I'm just searching for some footage for HDC and came across this teaser. I saw some of the "Sharp Edge" at the Banf Film Festival and it was bloody good. Must try to get the whole movie.

Oh yeah - here we go: Dean Potter free soloing the Eiger with only a base chute as protection. I'm pretty sure this is from "The Sharp End"

Check out 1:59 onwards :exclaim:

it's only JUST 10 years old

now oldfagz style would be a copy of Glowacz 'rocks around the world' book from 1988 (men in tights!)

(yes, of course I own a copy)

or a copyo of Herzog's 'Scream of Stone' from 1991 :thumbsup:

You'd better be wearing your hobnails next time I see you climbing.
