John Sherman

This is a gorgeous ode about rock climbing and time passing, with John Gill, the spiritual genius, at its center. Remarkable voices emerge to paint the picture of the great master boulderer, John Gill. Individuals who have been part of it all, such as Ron Kauk, Rich Goldstone, Tom Higgins, Royal Robbins, John Sherman, and filmmaker Pat Ament himself. New footage uncovered of Gill enriches these images, and his voice too comes alive with detailed analysis of some of his iconic climbs. As deep and touching as the first film, 'The disciples of Gill', this second incarnation continues but stands alone as well, as a work of art itself.

High and mighty is a documentary about bouldering. It was directed by Peter Mortimer in 2015 and produced by Sender Films. It is a part of the series Reel Rock 10. It features Daniel Woods.

The movie follows the comps from Hounds Ears in North Carolina, to the first ever comp at the then recently opened Little Rock City/Stone Fort near Chattanooga, and ends with the comp at Horse Pens 40 in Alabama.  This was the layout of the original series, with LRC before HP40, but since then the LRC comp has been moved to the last comp of the series and HP40 is now in the middle.  But the movie is more about the climbing than the fact that its a great documentary of the first Triple Crown.
