| E11
tells the story behind the first ascent of Rhapsody, a route now
considered to be the hardest tradition rock climb in the world.
Told in an offbeat dramadoc style the film attempts to understand
what it takes to climb a route of this standard. E11 strives to
get inside the head of its first ascentionist, the understated yet
quite remarkable Dave MacLeod. Oh yeah, it’s also packed full
of ankle smashing, gear ripping, monster falls! |
