Aerialist - Dean Potter

Wed, 12 Nov 2008 17:04:57 -0800

Aerialist is about Dean Potter and his transformation from rock climber into an aerialist- defined as "an acrobat who performs at height". We have been working on Aerialist in one form or another for years. In 2006, we began shooting new action sequences of Dean practicing what he calls the "Three Disciplines"-Free Soloing, High-lining and BASE jumping- to complement years of archival footage. But the story goes back even further.
On January 22, 2002, Jose Pereyra, Dean's dear friend and mentor died while climbing in Mexico. The loss hit Dean at the peak of his speed climbing and alpinism car

Dean Potter Free-Solos 40-foot overhanging crack, Heaven (5.12d/13a), Yosemite

Mon, 23 Oct 2006 12:31:02 -0700

In August 2005, Patagonia Ambassador Dean Potter free-soloed Heaven (5.12d/13a), a 40-foot overhanging crack that starts over 2,500 feet above the Yosemite Valley floor. Heaven was first freed by Ron Kauk in the mid-90s. Other notable Potter free-solos include Separate Reality (5.11d/12a), Astroman (5.11c), and Dog's Roof (5.12b). Dean Potter is the only person to free climb Yosemite's Half Dome and El Cap in a single day. In Patagonia, he made the first ever free solo of the Supercanaleta on Fitz Roy, followed with the Compressor Route on Cerro Torre, becoming the first to solo both peaks.
