I know the whole story but am too beat up to explain it tonight. In the meantime this is a fun little trailer, soon to be a film, about the history of a route on a very famous sandstone tower. As a side note, the boys who are depicted in the film all ended up in the Terezin concentration camp for plotting against the Nazis. Two of them died there. The route is now considered hard 5.10. 1939.

I just attended the Teplice Mountain Film festival as they showed "Jump!" at the opening ceremony in honor of Zorka Prachtel. It was amazing and a real honor. Anyhow the film these guys put together won the Peoples Prize! It's totally cool and really well done. I hope they get it out to western audiences. A f*#king awesome film. I really wish more films were made about our history. Sadly there's no money for it unlike the funding our European counterparts seem to have at their disposal. And product placement free to boot.

I just found this. Yes they are speaking German. The first ascent of the spire was done by Germans. The second ascent Czechs. That's what the film is all about. Anyhow I hope it makes its way to North America at some point.
