Matterhorn - The North Face In Winter

Name: Matterhorn - The North Face In Winter
Genre: Documentary, Adventure, Drama
Released: 24 Aug 1976
Rating: 10.00
Cast: Eddie Birch, Brian Molyneux, Eric Jones, Leo Dickinson, Edward Whymper

The first filmed winter ascent of the north face of the Matterhorn. To set the scene, the tragic story of Edward Whymper's first ascent is skillfully pieced together. The modern expedition, a team of three British climbers, is also plagued with epics: Eric Jones is hit by an avalanche and can only come to a dangerous stop at the edge of a 1000 foot drop. Then the worst storm ever recorded in Zermatt hits the Matterhorn. With time and weather against them, the team is forced to climb in the dark as thunderstorms rumble around them. This adventure captures the skill and courage of the climbers, their agony and tension, and the beauty of the assault on this spectacular mountain. Grand Prize at the Les Diablerets festival (Switzerland) in 1976.
