Based on the best selling novel by Joe Simpson, Touching The Void recounts the mountain climb Simpson and his partner Simon Yates undertook in 1985. These two young men from the North of England, both in their early twenties, set out to climb the 21000 foot, savage ice-face - the Siula Grande - in the Peruvian Andes. Simpson and Yates embark on an 'Alpine-style' climb - with no back-up team, no helicopters, no equipment other than what they carry in their packs. It's the purist technique, roped together, and utterly dependent on each other's skill. Making it to the top in three days, they run into blizzard weather and a treacherous ridge on their way down, where Simpson falls and shatters his leg - a veritable death sentence. A heroic battle for survival unfolds in which both men are faced with life or death decisions that test the human spirit to its limit. © Filmfour United / UK Film Council MMIII

If you haven't seen this film I strongly recommend you add it to your 'to see' list. It's not warm and fluffy, there's no romance or cheap jokes, but it is an incredible journey of strength, determination and hard decisions. Sometimes the truth is the best story.
