Re: [at-l] highlight of CDN Rocky trip

["Mara Factor" <m_factor@hotmail.com>]

Hi Chris,

Thanks for posting this.  I'm not usually a "me too" kind of poster but 
this one deserves to be "me too"ed.  I have seen the last three 
festivals and am very glad I'll get to this one in Boston before I start 
hiking...  I've already marked my calendar...

They always have some great films.  One of last year's highlights for me 
(having just returned from Nepal) was the documentary on the guy who 
rode his bike from Sweden to attempt an unsupported climb of Everest.  
He had some amazing footage of interviews with some of those who died in 
the Everest tragedy two years ago.
