European Outdoor Film Tour comes to UK for 1st time in Nov

The European Outdoor Film Tour is coming to the UK for the first time ever this November.  The 2 hour programme features 8 short films and documentaries. It tells the stories of adventurers and outdoor athletes whose curiosity is stronger than their fear of the unknown or their own failure: of climbers, slackliners, wingsuit flyers, mountain bikers and snowboarders who live on the edge to pursue the most intense moments of their life. It includes 2 great climbing films: A New Perspective (8 mins) For many years Austrian David Lama has dominated the field of international climbing. But now it's time he raises the level once again. In July 2012 he set out with climbing partner Peter Ortner to face the Nameless Tower, part of the Trango Towers in the Karakoram mountain range, in a remote region of Pakistan. Together they attempt a free climb of the Eternal Flame route, one of the most notoriously challenging routes in the climbing world, made famous in 2009 by renowned German climbers The Huber brothers. At 6000 metres conditions are extreme, it's bitterly cold, even in the height of summer the snow doesn't melt. With minimal gear they begin their summit bid accompanied by climber and cameraman Corey Rich who captures an insight into the Lama's climbing progression. With additional sweeping shots from Davide Tiraboschi piloting a radio control Dedicam results in unique panoramic views from the huge Pakastani mountain range. The Shark's Fin (22 mins) The Shark's Fin, on the peak of Meru in Central India an elusive technically challenging route for the most accomplished climbers has been a life long mission for Conrad Anker and the climb of their life for his team mates Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk. For Renan it is only the second ascent of over 9000 metre granite wall and a journey back to his climbing life before a serious skiing accident only 5 months before. Despite disbelief from his doctor that he can climb so soon after a backbone and skull injury Renan perseveres with disciplined rehabilitation. He can count on the absolute support of Conrad and Jimmy on the mountain but his biggest opposition will be his own body.
