The book/film "into thin air" is supposedly good too.
EDIT: the other good climbing disaster film to watch is "touching the void." powerful stuff.
- furyg3 13y agoJust adding to this, I really enjoyed the book (even though I'm not into mountaineering).
- dagurp 13y agoThere's another film on the way about it. It comes out this year according to imdb. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2719848/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2719848/
- swatkat 13y agoI recommend reading both the books - "The Climb" by Anatoli Boukreev, and "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Climb_(book) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Climb_(book) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_Thin_Air http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_Thin_Air
