Last night the "North face: a true story," opened in Manhattan and other select cities around the country. This 2008 German film, with English sub-titles, is getting its American release, to good reviews. The consensus is that all the climbing (true parts) of the story are superb- riveting even - but that the fictional love story and Nazis drama portions of the movie are much less successful. This is the story of one of the ill-fated early attempts on the North face of the Eiger. Click on this text to access the New York Times review.
I think my time has passed, however if there is one alpine route I dream of, this is it!
