The best climbing movie ever made. Awesome soundtrack. Lord, I miss climbing. I'd pay good money for this sound track.

[@TheOuttabody]

Unfortunately, the movie version (Chaz Jankel's version) of the soundtrack does not exist. Why? The movie version of the soundtrack was composed by Chaz Jankel, but (according to what I know) he was fired from the production. Maybe Chaz Jankel resigned. Who knows!?! Whatever Chaz Jankel was created was used for the movie at the time. And the movie studio hired no-good!, hyped!, exaggerated! "hans zimmer" to rewrite the soundtrack for the movie. Basically, hans zimmer was "paid" to F*** it up! Then the soundtrack for the movie turned into "classical tone" with some guitar here and there. Here is my 2 cents! The hans zimmer version is a joke that I would not even find worthy enough to piss on, compared to what originally Chaz Jankel created. For whatever petty reason, If the movie studio did not want to work with "Chaz Jankel". Fine! I get it! But at least they should have hired the best musician, who could, not only!, pull this off, but also take Chaz Jankel's performance to another "epic" level. The movie studio should have hired "GIORGIO MORODER", not a joke called "hans zimmer"! Thank God the movie studios, at least, used Chaz Jankel's music for the movie version.

[@brandonreyes9587]

I agree, it certainly has an 80s vibe or just that long guitar sustain

[@420van01]

Climbing large mountains is not glamorous at all. This movie depicts that nicely. Physical effort is 50% Mental effort is 50% Skill is the rest; yes I said the rest. Whether you summit often depends on how bad you want the summit. It’s sheer will power and that accomplishment becomes a part of you forever. It changes you forever. Remember though getting to the top is optional, getting back down is mandatory. Safe climbing everyone and remember to always trust your instincts.

[@MKActual.]

Shine On You Crazy Diamond!!!

[@hejboomer4495]

Absolutely right. On the first riff I thought it was Pink Floyd for sure. Very similar and equally powerful.

[@mikedaniels1111]

Such a beautiful, amazing score for this movie. This is one of those great films where the music truly meets and then raises the bar. And as much as I love Hans Zimmer, his music for this could not have touched this Chaz Jankel score.

[@scottwalker9095]

i wish they would have released this score on cd. I agree, Hans Zimmer is amazing, but this score made the movie. I've seen the movie with the zimmer score and it sucked, although had some extra scenes that i thought showed more of Taylor's character and what an asshole he was.

[@svetlanavlasova2061]

The movie exists in two versions: American and European. This audio is from European version of the movie.

[@420van01]

I have this movie on DVD. Will never get rid of it. I also have the full sized movie poster as well. The acting in this movie is full on REAL. No faking the climbing scenes, as you feel the bravery and strength of the climbers. You also feel the spirit of the climbers; nothing is impossible for a true climber. I've climbed the places in the movie that were filmed in British Columbia for this film; I used to live in Vancouver BC where climbing was an integral part of my life back then. I attempted Everest but got altitude sickness and had to come down. Climbing is one of truest self-reflective things one can do that truly tests your medals and the ability to overcome your own fears and self-doubt. You're balancing on the fine line between bravery/confidence/climbing skills VS risk/death/unknowns every time you go up there. Whether or not you make the summit, every climb attempt forever changes you. Safe climbing to all, make your dreams come true!

[@420van01]

I have this full sized original movie framed on my home office wall. 1991 was a great year for movies. This is one of my top favourite 3 all time movies.

[@brianwitzel9549]

I remember watching this as a kid when it first came out. I immediately picked up on the sick guitar solos. It inspired me to learn guitar. Too bad they don’t have these songs by themselves.

[@BudFraze]

It got me into solos when I was younger. Later on I heard Shine on You Crazy Diamond and I immediately thought of this movie. 🎸

I wanna start saying Thank you so much for posting this, my birthday is in a week from now and I’ve realized the nostalgia gets more intense the older we get…. My old man bought me the VHS of K2 back in 91 and it had a huge impact in my life, not only just for the bad ass music but it also taught me the value of real friendship. Harold and Taylor 😍🥺🤯

[@unclejams4311]

Its a drag that the soundtrack was never released, but i actually kinda like it with all the climbing sound effects in there

[@peterjanoshazi7519]

love that movie and music, great combination. much better atmoshere achieved than in that new blockbuster Everest.

[@ChristianLanctot]

The best soundtrack ever!!!!!

[@davidmcginnis2075]

First time I heard this, I thought it was pink Floyd? I guess not.?

[@4u21nder]

My buddy and I rented this after it first came out on video. Miles better than the later mountain movies that followed such as Vertical Limit or Stallone's Cliff Hanger. With no soundtrack released and no internet (yet) no one really knew who the song was by. I thought it was Roger Waters at first myself. Chaz Jankel is really an underrated musician. "Number One" off the Real Genius soundtrack was one of my favorite songs in the 80s.

[@BillyLintzenich-wf7sk]

I have this on vhs that i bought in the early 90's. Its a must see movie.

[@bladerunner2434]

Best friendship movie ever!

[@davidbutler1857]

Probably the best climbing film, even if it wasn't super accurate. It gives you a good idea of the travel needed to reach some of these high peaks and while it minimized the actual summiting efforts, it honestly didn't need to. Best part of the film though was the two main characters bonding as they endured the summit and treacherous descent and rescue. Honestly liked Taylor's character and also that of Dallas in this film (played by Bercovici who also played a similar asshole in 'American Flyers'), because these two guys are like a lot of dudes I knew when I raced bikes who were very goal oriented and winner take all types. Kinda worthwhile to watch American Flyers just to see a bit more of that Dallas character's type.

[@KenSwiss]

I recorded this music off the movie on my cassette tape... this score is just amazing and watched the VHS tape so much that I wore it out. Such a great childhood memory. Thanks for making it clear and digital to listen to now.

Can't believe "shine on you crazy diamond" hasn't been mentioned in here. Plenty of the licks are basically the same, and the keyboard and guitar tone are the literal same. Supposedly the guitar parts were recorded by someone who played with Roger Waters. Makes sense

the whole thing screams Pink Floyd. David Gilmour should sue

[@vadimarushanov2246]

Damn, I thought I was the only one who noticed Pink Floyd vibe in this soundtrack.....😄

[@JohnStewartPhotography]

I noticed this too several years ago when I was searching for the opening song. It seems to me that Hans Zimmer and Pink Floyd collaborated together? Not sure but it does sound like part I of Shine On You Crazy Diamond. I really love the music in the opening scene!! I’m gonna listen to the rest of the part of this song. Here’s the link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/boa7mqWZjZiJmq8

Peter Haycock and Nickolas Glennie-Smith along with Hans Zimmer. Is what I’m coming up with so far for the music score. Peter Haycock did the guitar in Thelma & Louise movie. Look him up Wikipedia. The link is in my above post.

If you like this guitar work, I'd recommend the Roy Buchanan album "You're not Alone" - there are a couple of tracks in a very similar vein - and Roy's work was from the late 1970s. A chunk of this album was also b/g music in Sagan's Cosmos series.

[@ChrisShredGuitar]

Thanks man !!!! I searched so hard for that score !! This is such an atmospheric soundtrack !

[@ChristianLanctot]

Reason why no OST? Not too sure but I do know there's 2 different sountracks for the film. This one is by Chaz Jankel and is by far one of the best "Mountaineering" soundtracks ever. Chaz's music is on the U.S. theatrical and VHS releases while the other "digustingly thrown together too fast" soundtrack was by Hans Zimmer for the European release. And Zimmer's soundtrack could be found in stores at the time. But Chaz's never made it. Again, stupid studio politics ruined it for the rest of us! Now we can't get the soundtrack and we have to listen to youtube rips. Studio executives are so damn dumb!

+Eric Friel However, Hans Zimmer's european release soundtrack did make it to stores as the "official OST" but it sucked so bad, it was a complete flop. Even Europeans were trying to get a hold of U.S. bootleg VHS tapes so they could watch the film with the good soundtrack!

[@ChristianLanctot]

Let me tell you this: no matter what effects you put in, you can't get a fender to sound like a Gibson. I never got "bad to the bone" to sound right because I play a strat. Also, ask Van Halen if any other guitars sound like his frankenstrat!
