Training for Alpine Mountaineering

Last week while rowing to the tune of an old VHS tape, I stumbled across this movie scene, and thought it a good trial-run of the new gizmo the school bought. The "Flip" is the size of an iPod and captures two hours of high definition video which you can drag and drop onto your computer without any adapters or cables. This two minute video has important tips - from Clint Eastwood's Eiger Sanction - on how to get fit for your next trip to Yosemite, the Sierras, Alps, or Peru. It is particularly pertinent for older climbers ... fossils.
