Well known American sustainable outdoor clothing company Patagonia this week launched its latest film which premiered worldwide on Youtube. 

Highlighting some of the individuals that have shaped the underground culture of climbing, 'Stone Locals,' showcases the heart and passion of the climbing community as it grapples with the sports permeation in the mainstream. 

The story documents five people who have, in their most painful moments, found healing through climbing and the climbing community and who look to maintain that same spirit as the sport evolves.

To these ‘local legends’ and most who join the sport climbing is a way of life, a way of connecting with nature, others and yourself. 

 

See the full movie below which also features a live chat hosted by the filmmakers, Mikey Schaefer and Cheyne Lempe who’ll be joined by climbers Kathy Karlo and Brandon Belcher for a Q&A sesh.
