In the fall of 2007, I began聽an incredible adventure that took me from Yosemite to the shores of Chile鈥攁 journey that eventually became the coffee table book and documentary film聽. With stops in Mexico, the Galapagos Islands, and Easter Island, my goal was to retrace the steps of Patagonia founder Yvan Chouinard and The North Face founder Doug Tompkins on thier famous 1968 journey from Ventura, California, to Mount Fitzroy, Chile.
On this particular morning,聽I found myself waking up with Keith Malloy and Timmy O'Neill 1,600 feet off the ground, inside the Black Cave on the North American Wall of El Capitan.聽It was the trip of my life.
