As Tom Callaghan puts it, “there is only one opportunity for someone to have a grand adventure” on a particular section of rock. “Benedictus” is the story of Tom’s grand adventure on the “Big Wall” section of Cannon Cliff in New Hampshire. Using an old aid climbing route as a starting point, Tom sets out to forge a new free climb to the top of the cliff. This turns out to take seven years, but a sense of humor helps Tom keep things in perspective as partners drop out, injuries crop up, weather won’t cooperate and bad luck just happens.

This film is free for all PSU students and $7 for non-students.
