Karim, non stop
J. Ramón Día (2012)
On March 9, 1992, at 10:30 pm, after a day in the cold and snow, Catherine Destivelle reaches the summit of the Eiger after facing her legendary north face by the 1938's Heckmair Route. She is the first woman to achieve this feat solo in winter. Destivelle back roped herself on the most difficult sections. The 1938 route on the North Face of the Eiger is justifiably regarded as one of the greatest routes in the Alps. The height of the face is 1800 meters with nearly twice that length of climbing, ice pitches of 55-60°, numerous traverses making retreat difficult, surprise bad weather when cold fronts come from the north, and worst of all, it is almost continually raked by stonefall.- 2012

Fuenfría
Jesús Bosque (2006)
In the valley of Chistau, in the depths of the Aragonese Pyrenees, the waters of the Fuenfría barely wet, in summer, the rock that collapses in 140 vertical meters on the deep canyon flanked by pines. The place is totally inaccessible in winter and it is not until 2004 when Iñaki Cabo, in its constant search for new challenges, discovers for the first time the imposing ice waterfall. In the winters of 2004 and 2005, all the routes are equipped, but the great challenge remains, the free climbing of the great tail of the waterfall. This is the most feared section, in continuous motion, it forms and falls a couple of times each season.- 2006

Montañas de ayer
Guillermo Campo (1998)
Historical documentary dedicated to the first ascent of El Puro (Mallos de Riglos, Spain). Between the thirties and forties, all the tops of Riglos had been conquered. Only one singular needle remained unclimbed, known for its capricious form as 'El Puro' (The Cigar). The climbing of this needle had exceptional difficulty and the most leading climbers of the moment had noticed it. The history of the conquest of this 'mallo' would be the most tragic of all those that have happened in this massif.- 1998
