“The Center of the Universe”

Climbing on rock and ice (), Max Reichel (Deutschland/Germany) 51 min

The film describes four days in the life of Alexander Huber in the Yosemite Valley. During those four days, between the last bouldering and the free climb of his route “El Corazon”, we don’t watch Alex concentrating or meditating seriously as one would expect – but rather enjoying the typical lifestyle of Yosemite Valley. The film not only shows the feeling of life and the unique art of climbing in the Yosemite Valley, but also introduces the spectators to part of the history of climbing in this valley thanks to the comments and pictures by Heinz Zak, Jim Bridwell, Lynn Hill and Alexander Huber.
