"We were conquistadors of the useless"
In 6 words, Yvon Chouinard - the founder of Patagonia - describes the paradox inherent in grand outdoor adventure. In 180 Degrees South, he and Doug Tompkins - a co-founder of The North Face - recount their climbing and surfing adventures of the 60s and 70s. Meanwhile, a modern day "dirt bag" (no offense meant - Yvon uses the term lovingly) - Jeff Johnson - travels with the pair to Chile to climb, surf, and, well, maybe organize a revolution.
