10:36 Yep, it's a creature! FANTASTIC video. I had to stop and rewind a few times just to see the scenery again. Absolutely stunning. I used to do a lot of hiking and climbing and still have all the kit, but the knees just wouldn't make it.

The scenery is simply spectacular so I'm glad it made an impression in the film! I sympathise with your knees. I have friends who suffers and carrying heavy equipment around the mountains means I also have to be very careful - do you still hike on flatter ground? No better way to see the world!
