Two of Britain's top free climbers decide to take on one of Yosemite's most awesome lumps of granite: the thousand vertical metres of El Capitan – via it's hardest line – with no experience of big walling whatsoever. Fired up on a diet of bagels, the climbers, Rich and Neil, set off to do battle with the dizzying exposure and raking crack lines of this historic face. The ensuing agony is captured in this spectacularly shot film, that exudes passion and humour and takes a refreshingly honest look at living 6 days in the vertical world. This new DVD stacks up over 45 minutes of extras including out-takes, director's commentary, crew scenes and the award winning short Splinter, about Scotland's super-strong Malcolm Smith conquering Britain's hardest boulder problem. Blood, Sweat and Bagels is an authentic and beautiful film that follows Neil Bentley and Richard Heaps' attempt to free climb Yosemite classic Salathe Wall. Brimmed full of humanity it conveys what it takes to survive five days in the vertical world; the friendship, the masochism, the bloody bagels Release Date: 2001 Running Time: 50 minutes
