2. Great listing

Touching the void is coming out as a movie. That is why the renewed interest. One guy in the story has been hitting the talk show circuit. His story is horrific.

4. Here's the movie review from the Times

On a Mountain, Deciding When You Have to Let Your Partner Go
By DAVE KEHR

Published: January 23, 2004

Mountain climbing has long provided a seductive metaphor for spiritual quests, ever since Moses went up Mount Sinai and came down with the Ten Commandments.

We may no longer expect explicit spiritual guidance in our mountain movies, but a film like Kevin Macdonald's disappointing "Touching the Void," a British semidocumentary that opens today in New York and Los Angeles, is still very much concerned with notions of purification and transcendence, of slipping the bonds of ordinary material existence and entering a new, elevated realm of stark simplicity, elemental forces and moral clarity.
