Join the bold, cutting-edge and completely out there climbers who haunt Colorado's Front Range. From the late, great free-solo guru Derek Hersey, to the climbing canine Biskit and the urban ape Timmy O'Neill, Front Range Freaks showcases climbing like you have never seen it before.
Rock climber Zachary Barr goes head to head with Jules Verne, a six pitch climb in Eldorado Canyon, Boulder, Colorado. During his preparation, he meets the previous generation of climbers who established the route, and made the sport what it is today.
