Fae Fife.
First read the book a few years ago.
Watch the film if you can.
2 guys, a little mad, very lucky.
Amazing.
 
I have Read the book a MANY years ago.. didn't know there's a movie made on it. Tho I remeber the name as a "Touch of the void"... so I might be talking on a wrong thing here.

Think I have to make some googling on it.. so the movie's not too bad?

I'm sure if you liked the book you'd like the film. Definitely worth watching although I'm not sure my dvd is going to get a second viewing.
 
It's awesome the scenarios they got themselves into, and out of.
Bet they can't look each other in the eye, ever again.
I know I couldn't.
Awesome.
 
yes they can, there good mates again and the one that fell defends him if you say the other one is a cunt for cutting the rope. I read the book innit. Also should be called touching the cloth. I know I'd shit my self! Muhahahhaahah
 
rofl.
It did kinda split the climbing fraternity at the time.
But these guys were living it for real, no room for barroom hooha.
No bravado or macho.
Simply reality.
Act or die.
Albeit your actions may have killed someone else.
But then again that could in itself be a blessing.
Read the book, and watch the (UK) movie.(dramatised documentary).
 
Touchin The Void gets its UK TV premier on Thursday 4th Nov
9 pm on channel 4.
Watch it if you can.
