This engaging Disney movie is suitable for the hardcore climber, as well as a family looking for an entertaining Friday night, family movie. For climbers familiar with the alps, you will immediately recognize that most of the off mountain video was shot in Zermatt, and all the climbing sequences are from Chamonix. The movie is a Disney version of the novel Banner In The Sky, which was loosely based on the 1865 ascent of the Matterhorn. The movie may be rented for $2.99 from Amazon, YouTube, or iTunes.
Enjoy; this was my first introduction to climbing back in the late 1950s. (Although, I guess the Matterhorn ride in Disneyland was really my introduction to the sport!)
