    incredible. To start with when I saw it was going to be over 20 mins of photos, I was about to skip, then I saw the quality and the way that every pic had a story to tell. Amazing, who ever took them pics, definitely has a talent.

    Loved the use of stills as the primary conveyance of the experience. And the brief flash of video (the dancing) was perfect. Just a dash of movement at that moment was inspired. A great video. Have you considered entering this in the Banff Mountain Film Festival? I would think it would be perfect for that. Kudos to all who made this wonderful film!
