Is there a full movie of this some where? I found some clips on youtube and they are about the most indescribable thing I've seen.

Damn...Evolution Revolution is pretty crazy. I appreciate how different its approach is but it kinda reminds me of "The Ring", like if I watch the whole thing I might lose my mind.

I stand corrected. Is this more to your liking Mike? "Evolution-Revolution is an old VHS featuring Lkem Loskot, a climbers vid, not a Hollywood production."

I don't think Klem made that flick unless he used a pseudonym.

"K2", a hollywood production, has some good climbing footage, albeit with some screwy technical stuff.

Touching the Void. We all know the story but it is filmed and acted really well. You can almost feel the pain.

Americans on Everest - can be found on Youtube - makes High and Hallowed look stupid and way over produced.

I know "K2" has been mentioned but check out "K2: Siren of the Himalayas". More of a documentary about the 2009 disaster.
