Time: 45 min.
Distributor: MacGillivray Freeman Films
Rating: G
My Rating: G
Starring: John Harlin
Grade: A-

Synopsis: In 1966, John Harlin II died while attempting Europe's most difficult climb, the North Face of the Eiger in Switzerland. 40 years later, his son John Harlin III, an expert mountaineer and the editor of the American Alpine Journal, returns to attempt the same climb.

My Review: This was a very excellent documentary about The Alps and this man's journey to climb it. I was hooked to the screen the whole movie. This is stunning on the IMAX screen and the Alps are absolutely beautiful mountains. This film was a lot of fun and was a good length for the content presented.

Recommend: Yes, and definitely see it on the IMAX screen. It would not have been as good otherwise. If you have been to Switerland or the Alps then you will enjoy this film. Be aware that you will want to move to Switzerland after watching this film :).
