Weekend Warrior: Videos to Get You Stoked!
It is that time again. Time t0 throw off the suits and ties (or
whatever you wear to work) and dawn our respected suits of outdoor
armor. Whether it be shorts and t-shirt for some classic cragging or
the full-on gore-tex tux for some hardcore alpine endeavors...whatever
you wear the important thing is getting out there and playing outside.
To help you get psyched we've got a few great videos for you.
The
first is the trailer for the seldom seen classic climbing movie "Take
it to the Limit". I watched this last night and was simply amazed at
the filmmaking and acting quality. If you haven't seen it yet, watch it
and be prepared to laugh...a lot!
The
second video is from another classic piece of climbing cinema,
"Cliffhanger". Whenever I see footage from this movie I was wonder what
type of impact Sylvester would have had on the climbing world if he
hadn't went the Hollywood route. I mean, you can't fake this
footage...right?
And
last but certainly not least...Vertical Limit! This film is quite
possibly Chris O'Donnell's finest work...which I realize isn't saying
much (I apologize ahead of time to all three of his fans). After all,
only the best of the best could pull off the high flying chasm jump at
the end of this trailer, talk about shoulder and grip strength!
