The Rise and Fall of John Long

John Long is one of the original stone masters, a visionary climber. He grew up in Upland, which is about 100 miles west of their just little bedroom community about 45 miles east of Los Angeles. What was it like the first time you went to Yosemite and how did it feel to see real big walls? I can't put words to that. It's like finding very treasure. Well, what we did really fully appreciate was the entrepreneurial nature of the local climbers. There's an airplane and it's four and they're one. Next question. Chapter one, misfits.
