Paperman – a comment on instant messages and lost thoughts?
Normally winning an oscar is a reason for me not to watch something. A friend commented on facebook that this was a fantastic short so finally I clicked. For weeks before hand I had seen the video on vimeo and thought twice about clicking.
11-Year-Old Girl Shatters Climbing Records
Climbing is in our genes. We were monkeys after all, generations ago. If you’re lucky enough to start climbing at a young age then you can resemble the girl from this video. Climbing is fun. It’s a great way to see beautiful landscapes. The Via ferrata season should be around soon and I’ll be back in the mountains every week when the weather allows.

The St Hilaire du Touvet Water fall ice climb
The first time I went to St Hilaire du Touvet was for the Coupe D’Icare event which is held every September. It is a mountain film festival and parapente competition. The second time I went was with Glocals friends to climb up the via ferrata. There are two routes up. One is an easier one. The second is a hard one. What makes the second one so hard is that it’s vertical, up a chimney of sorts. What made me uncomfortable was the friable nature of the rock. I thought that if I fell the spikes would not hold. A few weeks later I found out that this is one of the hardest via ferrata, supposedly the hardest via ferrata in France.
The video above is nothing like that. They’re climbing up the beautiful waterfall that the via ferrata goes along. I was attracted by the width of the water fall.

Impressive, and watch as people run away from the crash site. I’m not sure it makes sense.
