Does any one out there remember seeing this film?. I saw it at a movie theater in the early '70's (ahem, if I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself ).

It was about 20 minutes long, no narration, some middle age guy (AHEM), aid soloing, got the feeling it was Europe but aren't sure.

Guy was doing some amazing things, I would love to find a copy on tape or something, anybody seen it or have a source????

Best Climbing Wishes,

Jeff

Hi,
New to this board. Noticed your post.

Yes, I do remember this (great) movie. They showed it to us in school, and I know it was the things that inspired me to get into climbing.

It took a while, but I did find a copy on video. Problem is, I can't remember exactly where/how I got it.

But I took a look a the box, and got this information for you. The video was done by:
Pyramid
PO Box 1048
Santa Monica CA. 90406
(213) 828-7577 (the area code may now be 310)

If worse comes to worse, I'll dupe you a copy if you can't find it anywhere.

Hey JDS, have you seen it?

For anyone out there that hasn't, it is a GREAT film, blew my mind when I saw it and have never forgotten.

And to Cormac, thanks for the post, I'll try to contact them.

Jeff
