The Illness

This comical adventure documentary follows a loud-mouthed crew of Appalachian adventure-seekers deep into the mountains of the Western United States as they climb, talk shit, fish for their dinner, and try to use their single-pitch skills to engage a 1,300-foot wall. Their main objective is to free an old aid route first established over 30 years ago, but will they succeed? Will they be strong enough? Will they be struck by lightning? Or will nature and marginal competence have other plans?

Running Time: 23 Minutes
