This film is the true story of the climb of the North Face of Eiger by German climbers in 1936. Because the film is set during the buildup to World War II, the climbers face not only the natural elements and the only rock face in Europe that has yet to be ascended, they also have to deal with the politics of Nazi Germany. The two men were tasked with not only a potentially deadly climb, but also with proving the superiority of Germans and the Reich. An intense film that you might have missed!
Sounds good.
