the true story of  two British climbers, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates, and their '85 attempt on a new route up the west face of Siula Grande in Patagonia, a 22,000 beast of a mountain. things go...horribly awry, yet, through ridiculous determination and unfathomable courage, they both lived to tell this story. excellent reviews: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/TouchingtheVoid-1129320/

the trailer's a little hype-y, http://www.pathefilms.co.uk/touching_the_void/ttv_hi.html but the movie totally delivers. it takes you there, and it'll flip your lid, trust me. a true epic. the cinematography is fantastic, so see it on the big screen while you can.
