a remarkable docu-film. I watched this based on review on Listal - and to be honest the reviews couldnt have been better.

" First Viewing Viewing Date: April 6th Via: Netflix Plot: The true story of two climbers and their perilous journey up the west face of Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes in 1985. Rating: 9.0/10 Why Did I Watch It? I wanted to watch more of Kevin Macdonald's movies after Black Sea. This one is highly rated and I was curious about it back when it was first released."
