A movie that has likley inspired many...sure some of the plot is convoluted...but rock, ice, alpine climbing on the big screen? the last climb on the Totem Pole in Monument Valley...I'll take that...and Clint does his own stunts in this movie...

favorite line:

[Hemlock saves Meier from falling off the mountain]
Anderl Meier: You're very good. I have really enjoyed climbing with you.
Dr. Jonathan Hemlock: We'll make it.
Anderl Meier: I don't think so. But we shall continue with style.
