Best of
Taos Mountain Film Festival
To Benefit the Colorado Cancer Foundation
Come for a night of fun and excitement, and
benefit the Colorado Cancer Foundation! The Best of Taos Mountain
Film Festival features
Touching The Void, a riveting
depiction of the grueling ordeal climbers Simon Yates and Joe Simpson
suffered on Suila Grande in the Peruvian Andes. After a freak
accident shatters one of the climbers' legs, they make an epic,
storm-dogged descent that ends for one of them at the bottom of a
crevasse. How he got there and his amazing escape have become
legendary-- and controversial--in climbing lore.

legendary mountain climber and author live
