Maybe it comes from climbing / hiking a lot, but when I see a beautiful mountain, my first thought is not "how can I damage this wonderful peak for my personal profits".
Life is a mountain, not a beach.

Yeah, no nitroglycerin. Maybe movie goers these days have such short attention spans that they wouldn't sit through watching someone hammer pitons?bonehead wrote:Wow! thanks for the reference.Gareth wrote:Reminds me a lot of this movie: The Mountain
I haven't seen or thought about that movie in years.
Great character movie and the climbing scenes
were realistic enough, not like the hokey crap
thrown at us these days.
