Just a quick reminder that there is still time to enter the contest I’m currently running to win one of two copies of the film North Face on BluRay disc. The 2010 film was just released in high-def on Tuesday but if you’re lucky, you can score a cope courtesy of the Adventure Blog.
In my opinion, the movie is one of the finest climbing films to come out in some time. It tells the true story of German climbers Toni Kurz and Andi Hinterstoisser, who attempted to make the first ascent of the North Face of the Eiger in Switzerland. Along the way they find themselves in a competition with a pair of Austrian climber, only to find themselves joining forces as they struggle to survive just to get off the mountain alive. It is a great film with fantastic landscapes, excellent cinematography and solid acting. Chances are if you’re reading this blog, you’re going to really like it.
To enter the contest all you have to do is drop me an email at kungfujedi@gmail.com with a subject of “North Face.” Then, in the body of the email, tell me what mountain the men in the film are climbing. That’s it! Do that, and you’ll be entered to win. On Friday afternoon I’ll pick two winner and get these DVD’s shipped out as soon as possible.
Good luck! Oh! And here’s the movie’s official trailer to give you a better idea of what it’s about.

Cool competition Kraig.. I'm guessing the BluRay is US-region coded only and not much good to me here in Australia unfortunately?
Hamish: There is no indication on the case which region it is listed for and many BluRay players are region free. It's worth a shot! 🙂
