If you liked Valley Uprising, you should check out the documentary Dirtbag: The Legend of Fred Beckey, coming out in 2017 (http://dirtbagmovie.com/). Beckey was a pioneer of climbing all the way back to the 1940s -- and is still doing it today at 93. Saw him at Vertical World here in Seattle just a few months ago. Epic.

How do you like vertical world? I've been out of the sport for many years and my periodic attempts to return usually end with me going to a gym, realizing I won't be able to find an unoccupied wall for a few hours, and hanging up my shoes again. Are there places in Seattle I have a shot?

Vertical World is great -- two gyms, one at Interbay and the other in Redmond near Marymoor. It can get a bit crowded during peak hours, but the vibe is very friendly and welcoming. I also climb at Seattle Bouldering Project in the CD. It's a massive space with lots of room. Give it a try again!
