High Lane (2009)

aka Vertige

A group of friends decide to go climbing, but the location they choose is closed due to dangerous conditions, among them rockslides and a trail that needs repair.  All are seasoned climbers except for one who is included as he's a new boyfriend.  Not a good idea to bring him on this trip because not only is he inexperienced, he seems to be afraid of heights.

As the group heads further along the trail, they encounter trickier obstacles which are not where a new climber should be going.  When a rope bridge collapses, they are cut off from retracing their steps and must continue on in hopes of completing the more difficult climbing route and long trek back to the car.

Two of the more experienced climbers go ahead to scout the easiest route through the trees and one ends up in a bear trap.  Well that's odd a bear trap neare a hiking trail.  What would anyone be hunting in this area?  Could it be a backwoods killer with a taste for hunting humans?  Of course it is. Who else would be up here other than some mentally challenged lunatic who hates society and everyone who is young and free?

Continuity is challenged when Karine is going through the woods with a head lamp.  She takes it off, then it's back, and then it's gone again.
