Dirtbag: The Legend of Fred Beckey plot
Fred Beckey was one of the most influential climbers in the world. He was also a real 'dirtbag' - someone who doesn't care about society, cares about comfort and focuses entirely on climbing. In the 50s and 60s, there was no one who could match Beckey. Record after record fell in a series of incredible 'first ascents', self-created trails and newly invented routes previously thought impossible.

Very entertaining documentary about the picturesque Fred Beckey, one of the most influential climbers in the world. With a concrete condition too, since he was still climbing until just before his death in 2017, at the age of 94. His fascinating life, which largely took place on the fringes of society, is sublimely portrayed through interviews with colleagues, friends and family and great archive material. Beckey himself is the greatest asset; what a wonderfully striking personality.
