Here is a film about a 2019 climbing team sponsored by Eddie Bauer. It recently came out on YouTube so it's new to me. Maybe you as well. It is sorta an Eddie Bauer shameless advert but it is mostly about the climbing. Not great but still pretty good. Well I liked it enough but YMMV.

That was great*, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for the link. up.gif * There were two occasions when they were talking about K2, but were showing K1 (Masherbrum). e.g. Around the 30min mark, when they reach Camp IV for their overnighter and talk about changing weather conditions on the summit, they show K1's summit. dizzy.gif

Amazing. I think the craziest part is that they had the strength and resolve to get the promotional statement out, even if it was the whole reason for the trip.

Thanks for that. I enjoyed watching it lot. There was a bunch of product placement, but it didn't detract from the story and expeditions like this are costly and need sponsors.
