Goofs:
Anachronisms: When Toni and Andreas are cycling to Switzerland they are seen mending a tire tube using a plastic tube of glue. In the 1930s plastic of that nature was not available. They would have had a small tin of glue and would be using a stick or twig to spread it on the patch. more

Best climbing movie ever, 17 June 2009
10/10
Author: cdrbond007 from United States

I have seen a lot of climbing movies and this one tops them all. The climbing scenes are remarkable- it will keep you on the edge of your seat! To see these guys climbing thousands of feet up on this face with the old equipment is incredible, and you feel like you are actually there with the amazing cinematography. It left me asking, "how in the world did they film that?!" It is an astonishing true story. If you don't know about it, do yourself a favor and watch the movie before reading about it. Why don't they make more movies like this?? Hollywood needs to learn a lesson…tell a true story, be faithful to it, and don't rely on CGI and special effects.
