“2 Men. 2 Goals. 1 Mountain.”
Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “‘The Climb’ is a story of two solo rock climbers, Michael Harris (Ned Vaughn) and Derrick Williams (Jason George), who are brought together when they perform a daring rescue. The man they save is the son of retail mogul Mack Leonard (Dabney Coleman) who rewards Michael and Derrick by sponsoring a trip to their dream climb at Mount Chicanagua. The two highly esteemed climbers approach the sport very differently. Michael is a safety-conscious plodder driven by the beauty of creation. His goal is to reach the summit, and take whatever precautions necessary. Derrick is a flamboyant self-promoter bent by anger. He’s a risk taker and will reach his dream at any cost. A clash of pride, styles, and character put both of their lives on the line.”

The accountability that is required of us as Christians was explored and truthfully shared in a way that allows non-Christians to see that being a believer still has its own sets of struggles and situations to deal with. I highly recommend this movie.

“The Climb” has enough male testosterone action to keep a viewers attention, while still sharing the peace and benefits of a life dedicated to Christ. For you romantic types, this film also reflects the value of healthy relationships and touches on personal integrity, and responsibility. I highly recommend “The Climb.” See it today!
