El Pájaro
Juan Manuel León (2015)
What leads a kid from a Madrid neighborhood to become a protagonist in the history of climbing in our country? El Pájaro, a century of climbing in La Pedriza is a brief (and very free) review of the history of La Pedriza through its most emblematic cliff "El Pájaro" in the words of its main openers. A documentary that leaves the epic aside and tries to find the most human, funny, and sometimes hooligan side of its protagonists.- 2015
