(more)Cutting-edge climbers have turned away from Everest and the 8000-meter trophy peaks in search of virgin terrain. It's not the height of a peak; it's the sheer difficulty. It's jokingly referred to as "Disaster Style" — the world's best alpine climbers are figuring out how to do more with less. A lot less.

(more)www.hi-tec.com Liquid Mountaineering is a new sport which is attempting to achieve what man has tried to do for centuries: walk on water. Or to be more precise: running on water. We are developing the sport from scratch. By accident we found out that with the right water repellent equipment you can run across bodies of water, just like a stone skimming the surface. Liquid mountaineering is performed by professionals under professional supervision. Accordingly I must insist that attempting to do so is dangerous. We like to thank the people at Hi-Tec for their support. www.hi-tec.com

(more)Mountaineering isnt as easy as it might look. Susanne accepted the challenge and headed for the mountains in the Dolomites, Tirol. She didnt really get that far, because you won't get far without experience. Reinold Messner knows everything about climbing as he was the first man in the world to reach the top of the Mount Everest without any extra oxygen. Nowadays, Reinold owns the Messner Mountain Museum where you can find the full history of climbing.

(more)From a boy who grew up on the flatlands of Illinois, Ed has established himself as America's premier high-altitude mountaineer. He's the first American and the fifth person to summit all 14 of the world's 8000-meter peaks, all without the use of supplemental oxygen. He moved to Seattle in 1977 to study at the University of Washington and then at Washington State University, where he received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. He began guiding on Rainier with RMI in 1982 and has participated in 30 Himalayan expeditions since 1987. Here, Ed talks about the Art Of Mountaineering and why going up is optional, but coming down is mandatory.

(more)Making-of the movie "Ritmo Latino" : The story of two alpinists, Bruno Sourzac and Ramiro Calvo, bewitched by the same mountain: Cerro Torre. In the heart of Patagonia, this granite monolith rejects many suitors, even the most gifted ones. Ramiro has produced a funny and touching film of the Franco-Argentinean team making the ascent. While not a tango, the music driving the climbers is a key element in the story. Ramiro talks about how and why he made the film, underlining values dear to Argentineans: friendship, laughter and passion... More infos on : www.petzl.com

(more)www.nols.edu This course takes you to a place in Southcentral Alaska often referred to as "the mountain kingdom of North America," where a chain of rugged mountain ranges and spectacular glaciers converge to make a mountaineer's dreamscape. Within this region you'll explore the coastal Chugach Range, the interior Alaska Range, or the vast Wrangell-St. Elias Range. The specific route for each course is entirely season dependent, with expeditions in the early season climbing mostly above snow line to access terrain via huge snowfields, and courses operating in the later season completing technical ice routes on glacier. All routes on the course for students ages 17 and older are classically Alaskan with long approaches on large glaciers. The shorter course for students ages 23 and older flies directly onto a glacier to maximize time for technical skill development. Both courses provide an ideal training ground for learning to live and travel responsibly and efficiently in challenging mountain terrain.

I am going to go through a bunch of old course footage and see if I can't find out where babies really do come from. So kick back and watch"Things you should know before wandering out into the big hills" series.

The video ends in Death Valley with Manly Beacon which is located in Golden Canyon. This was an incredible series of adventures which I always tell myself "I cannot Live the Adventure of a Life Time just Once!". The video was recorded between December 2 through December 11 of 2011.
