Agreed - horribly, terribly appallingly good.

I have a copy of this - bought it mail order sometime from somewhere. We displayed it once as part of about 5 different movies, slideshows etc running looped on tv's and a projector onto the rear of a house across the lane in Darlington for a party .... the climbers were stoked but it sure weirded out the general disco bunnies, biscuit munchers and cookie eaters... Not to mention drivers going down the road.

Obe of the guys in it - Lito - also wrote a book on XCD skiing (Lito Tejada-Flores) and some other skiing books. There's a few great lines. Good soundtrack.
