Banff Mountain Film Festival UK Tour About to Hit the Road

The Banff Mountain Film Festival is about to set out on its sixth nationwide tour with a selection of the world's best new climbing and adventure films. The 2015 Banff UK premiere takes place at Scotland’s largest cinema - Festival Theatre in Edinburgh on 24 January 2015.

The Banff Tour will then have more than 80 stops across the UK and Ireland - including 15 new locations.

This year's film programme features climbing in three continents with climbers Alex Honnold and Cedar Wright (Sufferfest 2) and Jeremy Collins (DRAWN).

Other film highlights include speedriding and skiing in Alaska and Patagonia, MTB in Scotland, surfing in the Arctic, slacklining in the US and paragliding through the Alps.

Salomon are launching their new range of fast and light Alpine clothing and footwear this spring, including a Gore-Tex shoe with an integral gaiter, that you can wear with a flexible crampon – and this slightly crazy looking 20 litre backpack.

Outside were invited to try out the range in Chamonix last year and we were really impressed with some of the ideas they’ve developed. So much so that you’ll be able to buy the Salomon S-LAB X ALP range exclusively from Outside until March.

To brighten up your mountain life a little, we’ve got one of the X ALP 20 packs, worth £100 to give away. And to win it you’ll have to take a few minutes to watch the video on Outside’s Salomon S-LAB X ALP 20 then CLICK HERE to enter.
