What a beautiful, thoughtful, poetic short movie, so different from most mountaineering and climbing movies, which are typically so egotistical and shallow.

Excellent video, made my day. The chap is obviously very aware of his surroundings and has a deep respect for Mother Nature and loves what he does. Very poetic and makes me wish more people had the same outlook on life as he does. More of this type of thing please :)

Sorry, but the commentary is just icky.

Poetic? Hmmm? I must be getting cynical in my old age but I tend not take the voice overs like that too seriously. There's nothing wrong with it and I suspect for me the words suffer from their proximity to a list of sponsors. Fransson comes over as a smart and nice guy as well, but IIRC he did a film about a friend who was killed which felt stronger than this. The footage is amazing but I disagree with you also about climbing films being so different. There have actually been a number of internet released climbing shorts I've seen recently that tend to cover similar ground aesthetically and philosophically, and that have been great (as long as I dial down my cynicism and try to ignore the Arcteryx logo coming up at the end of the paean to the dirtbag/authentic life). Has anyone been listening to Grayson Perry giving the Reith Lectures? They've all been great but also cover many things I think about watching films like this one. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00729d9
