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.

For those who have a passion for Scuba diving I have found a group that you will enjoy. Vimeo has a group with over 1000 members and 2800 videos related to diving. Most of these videos are warm water dives and aquatic life.

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

All I Can is a film I bought a few months ago but have not watched yet.

A trailer for a collection of videos on Via ferrata to be included with a book.

A nice documentary looking at climbing the Eiger. There are some interesting sequences and shots which could be used in a number of documentaries. Remember that this is meant to be seen on a huge screen, not your laptop.

This is one episode of a series of short videos showing people what there is to enjoy locally.
