Thank you Chris! Some of the ice climbing footage reminded me of us climbing the Necktie of Ushba back in 93. Having climbed with you this series is very true to you: Prudent yet Adventurous to the extreme! Good health to you my friend
Great to watch, and important documentation/preservation of an astonishingly bold generation of French mountaineers. Beghin and Profit's 1991 ascent of K2 was made in a style, and on a schedule, many people follow on Mt. Hood. Mind-blowing, IMO.
Thankyou for sharing this.It is so nice that some of these nostalgic docs, are showing up.I hope some day that some more of Don Whillans and Joe Brown ans Dougal Haston and Brian Clough show up.Thnx again.
Contact Rene Daumal and ask him for the address of Professor Sogol who will help you get to the Non-Euclidean Mountain. Once there, I hope you will be able to do what needs to be done.
21:15 i think is just extreme diffrent and the risk itself i mean i bet all the people that do this kinda of shit just don t wanna work a boring ass job and die like a normal ass person
Is it media driven? Of course. Everest never would have been climbed if there was no media to announce the gaining of the summit. Is it competitive? The narrator claims that Britain has not taken part in continental competitions 20:29. Climbing Everest was a competition between nations. The French had the permit to climb Everest the year following Hillary's first ascent. If the Brits hadn't climbed Everest in 1953 then the French might have made the first ascent in 1954. The Brits didn't want that at all. The Swiss were also in the competition.
I disagree to an extent. Men (and now women) have always climbed mountains. It's a human drive, it was there, driving explorers up mountains, long before Media existed.
You have misunderstood what he meant, when he said that Britain's have not taken part in continental competitions he is referring to the climbing competitions that happened in continental Europe, the competitions this documentary is about.
