Touching the Void
Just watched this on DVD tonight. Loved it.
It's a documentary, basically, with 3 guys talking over a dramatisation of a mishap they had on a mountain in Peru. I started off watching it, thinking "mountain climbing looks pretty good", but finished up being put off ever climbing a serious mountain ever. Both of the men climbing survived against crazy odds, but one of the guys, especially, what he went through to get back was incredible. Stuck in a crevasse halfway up a mountain with a broken leg, and with his mates thinking he was deaded. Amazing story. Though if you're from Britain, you'll see why I kind of expected Michael Buerk to pop up at any second and ham it up in his most serious voice. Quote:
