The mountain expedition complete, we now changed direction and travelled north from Vancouver to Squamish. To this day, I still have no idea why the production company wanted to film a frightening rock climbing stunt. All I can think of, is that the footage would be used as an example of the technical prowess that the company was capable of. After all, this footage would be more likely to shatter the country into pieces, than provide the glue that would hold it together.
