Episode notes

Climbers Joe and Simon had to dig a snow cave on the third day of their climb. They were exhausted, but thought they might as well stand on top of the mountain. It must have been like going into outer space or something scary, says David Walliams. The descent is much more dangerous than the ascent, he adds.

A film club episode about the award-winning documentary film "Touching the Void" about a mountain climbing expedition which goes wrong. It's an amazing true story and there are lots of things to learn from it, including lessons about motivation and attitude towards any challenge. The film is available on Netflix and DVD. Check it out and use this episode to help you understand it all.
