Found the trailer on the tube, a whopping 5 seconds of the Duke pole climbing.

 

Have a gander @ 55 seconds.

The climber was called Hap Johnson, the film was shot in 1978 in British Columbia, I think this is the original.

'sometimes a great notion' or 'never give a inch'... great film. but almost impossible to get a copy of (only the odd vhs floating around)...

 

paul newman didnt like the film and pretty much pulled it from circulation (he owned the film rights etc, and wouldnt let it be re-released on dvd) shame..

 

This is a clip from the film.
