First Ascent

The first all women climbing film! Beth Bennett and Lynn Hill make the first female free ascent of the Naked Edge, Eldorado Canyon, Colorado.

Break on Through
by Bob Carmichael - featuring Roger Briggs
Experience the Golden Era of climbing the Naked Edge in this striking film by Bob Carmichael. It serves as a tribute to leading climbers of the era, Roger Briggs and Duncan Ferguson, and also to the psychedelic style of the time. The Naked Edge, a 5.11 arete on the most prominent feature of Eldorado Canyon, was the test piece for climbers of the 1970s and 80s. This short film is considered a classic in American rock climbing history.
