That's gotta rank up there in my all time fav movies.
At the 92nd Academy Awards, the film received four nominations, including Best Picture, and won Best Film Editing and Best Sound Editing.
That it is a true story really increases the impact. :tup: :tup:

Confirmed my belief that all mountain climbers are essentially nuts. :eek:
But this cleared up some of the questions I had about one of the horror climbing stories I read.

Husband and wife were coming down K2 from a successful summit ( 1 in four summiting K2 die)
They debated who would lead down the fixed ropes and her husband and another were ahead of her ....she felt a rumbling...and the rope ended suddenly just past her hand.

It's a terrific documentary...I think the book I read was simply called K2

Perhaps the most emotional docu and book about climbing is Into Thin Air by Krakauer.
Both highly recommended..the stories out if are astonishing and heartbreaking.
