Perhaps I should get out more but it did occur to me whilst watching today's
instalment of fine mountain drama that the wardrobe people had an ace job.

Picture the scene "here's the brief: you've got to dress 30 people in
roughtie toughtie climbing gear, oh & there have got to be lots of nice
shiny things around to make it look authentic".

Careers teacher never told me about that one...

Well, in that case, I will make a point of getting there some time soon
to introduce myself.

See you soon,

Vertical limit is the penultimate of "so bad it's good" climbing
films. Unfortunately, it is not the ultimate.

Right. Thank Crom that they didn't make it into a dramatic release.
There are very few American directors and producers that I would trust
with that project. Maybe John Sayles. I'm still waiting for the next
half believable climbing film. Though K-2 was a bit overwrought
(Michael Bein from the Terminator series), it at least didn't contain
full blown cliff jumping onto ice axes and crampons with nitroglycerin
and helicopter blades swinging at heads. And the part in VertLim with
the rope cutting. I mean the first part. I almost expected the father
to tell his son, "Cut yourself out of the scene. It can't take all of
our weight."
