Best climbing movie ever seen 9-Jul-2009 At 1:48:27 PM MisterGribble

Let's get it out of the way right now - Cliffhanger!

How many times have you hauled a second up onto a belay ledge for them to look at you and say 'you resilient bastard' - best line John Lithgow ever had in movies!

How much have you wanted one of those rocket propelled bolt guns that shoots the bolt plus hanger straight into the rock ready for use (makes ground-up ascents a lot easier!)

Who could ever forget 'The Making of Cliffhanger' when Sly finishes hurling dumbbells around the gym, looks the camera in the eye and slurs 'Uuuuuugh they say doin' comedy's tough!'

Shoot me down in flames but I think it's probably the greatest climbing film in the partial-English speaking world!
