      Comments about Alpine Mountaineering - Basic Techniques on Mt. Rainier - DVD:

      I have only purchased two things at REI that I was truly disappointed in, and this was one of them. Looking to do Rainier next year, and seeing that Ed Viesturs was in this video, I jumped at it.

      The quality of the production is pretty poor. It looks like the cover, the artwork on the DVD, the sound quality and the effects were just done by a video hobbyist, not by a professional production company. Combine that with some real cheesiness and the fact that they provide only the basics of mountaineering, with little information about Rainier itself, and you are probably going to get more information free on the internet.

      Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
