    Film review – 127 Hours (15)
    I ONLY knew two things about 127 Hours when I entered the cinema: That it was directed by Danny Boyle; and that it’s based on the true story of a guy who cuts his own arm off.

    • ]]>     Sarah Outen is a rare female athlete in the male dominated world of ocean rowing. In 2009, aged just 23 she rowed her way into the record books by rowing solo across the Indian Ocean. An epic 3500 mile crossing by an inspirational female rower that took 124 days.

    Female Ocean RowingOcean Rowing is one of toughest of all ultra endurance sports. There being little feeling of progress or changing landscape. With that in mind Sarah’s achievement is remarkable.

    I love her spirit and enthusiasm. Watching her on video, you feel every emotion of the journey with her. The hardship and pain, the joy and exhilaration.

    The video also captures the fear and loneliness that I imagine are never far below the surface on such a voyage. Sarah was only 23 when she set out and i think it makes her achievements all the more special. I find it hard to imagine at 23 having the strength, tenacity, bravery, grit and passion that she demonstrated day after day to complete her row.

    A fantastic ocean rowing movie

    The BBC have also featured Sarah in a great short film which you can view at BBC Ocean Rowing Video

    Some opinions by CrazyJourney community “Are ocean rowers inspirational or barking mad !!!”

    Both! One of my “bucket list” items is to kayak to Skellig Michael some day…saw it on Sunrise Earth..love at first sight. :) Lori Faris-Huffer

    • ]]>     Overcoming the fear and anxiety of falling is a rock climbing skill that every climber must learn. To some climbers it comes naturally and they appear unburdened by it. While others can be paralysed by it.

    Overcoming fearSometimes this fear is justified when the position is very exposed whilst in other cases there really is little danger and our fears are more personal.

    i’m sure that, like me, you have read many books by experienced climbers and mountaineers who discuss their psychology and strategy for overcoming fear.

    One of the problems with this kind of writing is that we can’t see it in practice. Usually we read it. Think “yes thats good” maybe we even get our yellow marker out and highlight the words of wisdom then the next time we find ourselves in a position of fear it all goes out the window.

    We grip tighter, we get progressively more pumped, our legs shake and panic consumes us. I’m afraid I’m not going to offer any magic wand. But what I have found on Climbing Tribe is an old rock climbing video, (not sure how old – anyone any ideas ?) which I think gives a very practical, real life demonstration of overcoming fear and anxiety about taking a fall.

    Unlike modern films where climbers are shown making sexy moves to a background of strong music this video features a live discussion by the climbers. I found this dialogue fascinating as it reveals the essence of what is going on in the dangerous and exposed position that the climber on lead is facing.

    Interesting to note is the vocal support that the belayer provides. This is very important and can make all the difference to a climber suffering a panic attack. The belayers words and particularly his joking banter help take the lead climbers mind of the danger and his fear and allow him to REFOCUS on the problem in hand.

    Often this is all that is necessary. Almost a form of distraction which allows us to come back to the present, analyse the problem and action a solution. In a sense the belayer is sharing the problem and helping him to manage his fear.

    How do you overcome a fear of falling?

    Some other opinions by CrazyJourney community:

    Embrace “fear” its not everyday u can climb over 5k meters in snow. Its that or sit & watch a film about it.i know which i prefer www.thelongestwayhome.com

    • ]]>     Azazel TeamClimbing and mountaineering books and films often portray a very one sided image of expedition life. It is a picture of hardship, extreme conditions and death.

    Whilst there is no doubt that this is true and of course makes compelling viewing and reading.

    One only has to think about “Touching the Void” which sent shivers down my spine and had me glued to the book unable to put it down to see the commercial value of such content.

    There is however another side to expedition life and that is the sense of fun, camaraderie, excitement and sheer joy of being in the mountains, on a “project” with your mates. Isn’t that really why we do it? Yes we love the challenge, the adventure but when all said and done, it is sharing the moment and experiences with our mates that counts and forms our lasting memories.

    Azazel PakistanSuccess or failure is rarely the point, it is the smiles, the jokes, the banter, the comic accidents the “epics” that we remember and still discuss and laugh about together years later in the pub.

    I came across this fantastic climbing expedition video by 4 French guys who are climbing a Himalayan big wall in Pakistan. What struck me was the sense of fun that the video captures.

    I really felt their friendship and sense of fun. It gives a great alternative picture of expedition life. I hope you enjoy ! Don’t miss the credits they are hilarious!

An amazing kayaking trip which has a great balance between extreme conditions, beautiful surroundings and interesting local people.

    • ]]>     I was fortunate enough to see the London premier of a new documentary (Running to the Limits) examining the progress of 3 very different aspiring international marathon runners. It is a fabulous portrait and an inspirational documentary of what is possible when an ordinary man (overweight, heavy drinker & smoker) makes a personal and life changing commitment to see if he can make it as an international distance runner. At times funny and sad it is a triumph for what is possible when we truly apply ourselves. This is a must see and is being shown on UK TV Channel 4 the second week in DEC 09. (Global distribution to follow)

    I hope you enjoy this video trailer for the upcoming documentary – Running to the Limits – Please take a moment to comment afterwards and give your thoughts on the film does it inspire you to run a marathon, could you imagine undertaking the level of training necessary to reach international standard?

The darkness, the shadows, the cold, the loneliness and fatigue all play their part in sapping vital energy and motivation. There is no feeling like the joy of dawn to raise flagging spirits and banish the dark thoughts of the night before.

    • ]]>     Admitting defeat and knowing when to say enough is enough is a vital life saving skill for any adventurer who is pushing the boundaries of what the human body is capable. This doesn’t make it any easier to implement nor any easier to deal with the waiting media and sponsors on homecoming. Chris Bray and Clark Carter are two young Australian adventurers who had to face just such a situation in 2005. Their true strength and character was demonstrated when in 2008 they went back again to get the job done. Well done lads !
