Yeah, it's a great film. Some Scottish winter climbing history (focused on a week in which Jimmy Marshall climbed a ton of stuff on Ben Nevis), and the modern day repeats by Dave McLeod are kind of a feel good romp. Definitely worth seeing.

Emmett, thanks much, sounds great. Where can I find this?

Thouh I'm not sure whether or not he's shipping to US

You can also get the digital download version from Hot Aches.
hotaches.com/climbing-films…

Note that they usually run a promo each winter - in the past I've used it as an excuse to buy far too many climbing films. Good stuff from Hot Aches.

One more thing about the Pinnacle - the soundtrack is rad. I'd never heard of The Old Dance School before, but now I have all their albums. Speaking of which... I think I'll listen to one of them now.

a video I made several years ago of climbing Mt. Hood's north face. I am the leader (orange pants) not the go pro-er.

so far i've got 300 views and one 11 year old girl has commented. she calls it "boring".

I also made the music, which I will admit, does add to the boringness of the video.

I call it mixed, he's using a north wall hammer.

Anybody know of a way to watch Cloudwalker?

I did some internet digging and found... nothing. No torrent. No release. No nothing. It was a tv movie in 1985, so I am not expecting much. However, there was a screening 2 years ago in Banff.
EDIT: just figured out that it was a natgeo explorer episode (season 1 episode 87), but still no leads on an actual copy.

Some incredible old Alex Lowe footage. The dude was so far ahead of his time it's almost comical.

Valdez in Alaska was a ice climbing hot spot in the 90 (?) but then it fell asleep again like Rip von Winkle but that seems to change again:

actually, having only learned about valdez in jan, I am currently here visiting from California and we had a blast in the hole-in-the-wall canyon with pretty good ice! more to come I hope!

Stumbled across this youtube channel yesterday ( youtube.com/user/Tyler1330 ) and it's amazing. Tyler does some sick ice cragging in the Canadian rockies!
