FRI NIGHT VID - Velocity: Ice Climbing in Cogne

© UKC News

Tonight's super-cool Friday Night Video is one for the ice climbers. Arc'teryx athletes Matthias Scherer and Tanja Schmitt are joined by Franz Walter (storyteller, editor) and Hans Hornberger (cameraman) in Cogne, Italy to explore an artistic view into a frozen world.

"The essential is our spirit, guiding our souls from season to season, we train, we commit, we progress. We follow our centuries-old code, unuttered and unwritten."

Enjoy this mesmerising insight into the discipline of ice climbing and get psyched for winter!

Why do people insist on ruining climbing films with pseudo-philosophical nonsense, Arc'teryx seem especially guilty of this

I agree as soon as I start tto hear such crap I turn it off. Espicallywhen its in bouldering videos, they driven me mad.

A 6 minute climbing film with 50 seconds of climbing in it and a hole load of bullshit !

They cynic in me would say that obviously the answer is to take your mind off the fact that they are trying to flog you an anorak - but of course I'm not really that cynical. ;) I think actually Arcteryx have sponsored some really great climbing short films, and we wouldn't get to see them without the company paying for them, but this one isn't one of the best. I love ice climbing, so just want to see more Tanja and Matthias actually climbing because they are both superb ice climbers. We could lose the close up of eyes staring, or heads being raised in slow-mo etc. etc.
