Twice upon a time in Bolivia
David Halsted (2004)
Three no-hopers from Lancashire's grimmest corner (Burnley) head out for Bolivia's Cordillera Real in search of 6000-metre glory. This hysterical journey begins with acclimatization problems, when one member turns into a "scouse wookey" (imagine Chewbacca born in Liverpool). A stunning mountain route on Pequin Alpamayo takes a sideline to the deadpan Northern humour used to overcome bandits, frostbite, and endless hours at base camp.- 2004

Storms - The movie
Alastair Lee (2005)
This anarchic comedy parodies the hard-core rock-jock mountaineering scene. Finally, a climbing film without any climbing or narrative, in this hysterical analysis of the modern climbing ethic. The onslaught of comedic sketches mirrors the achievements of our heroes. Features a battle scene, superheroes, villains, insane caricatures, short animations, and film parodies. Visually stunning, very funny and slightly risqué - an experimental climbing comedy falling off the edge. The film is composed of different shorts. One of them is a parody of Joe Simpson's Touching the Void ('Touching Myself').- 2005
