Flight of the Frenchies - The Movie

I do not really consider this to be an adventure but it is pretty exciting and for a movie clip it is extraordinarily well done.  I am hoping they put this documentary on line so that I can watch it free of charge.

World's Most Dangerous Trail

Only in China can you find people making trails along the side of a cliff thousands of feet off the ground.  This video is not recommended for those who are frightened of heights.  This may be an adrenaline pumping adventure but it is probably not one I will be looking to do.

Vertical Sailing Part 5

The last installment of the Vertical Sailing series.  The Wild Bunch have finished their climbing and are returning to Scotland, a 15 day sail.  Their biggest adventure was the washing/skinny dipping in the Atlantic while being dragged by the sailboat and Captain Bob.  The fantastic thing is, they would do it again and I hope so for our sake.  The sailing, climbing, and music make a wonderful and captivating adventure.

Vertical Sailing Part 4

The boys sail through some ice and head south to find more big walls. This time they walk into a fog and come out in front of a big wall. They climb until 1am and then set up what they call a shiver bivy. Sitting on top of the mountain in the wind and the cold is what mountaineers endure, it is what I call a fine and pleasant misery.

Vertical Sailing Part 3

These just keep getting better.  This time the wild bunch climb a new wall, not technically really challenging but they decided or the captain decided to climb the wall with them.  The captain is 75 years young.  I hope to be able to move like him when I am that age.

Vertical Sailing Part 2

The second of five installments of Vertical Sailing is very musical.  I am more than impressed that these men carried their instruments up a big wall and had the temerity to play them will sitting on a port-a-shelf.  So watch and enjoy I certainly did.

Vertical Sailing

Here is a video I found off the Alpinist Magazine website. This is a five part series which today I am only going to show the first video. These men have decided to go on an expedition to Greenland to climb some of the unclimbed sea walls along the coast only reachable by boat. So here is the first episode.
