back to the wall

BACK TO THE WALL chronicles the 10-year journey of a quadriplegic rock-climber, Brad Zdanivsky, as he pursues his dream of climbing the 1700-foot vertical wall of the Squamish Chief. But sheer desire it not enough. An epic attempt like this also needs passionate support and a strong team to make it happen, and for Brad, it’s his dad that leads the pack. With the support of professional mountain guide and friend Chris Geisler, his girlfriend Maria, and a cast of volunteers, the effort will be Herculean in many ways. Strongly character-driven with stunning footage shot over a thousand feet off the ground, this film will show what is possible for those with severe injuries.
