Hi folks!

A few days ago, the PBS show "Frontline" featured a documentary film
which was, in fact, nothing less than a mountain film! Indeed, in
many ways it was very similar to the early Arnold Fanck films, with
the only difference being that it's a true story (and done in a
documentary style, of course, with real footage, interviews, etc.). I
must say, that it really was extremely well done and right up our
alley (those of us interested in the early mountain films and/or
mountain climbing in general, at least), and was both thrilling and
chilling (literally!) to watch.

You can now watch the entire film online, and find more information
about it, at...
