The Eiger Sanctions

Just watched - The Eiger Sanctions; featuring Clint Eastwood. A mainstream movie, about hardcore mountaineering, that was made without any exaggerations. Fantastic movie. Especially considering it was made in early 70's.

I have been reading Eiger Dreams by John Krakaur recently, and due to the way Krakaur dramatically talks about the north face of the mountain, I absolutely enjoyed the filming of the climb and Eiger mountain footage from the movie. They have shown the technicalities involving an intense climb, really well and without any bullshit. Besides, some of the initial rock climbs were also filmed realistically.

It's a must watch for any fellow interested in climbing and mountaineering.
