The most tragic climb in the history of climbing the famous north face of the Eiger in the Alps. In the real photo at the time, the young Toni Kurz's stiff body hung helplessly in the air a few meters above the rescue team, shouting the last sentence of life: "I can't do it~", and then died.
There is still a gap between the movie and the real story. The real rescue is more complicated and tragic than in the movie. Toni Kurz watched the two companions fall. The life and death of the companions above were unknown. After the rescue was forced to evacuate due to the bad weather, he was hung on the north wall by himself in a snowstorm all night. I woke up miraculously the next day, but one arm was frozen and unable to move. The rescue team couldn't reach him from below, so they had to shout and let him find a way to put down the rope and bring the rope up again. He was forced to cut the rope below, and then tried to climb more than ten meters high to reach the unknown companion. Then he cut the rope between them, and then disassembled the rope, divided into small strands, and connected them to reach a sufficient length. When he climbed to his companion, he found that his companion had already died of suffocation due to the tight rope. That's the almost impossible task that Toni spent five hours with, using only one hand to complete it. When the rescuer received the hanging rope and connected the thick rope, he found that the length of the carrying rope was not enough, so he had to connect another one. After the rope is connected, let Toni pull it up and tie it, and then slowly climb down by himself. This is another almost impossible task. Toni spent a long time sliding down to a height of only a few meters above the head of the rescue team. Here, he encountered two knots of ropes, but the knots could not pass his descent. Device. After struggling desperately for a few minutes, he shouted the last words of his life and gave up completely.
