The 1978 film "El Capitan"
|
This ultra classic film seems to be very difficult to find. Does anyone have an extra copy for sale or know where to find one? |
|
It's a classic for sure. Try Chessler books as he often has alot of rare stuff. |
|
I just looked at Chessler earlier today, and to my surprise, found the goose egg. |
|
"El Capitan" is the greatest climbing film of all time!!! |

This film was shown at the first or second Alpinist film festival in Jackson Hole back in around 2003 or something. You might have some luck by contacting the Alpinist offices or Christian Beckwith directly. Awesome movie. |
|
Thanks, Kevin, Todd. |
|
I have it. PM me. |

Bill, |

Sounds like a movie that should be passed around, similar to this one: |
|
It is indeed a movie that should be passed around, except this one is actually about climbing. ;-) |

The film is being re-released!! Here is a note from the filmmaker: |

Forgot my kickstarter sign in, so went through facebook. Look forward to the DVD arriving sometime after Nov. deadline! |

This is great, just kicked in some $ on kickstarter |

This is awesome. Pledged my money. Has any effort been made to maybe go after some real sponsors? Maybeee some major climbing companies or a magazine? I am assuming that the AAC wouldn't be interested in funding something like this? Just some thoughts because it seems like a ton of money to raise guerilla style in one month...just in terms of making the deadline. I hope this works out, good climbing flicks are hard to come by and it would be great to see something from a different era. Best of luck. |

Hi Everyone, |
|
Pledge made. |
|
Thanks again everyone. Please share with the Kickstarter page with your friends kickstarter.com/projects/17…. We have 8 days to go and need a lot more contributions to reach our goal. I've really been trying to get El Capitan back in circulation and it's been a big effort and expense and need a little help to make this successful. Thank you very much. |
