This is a good film of a talented climber and musician, but a few vague words about feeling "energy" in music and climbing no more makes him a philosopher than my mum telling me to take half an aspirin and go to bed early when I was a poorly kid made her a doctor. If Nico has a PhD in philosophy then I take it back, but nothing in the film suggests that he does. Hopefully it was an over enthusiastic PR person at BD who was to blame.

Couldn't disagree with you more. The definition of Philosophy does not only cover the philosophy of science - with principles and truths etc. But also Philosophy can cover, and I quote the Dictionary definition: "A philosophical attitude, as one of composure and calm in the presence of troubles or annoyances." Life outlook and climbing style are important parts of philosophy and perhaps the most relevant parts for coverage at UKC. Jack 'not a BD PR person' I'm off to my wigwam for a bit of yoga. x
