Mountain of Storms ( Full Film), A Legendary Road Trip
In 1968, five friends set out on a 5, 000mile road trip in a white Ford van bound for South America. They packed surfboards, skis, and climbing gear and documented the whole trip on a 16mm Bolex camera. From Ventura, California to a first ascent on Cerro Fitz Roy, with a stop for sand skiing and 31 days in an ice cave in between, Mountain of Storms not only prefigured the modern adventure movie, it serves as the mythological origin story behind the Patagonia name and philosophy, and informed a founding principle that would come to dominate these mens lives for the next five decades: whats important isnt what you accomplished, its how you got there. Featuring Yvon Chouinard, Doug Tompkins, Chris Jones, Dick Dorworth, and Lito TejadaFlores.
