On The Box Tonight: Touching The Void

By Jon

Just a quick reminded that the epic film of Joe Simpson's Touching The Void is on Channel 4 at 9.00pm tonight, Thursday.

If you haven't seen it, or even if you have, then either clear your diary or set the VCR in advance - this is one of the best climbing films ever made with stunning footage both from the Peruvian Andes and the Alps. The climbing sections are the most realistic we've ever seen and were filmed in genuinely nasty conditions for maximum authenticity.

For more information on the film, see the Channel 4 microsite at www.channel4.com/touchingthevoid - there's information, trailers and a competition to win a Berghaus Trango jacket...
