Columbia Center for the Arts' film series presents "North Face" on Dec. 22 at 7:30 p.m., in Hood River.
Set in 1936, "North Face" centers around four mountain climbers who attempt to climb the north face of the Eiger Mountain in Switzerland and the tragic events that follow.
Based on a true story, "North Face" is a gripping adventure drama about a competition to climb the most dangerous rock face in the Alps.
In July of 1936--less than a year after the most recent and fatal attempt--two top German mountaineers, Toni Kurz (Benno Formann) and Andi Hinterstoisser (Florian Lukas), take up the challenge to become the first to scale the infamous rock face, the so-called Murder Wall.
Joining Columbia Arts to speak about the film and mountain will be Hood River resident John Harlin, who has climbed the North Face of the Eiger himself and whose father died pioneering perhaps the most dangerous route on that mountain. Mt. Eiger is considered one of the most dangerous and deadly in the world. Harlin has written a book about the climb and is wrestling with his father's legacy.
Tickets for this special screening are $5 at the door. Columbia Arts is located at 215 Cascade Ave. This film (run time: 121 minutes) is not rated.
