Blue Water, Grey Rock

This is a very cool video that starts a small series of 5 videos with guys from the outdoor clothing company Patagonia. They combine blue water sailing with rock climbing first ascents(in plain speak, the first recorded time someone has reached the summit of a certain rock formation).

It really combines the brotherhood of climbers(of ages young to old). It starts with an introduction of a crazy group of guys, deemed "the wild bunch." And their captain Reverend "Bob." The old soul of the group and the one whose vessel they'll be sailing on. Sounds like a typical guy movie, huh? Maybe. But these types come together and make interesting stories because they're not living typical lives.

Introductions being done, they get up to 'ship shape' and sail out. I really love the folksiness of the music in this, it really brings it all together. There are many beautiful shots in all of this, and some pretty amazing camera work. This little series is sure to inspire.


Check it out and remember, watch all 5 episodes!
