Cliff hangers [B&W]

Over a gleaming ice field and up steep cliffs of bare rock, the camera follows members of the Alpine Club of Canada. Before they set out we are introduced to the climbers’ basic equipment and learn the uses of rope and ice axe. Excitement mounts with the Alpinists as they leap gaping chasms and drag themselves up a sheer wall of rock. At the top, they pause for a view of the sea of mountains lying around their own vanquished peak. Narrated by Lorne Greene.
