Wow! I didn't know that!

It was mentioned in a 'making of' documentary called Dangerous Days. It came with my copy of the film as part of a two part special edition, very interesting viewing.

Anywayssss, here's some facts about climbing.

Czech climber Martin Tlusty survived a terrifying 1000 ft (305 m) fall down the side of a mountain in Slovakia in 2005.

Frenchman Christian Taillefer cycled down a glacier at 132 mph in Vars, France, in 1998.

Swiss authorities wrap some mountain glaciers with aluminium foil in the summertime to stop them from melting.

When Mount St. Helens in Washington State, the highest peak in the U.S.A, erupted in 1980, the avalanche on the north slope reached speeds of 250 mph.

Hadn't heard this version before. I want this to be my themetune! WOW!!

the 8bit makes me think of the coolest video game i never owned really well done too considering how limited that sound is

thanks for the facts about climbing rabbitears.. but how on earth did that guy survive?

Also, you can still find ash on the sides of the highway in eastern Washington from this eruption.

(although there's not much to see at the moment)

was checking out volcanoes, saw a great 'before & after' picture of st. helens, 2 years after actually but anyways.
The last full-scale eruption of the Yellowstone Supervolcano, the Lava Creek eruption which happened nearly 640,000 years ago,ejected approximately 240 cubic miles (1,000 km3) of rock and dust into the sky.
The Island Park Caldera supereruption (2.1 million years ago), which produced the Huckleberry Ridge Tuff, was the largest and produced 2,500 times as much ash as the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption.

on a side note i've toured pompeii & stood atop vesuvius, took a rock back home from the top too but i think it's lost now

would've posted this earlier but got distracted by mountains & Fudo
trying to find Fudozaka atm.
