BONINGTON: MOUNTAINEER
2016, UK, 80 minDirector: Brian Hall
Stories of friendship, love, risk and devastating loss run deep through this intimate journey of one man’s dream: Sir Chris Bonington. The drive for exploration is echoed in the first British ascent of the north wall of the Eiger, new routes on Mont Blanc, the ascent of ‘The Old Man of Hoy’ and then to the greater ranges where he is the first to stand on the virgin summits of Annapurna 2, Nuptse and the Central Tower of Paine, followed by landmark expedition success on the S. Face of Annapurna, Everest South West Face and the Ogre.
