On the 8th of January 2009 the 502 team has been part of the pre screening of the stunning and breathtaking film produced by Gerald Salmina, close friend and camera man of most of Felix accomplished projects.

VERTICAL RUSH - is a story about four very different characters... three of them men, one a mountain.

This is the story of the longest ski run of the world. Three ski mountaineers try to defeat the fourth protagonist, Mt. St. Elias. His characteristics: wild, cold and relentless. A metaphor for an everlasting struggle: Man struggling against nature, which in turn is an inextricable struggle against one’s self, against the own psyche.
