Anyone seen it? Already been talked about? I saw it on tv the other night. Amazing story. The guys look like they were pretty stupid to be doing what they were doing, but how the hell did the one guy survive?! wakaranai

2 climbers that go up an unclimbed peak in the Andes (I think) and get into all sorts of trouble. The one guy ends up having to cut his mate off a rope as he is dangling over a cliff with a busted knee/leg, who then falls into a crevass, pretty deep. Cut a long story short they both survived. Awesome story.

yeah, Joe Simpson wrote it. The trip was in 1985, the film adaptation to the book was done in 2003, winning the BAFTA in 04.

That's just from reading the DVD cover.
