Looking for Jeff Lowe's alpine ice video

[cookiejar]

I am interested in watching "Alpine Ice: Jeff Lowe's Climbing Techniques" but it doesn't seem to have a DVD version. I can't find a VHS player. Does anyone know of any digitial version? Thanks.

I presume you've tried Chessler... if it doesn't exist there, it probably doesn't exist...

I've looked everywhere and also sent an email to Jeff to ask if he had plans to release it to digital (no response)

Yes I checked Chessler and they don't have it

 

I sent my VHS player to a goodwill store last time I moved. I didn't expect I'd ever need it again. Oh well, time to borrow a VHS player, I guess.

wow bringing back an old thread. I used to have it on VHS and wanted my girlfriend to watch it. Now the VHS is worth $$$ on ebay and no torrrents.

 

 

I can't find my my vhs and would love her to watch this

 

anyone know were it can be viewed on newer formats?

I loved that video, used to watch it on boring cardio machines. Mine mysteriously disappeared 5+ years ago...

That video also featured many excellent examples of what not to do while ice climbing. Such as:

 

- using your ice tool as a belay anchor.

- stacking screws, not only useless but time and energy intensive.

- confusing belay commands, "Okay, Bird, we're safe."

- using Snargs "the dreaded pound-in" (Jeff, was that a euphemism?)

 

It had some memorable narration:

"Drink deep of the heady wines of climbing in the canyon" or something like that.
