I was thinking before but it depends what suits people I suppose - hate sitting through a film hungry!

The Mantas are still too shiny and I'll not look like a proper Mountaineer, I might as well wear a North face coat  ;D

Sweet! leg day in the gym today and I've completely annihilated myself (not to mention 2 days with that brute of a pack last weekend) so I couldn't be more ready for this

Well, any good?  Love that kind of stuff, but couldn't have made it.

It was really very good. A different world from how the documentaries discuss everest today.
The clothing and equipment they were using was all very heavy and basic - you can't help but think it was twice as hard or more for them back then than it would be today.

The film was a bit eccentric in places, but very enjoyable indeed
