Mountain of Storms

Pretty neat…an excerpt of a movie about some outdoor adventures in the 1960′s by Yvon Chouinord (and friends). He founded Patagonia. From YouTube:

In the summer of 1968 three men – climber and surfer Yvon Chouinard, climber and skier Doug Tompkins, and champion skier Dick Dorworth – set off from California in an old van to surf, ski and climb their way down to the southern end of Argentina where they met up with a young British climber, Chris Jones. Their goal was to climb a mountain that had been climbed only twice before: Cerro Fitz Roy.

In this excerpt, watch as Yvon, Doug and Dick score waves in Peru. First they surf a left point break in Chicama and then shoot the pier in Cerro Azul.
