(USA, 2017, 1hr 36m)
Directed by Dave O'Leske

"Beckey has a high bar for excitement, given his decades of record-setting mountaineering. Aside from grand adventures, he’s also picked up a number of epithets in his career: Grandfather of the road trip. Climbing’s living encyclopedia. A mythical character. Totally obsessive. And at 93 years old, Beckey hasn’t changed a bit." - National Geographic Explorer
