Thanks, Mike. Great to hear it.
My agent has been trying ... haven't heard the latest. Plus a copy was sent to Mariella Frostrup separately, a few weeks ago. We have a publicist chasing that up.
Yes, ages ago.... And to Banff ...

We do actually have a TV producer interested, but again, I haven't heard anything for a while. There are two big problems of a movie version 1) the story is mostly about internal thoughts and emotions 2) to have 'actors' on the actual route, in similar conditions that we experienced, would be desperately dangerous. That gully is fantastically exposed to rock fall. Also, the descent route we used is also in a v bad state at the moment (well, it was in 2009) as a result of recent avalanches. There are a lot of fantastically dangerous perched boulders piled on top of each other. We tried going up it in 2009 for about 400 feet but turned back.
