New River Gorge: A Climbing Expose This is my first video. I've had several people ask for it since it has some good footage of Dan Osman soloing the Gunclub (5.12c) at Beauty Mountain. I can make dvd copies if someone is interested in having a copy. It also has footage of Doug Reed, Harrison Dekker, Jodie Rozin, Howie Feinsilber, Porter Jarrard and others. I now put this on the South's Steepest DVD. So you get both for the price of one. Just order "The South's Steepest" above if you want a copy of this one. 1991, 42 minutes, DVD
