The best new video/film
of 2002:
Murph Goes to K2 by
Billy Pierson, K2 Summiter
 |
In a
departure from the typical expedition documentary,
this video chronicles the attempt of the
International K2000 Expedition to climb K2's
Abbruzzi Ridge. Narrated by a six-inch Gorilla
named Murph, who attempts to be the first of his
species to ascend the mountain, this often
humorous look at an otherwise serious undertaking
offers stunning views of the route and
surroundings, as well as introducing the viewer to
the colorful Pakistanis who essential to the
success of the trip. |
Voted " Best
Mountaineering Film" at the Vancouver Int'l Mountain
Film Festival 2002. This film is produced By American
Billy Pierson who reached the Summit of K2 on 7/30/00
as part of Gary Pfisterer's expedition. The film is
about 56 minutes...
Readers of
EverestNews.com: This is by FAR the best K2 movie we
have ever seen. As you know most were not even made
near K2 and well are real bad (most people use not PG
rated words to describe K2 films). This movie shows
you K2 up close by the climber who made the Summit and
has the film to prove it.

Expedition, readers love this guy's style of

The best new route in
2002 on a 8000 meter peak?
Jean-Christophe Lafaille
and Alberto Inurrategui Summit Annapurna
While not totally new,
no one before them ascended and then descended that
route before. Frankly, no other 8000 climb in 2002 was
even close in our opinion....
