Touching the Void

After a slow day - admin bolix - we had a lovely piece of steak for tea and then went up to the Guild for "Film Club".

Our current 'theme' is "Snow". Last time out we had Fargo, and this time we had a film that I had seen three times before, "Touching The Void". This is a drama-doc of the true story of two English guys climbing a new route up Siula Grande, a peak in Peru. It's a terrific film, and even though it's clear how it ends from the start (the two climbers involved narrate the story) it holds your attention. It will make you grimace, and you will be in awe at the strength and determination shown. Recommended.
