This documentary shows a guy retracing a great road trip climbing adventure that jacques chouinard, the founder of patagonia, and a few friends did back in the 1960's. The film is interspersed with cute and classic old footage from chouinard's adventure, and our hero enjoyably surfs and sails his way to chile's fitzroy range for a good climb. Along the way he finds a little love and hits us with some environmental messages that frolic on the cliff of the blindingly obvious, but still fit into the movie well. I found myself goofily smiling through almost the whole movie, and would recommend it to anyone who likes a good outdoor flick -- the last one i enjoyed so much was the excellent surf movie 'step into liquid'. 180 S isn't perfect and doesn't aim too high, yet by not over-reaching it rings true.
