Has anyoe punished themselves by actually watching the whole thing? This by far was the worst movie I have ever seen, they even put on harnesses with chalk bags and scrambled up a class 3 route, never using a rope! Why put on the harness? The wall they practiced on had holes to put your hands in! Arrghh!It sucked!

At that price I'll take 3! Is there some porn in it too

Scott...

If you like that one, you should check out "White Wolves: A Cry In The Wild II"... Picked it up for 99 cents, and that's about what it's worth. It's entertaining, at the very least, and the climbing scenes (and much of the hiking/extreme canyon crossing) is done in the Smith/Mt. Hood area. Baaad...

I keep seeing it at Hollywood Video, but for some reason I never rent it. I read the back of the box, determine it will suck, and then rent something good, like Highlander 2 . I never heard of anyone watching it. I might rent it sometime to get a laugh.

I think that we all know the Vertical Limit was the most accurately protrayed climbing movie ever. I can't wait for the sequel, maybe they will document the "real" way that Everest is climbed... get dropped off at basecamp at 3 in the afternoon, scramble up to the top and be back before suppertime!

Ahhh the great sport of mountaineering...... :moon

[Dru]

that is only the "real" way if you are a slovenian!!

Vertical Limit was the shit...

"There's rock, ice AND snow up there....were gonna need special equipment!"

Or was it just shit?

I still have the image of the opening scene stuck in my head though, chink chink chink slice THUD!

That opening scene was all of it that I saw (walked in after seeing another movie for a few). I was sitting there going "Now goddammit, I've got to know where this was filmed...I live in the land of Wingate, surely I'll see something that I'll recognize to tip off the locale". Then later I found out it was mocked-up on a fake wall on a soundstage or something. I sure hope my #3 Metolius never starts creaking and twisting and disentgrating and shit while I'm on it. I wonder what they paid Metolius to be able to use that? Usually it's the other way around, products pay the movie for placement, but after the BD lawsuit over the buckle in that Stallone film surely the table is turned in this case?

[Dru]

Thing I learned from that movie - Metolius cams suck when you need to make a long reach to place them and get an anchor when you are dangling from one shitty point of contact. Hugh Banner quadcams, on the other hand, work perfectly for the same type of reach.

If I was Metolius I would suspect HB paid more dough for product placement.

[Cpt.Caveman]

I like Metolius and will keep buying them. The only thing I learned was that I need to get super wasted to watch climbing hollywood flicks unless there is some skin!

[David_Parker]

Seems to me we had the start of a film script going that involved some skin. Whatever happened to "THE STORY" anyway!!!

[Scott_J]

Skin...hell I saw skin on the sides of an off width last weekend and blood up higher on the route. for once it was not mine...But is was the CAVEMAN'S. I fucking chickened out and went for the face climb at the prospect of leaving skin and blood on the Off Width. Ouch!
