FILM SYNOPSIS

Like so many professional climbers in Yosemite Valley, Timmy O'Neill had never been to Hetch Hetchy. He is guided by Lucho Rivera who, along with his wife Mecia Serafino, is one of the few climbers familiar with Hetch Hetchy’s granite walls. Shortly after the filming, Lucho and Mecia joined the board of Restore Hetch Hetchy.
