let me start by saying that I think TTV is by far the best climbing movie I've ever seen ... but ...
Watching "Return to Peru" in the special features, I couldn't help but believe the director tried too hard to elicit something provocative from Simon Yates (who followed up Siula Grande with a not too shabby climb, the North Face of the Eiger). Yates was apparently disgusted by these repeated attempts and washed his hands of the project.
was just a little reminder for me to employ a skeptical eye to "reality" presented on video.
