Cliffhanger 2 - awesome! Can't wait for Vertical Limit 2 also!!! I have picked up so many climbing tips from these two quality movies..... Like carrying dynamite up 8000m peaks, how to free climb in the Rockies, and my 2 absolute favourites....
1: how to leap across a gaping chasm with an ice tool in each hand and land safely on the opposite cliff
2: after sliding down an ice slope for a couple of hundred meters you manage to successfully self arrest just as your feet go over the cliff at the bottom...

I also like the medical education of these movies - like the fact that hypothermia is very much overrated since sly recovered from his in about 15 seconds....

Hollywood has given us some fantastic instructional blockbusters on how to climb!
