Overview

In The Beckoning Silence, Joe Simpson, whose amazing battle for survival featured in the multi-award winning "Touching the Void", travels to the treacherous North Face of the Eiger to tell the story of one of mountaineering's most epic tragedies. As a child, it was this story and that of one of the climbers in particular, that first captured Simpson's imagination and inspired him to take up mountaineering.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A meditative reckoning with the mountain that shaped a climber's life. Simpson returns to the Eiger not to conquer it, but to honor the ghosts of those who tried, and to understand what draws people to places that might kill them.
