The Mystery Mountain Project-1080P

Moviecut—The Mystery Mountain Project

Concept: wicked History: awesome I once went hunting with my uncle and he forgot his sleeping bag................................................................... This is the movie.

Enjoyed this movie. Showed how we overestimate our abilities but how the drive and motivation can push us through suffering. The expedition was doomed to fail but respect for lasting so long in those conditions.

Move over Christopher Guest. Very funny spoof on mountaineers and exploration. Hilarious from the first failed kilometre until the last attempt to even get out of the valley. Loved it. Inspired by SCTV?

I can't tell you how disappointed I am that I didn't turn this off and go test my wall outlets with a fork. I want to pay less taxes knowing that this was subsidized. I'm glad they didn't make it to the mountains this would have become a rescue film.

A big shout out to Greg Gransden and crew on their latest documentary "The Mystery Mountain Project" After viewing this, one has to ask why these documentaries are so essential to expedition/mountain travel today. My answer is twofold, first history and the past pave the way to future advancements. We have seen this in outdoor clothing, technical gear, communication technology, trip planning ability and leadership. In the past like today success and goal achievement depends on it. Even today with all the advancements we still find ourselves struggling with some of the exact issues, granted on a different scale, but also seen in this documentary, I guess history does have a way of "reliving" itself. Today's outdoor enthusiasts are always looking for ways to make back country travel more effective, efficient and safer. Secondly, and what I see as being more essential is the "respect" and "dedication" aspect that outdoor adventurists have for pursuing their passion. Their respect for the environment and dedication for what it takes to achieve a goal becomes sacred. Although no one wants to relive parts of history we can appreciate the dedication and respect for what it takes to live and ultimately learn from it. Like in the documentary, not all expeditions and mountaineering endeavors today are successful, (whatever that looks like to you) but it is important to realize that success in the mountains is relative and can be seen in many different lights. What is important is that we have learned, as one day it will be the past and future outdoor travel will learn from our experiences. Holly Milne

Leave the coffee? Leave yourselves and send the coffee for more competent people. I admire the mission but despise the characters. Seems like they should at least have basic back country skills before doing a production like this.
