Rating: - Very moving!
Not to be missed!
2 solo climbers take part in a daring rescue which earns them a chance to achieve a dream - climbing Mount Chicanagua in the Chilean Andes.
2 very different characters now team up to reach their goal.
Derrick is a take-life-to-the-edge, I-love-me-who-do-do-you-love? person, while Michael takes life as it comes and has a strong relationship with God & his family.
Michael says in answer to Derrick's disgust at finding he is a Christian "I don't preach, but I do speak my mind!" The film is convincing, but not "preachy" with a strong message of sacrificial love & forgiveness.

Rating: - Believable non preachy story line
What I liked about the movie was the believable non preachy story lines. Like with the one young couple where the woman Cheryl Martin is a Christian but isn't walking the talk, who then finds she has made a poor choice and faces some hard choices. Meanwhile the man Derrick Williams is struggling with his bitterness from not having a Dad growing up, and his goal of showing the Dad he never knew that he is better than him.
Meanwhile the other climber Michael Harris, is a widower, who is also a Christian, although not an in your face type which I found very refreshing. He seeks God first and listens and in doing so avoids mistakes the other climber is making. But he never gives up on his friend whom he sees as a hurting man. He simply loves him where he is at, which is what Christ does with each of us. In the end he brings the Biblical admonition of laying down our life for a friend to life.
Mack 'Mackie' Leonard is the owner of a sporting goods store whose son the climbers have saved so he promises to fund their big climb and has promised to build a new store in an area where businesses are needed. A man who works for him tries to go behind his back to change things, and gets fired for being corrupt. I like the whole story line.
I also loved the cinematography since we are a backpacking, skiing, climbing family and never get tired of great mountain scenes. Sure, some elements of the movie may seem sappy to hardened movie goers. But for me I simply ... Read More
Rating:  - Good message
The production level is average but the message has some meat to it. If you're looking for a hollywood style movie, this isn't it but yet you have to look beyond that to how God loves us and sets our path!
Rating: - Excellent film and message.. I was surprised at the quality
I used to love to go to movies but can't feel comfortable with the accepted norms of today's films. This was an excellent story line, good acting, and of course great moral lesson as you would expect from Billy Graham. I would highly recommend this film to Christians who love a good story and to non-Christians who are sick of the filth accepted as okay by today's movie goers.
Rating: - The Climb
I think this is a great movie that demonstrates God's love in a way that crosses racial boundaries. We are all human beings, we will all answer to the same God, Jesus the Christ. The actors and quality of the film are top quality.
