Mount St. Elias Movie

Post by Jeff Valliere »

I just stumbled upon this movie on Netflix, documenting a quest to climb/ski Mt. St. Elias:

I was not able to find any mention of it here, so figured I would share. It is pretty amazing footage/climbing/skiing/storytelling, I highly recommend!

I've watched it three times! It's amazing

We watched it a few weeks ago. Definitely enjoyed. What a hell of ski line! Main dude seems like a massive douchebag though. I would've punched him in the groin a few times

But his accent is fun to listen to...I remember thinking, I want this guy to read bedtime stories to me every night.

I recall it made it to the Breckenridge Film Festival where a climber and producer showed up.
