set of Tom Frost's Sentinel nuts. Since I already have them on my rack, I'll explain. As a guide, I've nutted-up thousands and thousands of pitches. Sentinel Nuts are one of the two easiest-to-finesse kinds of nuts there are. The other? The original Stoppers. Not the current production ones, but the first few generations of straight-sided ones.
Yeah, those old straight ones are the only Stoppers on my rack, right alongside Tom's Sentinels. Everybody touts the newer curve on their stoppers for sticking better in cracks. Fair enough. But the downside of sticking tenaciously that they don't talk about? They are harder to get out. So the nuts that got stuck and you had to leave on pitch #2 aren't around to protect the crux on pitch #9.
Straight Stoppers (btw, Frost and I designed them together) haven't been made for decades. Tom's Sentinel Nuts are the only straight-sided ones currently on the market. Get 'em while they last!
And help support this killer film about the most humble Rock Star ever!

Just donated as well. Only 9 days left. This will be an important film about one of America's big wall pioneers. Tom probably has had more influence on the evolution of climbing gear than any other American. Not to mention his cutting edge climbs. He was still climbing big walls with his son in the 1990's!

Dear Supertopo Family,
Our fundraising campaign that comes to an end Friday, Dec 11th @ Midnight.
As I work on this letter we have raised over $30,000! Unlike Kickstarter, Indiegogo allows us to keep every dollar raised.
What we are personally most proud of is that the most famous athletes in the outdoor world, all sponsored by different brands, are playing in the same sandbox together. This is unprecedented and reminds us every day why this film must be made. The making of the film is not about us, it is about the Tom Frost's legacy and his reputation within the photography & outdoor community.
We were rewarded by this concept by receiving many personal donations from the owners of some of the largest outdoor companies. Symbolic victories for sure!
Have we chosen the hard way to fund this adventure? Yes… But it’s the right way. This is a passion project, not a commercial venture, and we are trying to capture history in the "best style" we can before it goes away forever.
Again, there are very few times in your life when you get an opportunity to create something so important that can inspire change.
“It’s not that you got to the top, it’s how you do it that matters.” Tom Frost
That said, we still need financial assistance and would be truly grateful for any donation you can afford during this time of giving. Click Here To Donate!
The best part is we have perks donated by the biggest outdoor brands in the world to reward you for your generosity & just in time for the holidays! (We also have artisan chocolate.. to keep for yourself shhhhh)
All perks, from $1.00 on up, grant you a special “thank you” in the end credits of the film. Your name will be attached to history. How cool is that?
Check out the perks here: http://igg.me/at/frostdoc/x/10880133
To all of you who have already donated, shared, told your friends, etc. a heartfelt THANK YOU from all of us at Flatlander Films!
Wishing you and your loved ones a peaceful & warm holiday season!
Sincerely,
Tom Seawell
