bstach Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 +1 for The Eiger Sanction....Jemima Brown mmm hmmmm good. I thought Touching the Void was good too. Quote
sobo Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 +1 for The Eiger Sanction....Jemima Brown mmm hmmmm good. I thought Touching the Void was good too. The Eiger Sanction is quintessential Clint goodness. TtV is good! One of the best movies about "real" climbing, evuh. Quote
Tyson.g Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Jemima has got nothing on the girl that trains Hemlock for his upcoming climb. I cannot remember her name right now for the life of me. Quote
sobo Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Jemima has got nothing on the girl that trains Hemlock for his upcoming climb. I cannot remember her name right now for the life of me. Agreed! Her name is George, BTW. Plays George Kennedy's daughter in the flick. A real fine pair of Levi cut-offs, that one was... Quote
bvail Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 +1 For the Eiger Sanction! Bad ass movie, ridiculous plot, hilarious 1 liners. The climbing technique and gear are fairly accurate, minus the hip belay from the tunnel on the Eiger. Quote
sobo Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Yeah, there's that. And the crazy scene whilst training on the desert towers where Clint is supposed to be leading George Kennedy up a climb, but there are topropes above Clint. Favorite line from that scene: George: Wanna beer? Clint: You hauled beer all the way up this thing?? Geroge: Nope. YOU did! POP! fzzz POP! fzzz Clint: It's warm... George: Well, I thought you'd draw the line at hauling ice... I had that one pulled on me by a climbing bud about 10 years ago. Phil was always stuffing things in my pack when I wasn't looking. This time it was a 6-pack of Bud Lite in cans. After going through a similar conversation to the above... Me: Jeezuz, Phil! A 6-pack!!?? A whole 6-pack? Phil: Yeah, but it's "light" beer. Light, get it? Bud "Lite"... Me: Oh, Christ... Quote

sobo Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Didn't you just love seeing that ol' French technique in action again? And what was up with the woman's hair? WTF sort of 'do was that??? Quote

Light, get it? Bud "Lite"... Me: Oh, Christ... I managed so smuggle a half rack of tall boys in a noobs pack for an overnighter. That said, he only had a sleeping bag and some extra clothes so his pack was still only about 1/3 the weight of mine. He was pretty shocked when I pulled one out and popped it open. Quote
sobo Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Ya gotta love it when someone else hauls your toddies for ya, don'cha? Especially if they don't know it... Quote

Wallstein Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 My girlfriend was the stunt double for the ninja in yellow in GI Joe. Can't wait to see the whole thing. Also a bunch of Canadian climbers were responsible for a lot of the rigging that went into the mountain stunts. Quote

I'll bet she had a ton'o'fun filming that scene. Just watched Eiger Sanction again last night. Something about that Dr. Hemlock/Jemima Brown dynamic that never gets old... Quote
