Cold haul

Anno: 2004 Durata: 51 minuti Benvenuti nel mondo dell’alpinismo invernale. 1000 metri di superbo granito in invernale, la Parete Ovest del Dru affrontata da due alpinisti britannici. In lingua inglese. British climbers Andy Kirkpatrick and Ian Parnell attempt the notorious ‘Lafaille Route’ on the West Face of The Dru. At 3,733 metres this is reckoned to be the hardest mountain in the Alps. Filmed in the depths of winter, a revealing insight into life at the sharp end for two of Britain’s most committed alpinists, as they battle their way up 1000m of sheer granite, on rollercoaster ride of emotions. This personal, raw account blends memorable climbing footage with some subtle and not-so-subtle ‘Boy’s Own’ humour-an essential ingredient for success or failure in extreme conditions. This is a true alpine film, capturing the spirit of big wall alpine climbing in winter. English language.
