Watched that programme the other night, but had forgotten to post up a link.  Was awesome at the end with the dude who just ran up it!  Well worth watching.

Yeah the guy that solo'd up it was extreme.

Although he did mention that it took him a year to train for it.

Has anyone watched the German film about the North Face?  Think it's called "Nord Wand".  I think we discussed it in another thread before, but if you found that documentary interesting then I'd highly recommend it.
