Ski-Gliding the Eiger

This looks totally rad and I want to try it! Looks like it would take lots of practice to be good at. The mountain, the Eiger, is in the Swiss Alps and is the setting for the movie "Beckoning the Silence". I watched this movie tonight at the Boulder Theatre. It is quite a story about four young men who tried to be the first to climb the North Face of the Eiger in 1936. Definitely worth watching.

This is an AWESOME video!
Makes me wonder if doing something so daring and adventurous is simply beyond me now.
What is different between the guy who is doing it and me?
What will I feel if I was doing it?
