When the weather gets cold, it's nice to watch a doc about an expedition to a cold, hellish place, while snug in my pjs and comforter. Makes me less whiny about the shitty Ottawa winter. It could always be worse you know. Last year I watched the adventures of
Ernest Shackleton. This year was about a climbing expedition.
Touching the Void is a 2003 documentary film based on the book of the same name by Joe Simpson about Simpson's and Simon Yates' controverial expedition on the 6,344 metre (20,813 foot)
Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes in 1985.
It can be seen
here. I won't spoil it. It is worth watching.
