I've met him. While living in North Vancouver, I attended one of his talks with another climbing friend I made in Washington state that's climbed with him, what a great guy.

Looks fantastic - what a character!
In reply to UKC News:

Excellent trailer, thank you. What a fascinating character, the "Bob Dylan" of climbing. His notebooks look really interesting too; it should be a great film.

I noted the appeal at the start and would like to know if they raised enough money to finish making it. The closing date has now passed.
