"Actor: Simpson"

• The Beckoning Silence | DVD | (05/11/2007) from £13.08   |  Saving you £9.90 (98.12%)   |  RRP £19.99

  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. Toni Kurz was a brilliant young mountaineer who along with three other climbers tried to climb the mountain in 1936 which was then the last great unconquered peak in the Alps. Their assault on the mountain started well but then disaster struck and one by one Kurz's colleagues were killed leaving him alone hanging on the end of a rope fighting for his life in the most horrific of circumstances. Over 50 years later in Peru Kurz's story haunted Simpson as he battled for his own survival while hanging in mid-air. His plight uncannily mirrored that of Kurz - except against all the odds Simpson lived whilst his hero had perished. The Beckoning Silence tells the story of Kurz's heroic battle for survival but in telling it it also forces Simpson to confront a fundamental question - why continue climbing when you have come so close to oblivion? In this gripping action packed adventure film with a difference Simpson finally confronts his demons on the Eiger's North Face and rediscovers the thrill of the climb that once made him feel so alive.
