That's a good one. The cinematography on this one still blows me away.....

I've watched the full-length version. It's awesome. Chicks climbing hard alpine stuff. awesome. No chest beating. Perfectly humble, fun-looking stuff in spectacular settings. Awesome.

...oh yeah. No shitty music either. Awesome.

Where did you get a chance to see the whole length version? I'd definitely buy this if I could, beautifully done.

Has anyone seen this film called The Asgard Project? It looks interesting, but could be just another group of adrenaline junkies getting their game on.

Luc,

I think you can watch Beyond Gravity online for free still (hulu?). Check out my gear review on it, I posted the links to the site on the page. Its a good film and definitely worth the watch.

Touching the Void was good (book much better) but they spent way to much time showing the guy crawling along the glacier/ice/snow to get down.

Just saw North Face (Nordwand) and really liked it. K2 is another one I really liked.

Higher Ambitions is one of the best climbing movies:

I concur, I have watched all the episodes of seasons 1 - 3 and they are pretty darn good. Seems as if Russell Brice is a good guide, truly looks out for the welfare of his climbers. Looking forwards to the upcoming series.
