This is a very general question.
Are you after a recommendation for lightweight entertainment or a serious representation of
climbing in a movie style format? In answer to this question from "IdratherbeclimibingM9"

Either....I'm just curious...and would love to check the movies out myself

I thought Hard XS was really good! and not just your average climbing movie.

I really liked First Accent

Free Hueco and Rampage are great.

Psyche - particularly the feature on Steve McClure (not to be confused with Troy McClure).

Cold Haul.

Scary as hell hard aid in miserable conditions. Simply brutal. Every time my ego gets too healthy, I
think of those blokes to bring me back down to earth.

Afew months back ABC1 showed 'The Challanger' in the late night/early morning timeslot. What a classic.Based on the first accent of the matterhorn in 1865.And as it states at the start: " The historical facts upon which this film is based have been freely treated for the purpose of this story"

Definately, I read the book twice before seeing the movie.

There's a Committed 2? I love the first one. Makes me sweat a bit though.
