"Three on a Rope" -- Funny climbing footage from back in the day?

Not sure how I came across this one, but I thought it was pretty funny. Also kind of neat to see how much the sport has evolved...

I love the Looney Tunes + Cold war Propoganda style of footage.

Great stuff. Considering the apparent lack of protection, sure looks exciting.

Classic flick. They were promised money by the producers, but afterwards the producers shafted them. Went to court and they got a very nominal cut...much hasn't changed :)

Herman doesn't need a rope he is free basein!. Any idea what routes they are on?

I love how the one guy pulls of a piece of loose rock, then puts it back to use as a great stepping stone. WOW!

I know some of the footage is from Tahquitz...ive heard fingertip traverse/trough...also some footage shot near Mt Baldy...

Dulfersitz rappel off a single horn?
You'd think the size of this lad's 'nads' would slow his descent!
Loved the animated screams by the lady climber also.
Thanks for the video Aaron :)
