Oscar winning director Kevin McDonald’s harrowing docu-drama about the intrepid young British mountaineers Joe Simpson and Simon Yates’ expedition to scale the treacherous west face of Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes.

In 1985, two British mountaineers conquered the west face of Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. Little did they know that the challenge was only just beginning.

On the descent Simpson falls and breaks his leg, still attached by rope to his partner. The tension borders on the unbearable as we wait to see what Yates will do – hang on and eventually plunge to his death with Simpson? Or save himself by cutting the rope…

An incredible account of tragedy, friendship and human endurance in this acclaimed docu-drama.
