180 South

180 South

In 1968, Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins set out to surf, ski and climb their way to Patagonia. The wild places they found later motivated them to protect the environment. Inspired by this journey, Jeff Johnson and Woodshed Films set sail on a voyage to South America to climb a mythical peak called Corcovado with Chouindard and Tompkins.

A quick stop (for rehydration) after an all night drive and throwing a few coins to the roadside shrine to ward off flat tires. Just another ??? miles of Mexico's finest dirt road and you're home free, until you try to get home.
