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

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.
