Absolutely brilliant. Thank you Mike for digging up all of the old footage and putting together such a great story here. Definitely stuck me and people of my generation in climbing like a blade. Damn near perfect, thanks again.
My home crag is American Fork Canyon. I'm lucky to live 20 minutes away. My first 5.13 was one of Boone's routes and I'm working another one of his classics right now. No denying he was at the forefront to pave the way for hard sport climbing for everyone, but he's still paving personal climbing journeys for others today through his routes, his art, his innovations, and more. True pioneer and inspiration. Respect.
There's this film called "My Octopus Teacher" where the film maker befriends a wild octopus and follows her for a year. During filming the octopus is attacked by a shark and loses an arm. When Boone and Mike lose their parents it reminded me of that film. Our parents are the arms that lift us up, and they eventually leave us. The octopus in the film regrows her arm, and like Boone and Mike they regrow their arm through the connections with their friends. Lovely film!
Extremely inspiring film. What a way to start out my day. I will remember this one for a long time, not necessarily for how hard anyone climbed or how beautiful it was but for how it made me feel.
Thank you mike for such an inspiring film. The way that Boone makes you feel , is the way you are making me feel , with your poetic words and Inspiring revelation of your story . I adore every single bit of this film. Thank you again
Wow 😲 it's a wonderful story, projects, history. Nice shoot, nice climb, thank you for this film. Rip for your family and, continue to live this history!
Used to see Boone and Mike around SLC areas when I lived there in the early 2000s. Always nice and polite to me. Good guys. Even before I lived there, I'd bought pusher holds for my home wall in Cali in the 90s. Boones footprints were all over back then. Goddamn I'm old.
Everything Mike Call does is awesome. Met him once in LCC and he was so nice and encouraging. Frequent Flyers and the short "Black Lung" are two of my favorite climbing films.
I'm a native Utahn. Black Diamond moved to Utah because it's a right to work state and BD could profit from cheap workers and labor laws that benefit the wealthy10%. In doing this BD became blind to Utahns rejection of environmental protection.

0:20 it is dumb. I think that's why I love it so much. Makes a whole lot more sense than many of the things in this world.
Nice to see the old school footage, I enjoyed it
... right everyone looks so much more engaged
Damn, that was inspiring AF.

Fantastic film; thank you. Boone Speed's images are among my favorites of any photographer!

Thanks Spencer.
I have great memories climbing with all these guys back in '90 and '91. Really enjoyed seeing all the familiar faces in the old footage.
Hi Dave! hope you're well.
@@mikecallvideos Hey Mike! Nice job with this video ... super fun seeing the Body Shop videos. Hope you're doing well too!
Great video !!!!! BUT , far too short. I was totally captivated and mesmerized by every aspect of it, thank you....
Boones photos look so good
this is well done, puts a lot in perspective - beyond climbing, art and photography.... "how much better does is get"? best line.
I love films like this. Amazing work!
My deepest condolences to you and your sisters for the loss of your mum. Such strength, conviction and honor. You all must be very proud.

Do you guys know if there is anywhere to get the image /poster @ 17.53 ?
OH, hi mike
The picture at 21:29 is incredible. Brought some tears. Is there any way I can download that/buy it so that I can set it as my background?
make sure quality is set to 1080p and take a screenshot. simple
I don't think its downloadable but I'll see if he'll make it available.
Nice
boulderhats and mats ooooooh

Synopsis: Climber bro is a jerk, but he takes okay photos, so...
Looking for a sponsor 😂
BD it’s your turn
Climbing the reason why i lied to my wife 😂😂🤣
please!!! Subtitle this !!!
Dramatic like every american story.
Who came from jared leto's twitter ?
Karan
This doesn't paint Boone in the most flattering light. Perhaps accuracy was valued more than flattery.
Boycott Black Diamond until Clarus divests from tear gas
More like the FARTIST! AM i right?
Haha no one says "heinous" anymore
Sooooooo not true man 😂😂😂
Falsch
Great job with this film Mike! Thoroughly enjoyed the history.
Thanks Greg!
I love this so much
