I love the climbing in the eiger sanction. the movie is dated though and I can do without the homophobia. Yay, yay, I'm pc like that.

Kinda takes a bit away from it watching all the repeat ascents as of late.

On Sight is a new dvd coming out, I believe I linked the trailer earlier on?

Gotcha, I was thinking of another movie coming out called the Sharp End. So we were both right.

I will never watch a movie called "Splitter." Never.
You've got to have standards!
the term "Rockumentary" loses points in my book as well. WTF is this? VH1?

The best feature film about climbing is K2. Great film and it is the only film I've seen that didn't make climbing look stupid. U know, Cliffhanger & Vertical limit Stupid.
Dosage IV for non feature climbing DVD.

Eiger Sanction (posted above) is very good... the climbing is very dated (static ropes and body belays) and is on Netflix (again posted above.)
K2... is great, turns out I was wrong and it is on DVD:
http://www.amazon.com/...-Biehn/dp/B00005MM67
I know most the posting has been about climbing videos... which are fun... but other "movies" that are good.... I cannot think of any.

Probably no one has heard of it over here but a great Irish trad film called underdeveloped is definately my favourite and not just from national pride.
The site is underdevelopedireland.com, if you've seen the on-sight trailer this one is a low budget film mainly featuring the lad taking the huge upsidedown whipper in the onsight trailer.

Yeah, but it takes awhile before you see any splitter climbing because they have to wait for splitter weather and splitter temps.
