Review of Third Man on the Mountain

I watch any Mt climbing movie I can get my hands on. Since I have never seen one about the Matterhorn, I am watching this one. No one called Matt, has ever died on it tho. First ascent was on July 14, 1865 by Edward Whymper, Charles Hudson, Lord Francis Douglas, Douglas Robert Hadow, guide Michel Croz, and the father and son guides Peter and Peter Taugwalder via the Hörnli Ridge, the most common route of ascent today. Just below the summit on the descent, Hadow slipped, knocking Croz off. The rope came tight and pulled Hudson and Douglas and the four climbers fell down the north face. The elder Taugwalder was belaying with the rope over a rock spike, but the impact broke the rope thereby saving the Taugwalders and Whymper from certain death. I would think Disney could have got this historic fact correct. Great movie tho! If you want historic accuracy, watch Into Thin Air. Or, the North Face.
