'Reel Rock' coming to Brevard College
By Therman Elkins

A unique experience is coming to BC in the form of the traveling film tour
known as “Reel Rock.” The 9th installment of the “Reel Rock” tour, it is
reminiscent of the Banff Film festival with the exception that it is strictly rock-
climbing based, and includes the showing of one full-length movie.
This event is one that does not usually come to the East Coast, usually play
ing in states like Colorado or overseas. The BC Climbing team has worked
hard to see that the film tour will be making a stop in Brevard at the Ingram
Auditorium on Nov. 8.
The movie that will be featured is called “Valley Uprising.” The film took a
whopping three years to put together and will discuss the rock climbing revolu
tion that has taken place in Yosemite during the 1950s and the progression to
the climbing culture today. This film tour comes with huge sponsors including
The North Face, Evolve, and Clif Bar. There will be local sponsors as well.
The cost to get in will only be $5 and the doors will open at 7 p.m. Tickets
will be available for purchase both by the rock climbing team and local busi
nesses like The Hub and the Brevard Rock Gym.
BC Climbing captain James Smith is excited to have brought this special
event here and hopes that the attendance will help continue to pay for the
free rock climbing night that happens at the Rock Gym. He is also stoked
that Brevard could be chosen to feature the tour when normally this event
is in Asheville.
