Synopsis: This is a study of the great master climber and boulderer, John Gill, through the eyes of author and poet Pat Ament. The film is a bit like the Godfather II, a stand-alone second part to the film “The Disciples of Gill”. Viewers learn in depth about Gill’s most famous problems and secret ways he did them. Gill answers questions boulderers have asked for decades. The film features more of the old black-and-white footage from the original Silent Climber film, the only footage of Gill when he was in his best shape.
