Summer 1936. Bearing the expectations of a nation and their Fuhrer two climbers set out to be the first to conquer the last great problem of the Alps. But soon their ascent becomes a race for survival threatened by injury and storms of unimaginable fury. Before long their quest becomes a pusle-pounding race against both time and the awesome forces of nature. Shot through with scenes of gut-wrenching peril rivaling those of Touching The Void Northface is a powerful breathtaking tale of human endurance on a terrifying landscape; towering over 1 800m the North Face has claimed over 60 lives and earned itself the grimly appropriate nickname: the murder wall.
