Short description

The true story of Joe Simpson and Simon Yates' disastrous and nearly-fatal mountain climb of 6,344m Siula Grande in the Cordillera Huayhuash in the Peruvian Andes in 1985.

What's left behind the scenes

The restoration of the ascent, involving the actors, was filmed in the Alps.
During the making of the film, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates organized an expedition to the Peruvian Andes to shoot establishing shots of Siula Grande, at the very location where they had their base camp in 1985.
