I would like to see the version of this video that hasn't been horizontally compressed, so we can get an idea what it really looked like. Squeezing it to make it look taller and steeper ruins it for me.

Hi Richard. Yeah, I was wondering about some of that myself. In some shots the camera is tilted as well. However, unless I'm seeing things, when that helicopter lands on top of the peak to let him off, you can see the steepness of it. As a photography expert though, you'd probably be able to tell us (and I'd like to know), where the tweaking comes in.

It's not intentionally squeezed. It is just youtube. From what they said, it is basically a 60 degree aspect. Fookin' NUTS.

True enough. Incidentally, did you know that story was based on a true story?

Did not know--
Any links?

I was guessing the Hideout was around House Rock, The ranch across the river?? no idea.
That's the cool thing about Lamour, his places are usually actual.Sometimes he changes the name of landmarks though.
