Living the dream of just about every adventure-loving young person, The Stonemasters: California Climbers in the Seventies documents the lives of a group of teens in the Southern California of the 70s, a loosely organized tribe known as the Stonemasters. Becoming a Stonemaster required an ascent of Valhalla in Idyllwild, California in those early years, but as the years progressed and both their strength and sense of adventure increased, the core Stonemasters' climbs and endurance feats extended to ever bigger mountains in Yosemite Valley, the Canadian Rockies, and on to other continents including a crossing of the North Pole.
