Sometimes it’s just best to unplug!
The Descent features a pair of climbers whose ascent up the wall unexpectedly reverses course, and reminds us that sometimes common sense should win out over modern technology.

Director, Dale Baskin
Dale Baskin is a filmmaker and photographer based in Seattle, USA. A few years ago he bought a one-way plane ticket to Ecuador and immediately fell in love with adventure travel. Throwing caution to the wind, he spent the next two years visiting every country in South America traveling only by ground or by water, documenting remote people and places along the way. Despite attacks by rabid dogs, a few experiences on the wrong side of automatic weapons, and accidentally winning the longest rafting race in the world, he's always looking for the next big adventure.
