The beckoning silence

This is another documentary based on one of Joe Simpson's books, this time about the 1936 4-person expedition that tried to make it up the North Face of the Eiger, and the parallels between Tony Kurtz's death and Simpson's ordeal. It's not nearly as gut wrenching as Touching the void, though I imagine it was just as emotional for Simpson to make as that movie was, but it's nevertheless incredibly impressive.
