I picked up a copy of this a few weeks ago. My kids were entranced by the copy running in the Patagonia store. :-) Looking forward to checking it out.

Could someone (paging Mr. Grossman)scan that "The Way It Never Was" piece that Lito wrote in Alpinist a while back? That'd add another cool dimension to this thread.

The "Night Driving" was cadged from Black Diamond who took it from Mountain Gazette. http://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en-us/journal/culture/reviews/from-the-vault-night-driving

Ed, Jay, Em, Zander, Gary...BAWC folk...now that we're all more or less around, how about a viewing? I'll make veggie empanadas to bring if someone can secure some calafate berries and cervezas.

In the spirit of Anne's Chocalateria in El Chalten we could have "chocolate caliente: adulturado" (with whiskey and chili flakes!) Hell, you carnivores could even fire up an asado.

In any case, we should gather up and hang.

A friend sent me a link to something that sounds very similar that she had streamed from Netflix. What's up with that?

Yvon's and Royal's wives were friends from Modesto who went to Yosemite to meet climbers and both married one. Maybe the blond is Liz, Royal' wife. (I didn't see the movie though.)
