The thing that gets me about "Cliffhanger" is Stallone doing all that cold-weather climbing in a tee-shirt. Loved the scenery, though. Karen

I believe this is the one that was filmed on Whitehorse.

Ive never seen it, but that looks like it. Good one Dicey. Ya, Stalone did all that sub freezing work in a *cotton* tee shirt too. That guy (to his credit) has like 2% body fat. He wouldnt make it in those conditions.

found on da'Net clown.gif The top ten lines you can always count on in a mountain-climbing movie: 1. "We have to move fast. We've started late in the season. But if we leave behind the oxygen and most of our equipment and travel light, we can get up there and back before the winter storms." 2. "I know they're still alive." 3. "Leave me here. I can't walk. My legs are broken. By yourself, you have a chance." 4. "Just let me do this one last climb. Then I'll settle down with you and the baby." 5. "Tell them they'll get an extra 50 rupees a day, at the end, if they complete this part of the march." 6. "Sahib! The fresh snow has covered up the crevices! The men say they will go no further today!" 7. "Every previous expedition along this route has had trouble with the porters." 8. "I'd trust him on the other end of my rope." 9. "Take me along. You know I'm a better climber than those guys." 10. "Because it's there."
