In our fifth annual "Live from 5Point" Film Festival, we interviewed Frank Sanders and Tommy Caldwell. Frank spent his youth climbing on the East Coast. His path took a turn in 1972, when he hitchhiked west and saw Devil's Tower for the first time. Now, at 63, Frank owns and guides out of Devil's Tower Lodge. He shares the story of his journey and what it's like having found his place. Over the last seven years, Tommy has spent months at a time focused on climbing The Dawn Wall, the hardest big wall climb in history. On January 14th, he and his partner, Kevin Jorgenson, pulled over the top of El Capitan into a swarm of cameras and microphones. He talks to Fitz about what it's like to end a seven-year relationship with a project and how his life has changed now that people outside the climbing world recognize him.

The Dirtbag Diaries : Live from 5Point Vol. 8
This is what adventure sounds like. As long as we’ve climbed, skied, hiked, boated or traveled, we’ve been telling stories. Duct Tape Then Beer present the sometimes serious, often humorous stories about the people who call the outdoors their home. What began as a solitary experiment by writer Fitz Cahall, has evolved into collaboration between writers and listeners to produce the type of stories that rarely find homes in the glossy pages of magazines.
