Romsdals Budstikke Nett (RBNett) online newpaper yesterday carried a feature showing the development of an NRK Slow TV project for a rock climbing Minutt for Minutt. It would concern climbing the more than one kilometre sheer rock face of the Trollveggen - or Troll Wall mountain. One could imagine that instead of being the relaxing journey associated with Slow TV, it would be a sustained adrenaline cliff hanging exercise.
"We think it is a good idea and have begun talking with climbers, rescue groups and police to find out if there is a realizable idea, says Thomas Hellum, project manager for the broadcast. We will have a planning meeting with potential partners at the end of this month, said Hellum - stressing that it is primarily security determines whether there will be any project."

Absolutely. Imagine the risk assessment form for this and controlling the hazards to the participants.
