    It’s a climbers Aguirre Wrath of God… Dons beer belly is awesome, he was an incredibly strong climber. It’s hard to imagine many of today’s quickdraw gymnasts enduring the approach to climb this.

      True hard men of the mountains. Doing it for the enjoyment, not the accolades.4 friends enjoying each other's company. I used to have friends like that. Only 2 of us left out of the 4 now (my 4 I mean, but it applies to this 4 as well... Joe and Hamish are still going strong).

    I didn't know this film existed. I read 'Feeding The Rat' back in the early 90s and again, recently. I always wondered what Mo Anthoine looked and sounded like. He is one of the 'unsung heroes' of British mountaineering. I used to own one of his and Joe's Snowdon Moulding helmets. One good aspect of this modern world is that I can look up any fact and obtain any film.
    This expedition doesn't look very enjoyable! Rain and spiders versus ice and snow. Hmmm.😀

    Read Hamish's book about the climb, most of it factual, dry as dust, understated, then peppered with his explosively funny dry humour - I'm laughing remembering it - e.g. just as they finally got over the prow, he admits " The old brown eye was winking". Hard as nails.
