BY TONI KURZ

2
At 00:01:04,980, Character said: When you're at the bottom,
Toni once told me

3
At 00:01:08,980, Character said: at the foot of the wall...

4
At 00:01:11,100, Character said: and you look up,

5
At 00:01:12,941, Character said: you ask yourself:
How can anyone climb that?

6
At 00:01:16,701, Character said: Why would anyone even want to?

7
At 00:01:19,901, Character said: But hours later
when you're at the top...

8
At 00:01:23,581, Character said: looking down,

9
At 00:01:25,902, Character said: you've forgotten everything...

10
At 00:01:30,342, Character said: Except the one person you promised...

11
At 00:01:32,582, Character said: you would come back to.

12
At 00:01:39,683, Character said: THE NORTH FACE

13
At 00:01:46,703, Character said: Based on a true story

14
At 00:01:57,564, Character said: The "Wall of Death" this perilous
Alpine face is often called.

15
At 00:02:01,244, Character said: But German flying ace Ernst Udet...

16
At 00:02:03,844, Character said: fearlessly comes within 20 meters
of its icy cliffs...

17
At 00:02:07,605, Character said: in search of the missing
Munich climbers...

18
At 00:02:10,705, Character said: Max Mehringer and Karl Sedlmayer.

19
At 00:02:14,705, Character said: After forging into the middle of the face,
our brave troopers...

20
At 00:02:18,625, Character said: died in their bivouacs.

21
At 00:02:20,906, Character said: After the tragedy,
the canton of Berne decreed...

22
At 00:02:24,586, Character said: that climbing the North Face
is strictly forbidden.

23
At 00:02:27,906, Character said: But will this piece of paper
hold back German youth?

24
At 00:02:34,487, Character said: With the Olympic Games approaching,
our proud youth senses...

25
At 00:02:38,807, Character said: not only the peril but also the lure,

26
At 00:02:41,647, Character said: this challenge of their skills.

27
At 00:02:44,007, Character said: For one thing is certain:

28
At 00:02:45,487, Character said: The first men to summit will be
celebrated as Olympic heroes.

29
At 00:02:50,588, Character said: And so the battle cry echoes through Europe:
Attack the Eiger North Face!

30
At 00:02:55,868, Character said: We must conquer the last problem of the Alps!

31
At 00:03:13,969, Character said: BERLIN - MAY 1936
NEWSROOM AT THE BERLINER ZEITUNG

32
At 00:03:26,470, Character said: We've contacted every Alpine club.
False alarm.

33
At 00:03:31,871, Character said: Maybe it's just too early
in the season for...

34
At 00:03:35,391, Character said: mountain climbing.

35
At 00:03:36,551, Character said: Die-hard climbers die easier
than you think.

36
At 00:03:40,551, Character said: Humans are foolhardy by nature.

37
At 00:03:42,431, Character said: Do you know what this is?

38
At 00:03:44,392, Character said: Not yet, boss.

39
At 00:03:45,592, Character said: The Reich Press Secretary...

40
At 00:03:47,672, Character said: instructs us to focus...

41
At 00:03:49,432, Character said: on the first ascent of the Eiger.

42
At 00:03:52,272, Character said: That's your jurisdiction.

43
At 00:03:54,072, Character said: I want a German first ascent soon,
or you'll be...

44
At 00:03:57,393, Character said: climbing it yourself.

45
At 00:04:00,133, Character said: Henry,
what about that pair from Berchtesgaden?

46
At 00:04:03,693, Character said: It was in the local paper.
Try to remember...

47
At 00:04:07,853, Character said: Two men from the Mountain Brigade,
I think,

48
At 00:04:10,854, Character said: and one of them is named...

49
At 00:04:14,414, Character said: Hinterstoisser.
Yes, one is Hinterstoisser...

50
At 00:04:17,854, Character said: and the other...

51
At 00:04:21,274, Character said: - Henry?
- Kurz.

52
At 00:04:25,315, Character said: What?

53
At 00:04:29,795, Character said: What do you mean by "courts"?

54
At 00:04:31,595, Character said: Andi Hinterstoisser and Toni Kurz.

55
At 00:04:34,555, Character said: Mr. Henze meant them.
They'll scale anything tall.

56
At 00:04:37,516, Character said: It's all they ever thought about as kids.

57
At 00:04:40,396, Character said: Put one and one together.

58
At 00:04:42,276, Character said: What have they dreamed about
since they were kids?

59
At 00:04:45,316, Character said: Graduating from high school, Henze?

60
At 00:04:48,536, Character said: Sorry, boss.

61
At 00:04:49,976, Character said: About the Eiger, of course.
Climbing it first, Olympic gold, etc.

62
At 00:04:55,497, Character said: How do you know about them?

63
At 00:04:58,917, Character said: - Miss...?
- Fellner.

64
At 00:05:01,557, Character said: I'm from Berchtesgaden too.
We practically grew up together.

65
At 00:05:05,398, Character said: I know almost everything about them.

66
At 00:05:07,718, Character said: Oh really?

67
At 00:05:11,218, Character said: Everything?

68
At 00:05:27,639, Character said: Around noon, after 27 hours of struggle,

69
At 00:05:31,359, Character said: we summited and shook hands in silence.

70
At 00:05:33,960, Character said: It was a hard,
life-renewing battle,

71
At 00:05:36,580, Character said: for only one who has felt death so near...

72
At 00:05:39,540, Character said: ...will truly know that life is dear.

73
At 00:05:41,780, Character said: Yes.
Your Private Kurz is a mountain poet.

74
At 00:05:44,500, Character said: - That too?
- But they're also highly talented.

75
At 00:05:49,321, Character said: Göll, Nordwand, Matterhorn,
Wartsteinkante...

76
At 00:05:52,361, Character said: That was a first ascent.
A very difficult climb.

77
At 00:05:54,721, Character said: Just this May.
Nobody thought it was possible.

78
At 00:05:58,461, Character said: Well done!

79
At 00:05:59,541, Character said: Why aren't they in Berne
attempting to climb the Eiger?

80
At 00:06:04,602, Character said: I don't know.

81
At 00:06:06,642, Character said: Oh, she doesn't know.

82
At 00:06:07,962, Character said: Miss Fellner, come here.

83
At 00:06:11,682, Character said: Here.

84
At 00:06:13,903, Character said: This will get you 40 marks
for travel expenses.

85
At 00:06:16,783, Character said: Then go to the stockroom
and have them give you a Retina.

86
At 00:06:20,063, Character said: And then off you go to Berchtesgaden.

87
At 00:06:26,343, Character said: Tell your old friends
that the German Reich,

88
At 00:06:28,664, Character said: especially our editor-in-chief,
is counting on them.

89
At 00:06:34,504, Character said: Pardon?

90
At 00:06:35,584, Character said: Bring back a nice story, child. Go on!

91
At 00:06:42,545, Character said: Do your Bavarian alpinists...

92
At 00:06:44,505, Character said: look anything like German heroes?

93
At 00:06:48,205, Character said: More German and heroic than either of us.

94
At 00:06:51,005, Character said: BERCHTESGADEN - MOUNTAIN BRIGADE GARRISON

95
At 00:07:01,306, Character said: Hinterstoisser! Kurz!

96
At 00:07:05,106, Character said: Have we learned what curfew means?

97
At 00:07:08,227, Character said: Or do you still think scaling mountains...

98
At 00:07:10,667, Character said: excuses you from looking at your watches?

99
At 00:07:12,707, Character said: Company Sergeant sir,
we don't own watches.

100
At 00:07:16,927, Character said: In that case, Hinterstoisser,
I'll tell you...

101
At 00:07:20,607, Character said: how long it is until quitting time.

102
At 00:07:23,288, Character said: Exactly four urinals in the staff building,

103
At 00:07:26,288, Character said: two company latrines in barrack V, and...

104
At 00:07:29,228, Character said: one floor in the officer's casino.

105
At 00:07:31,508, Character said: Carry on!

106
At 00:07:40,389, Character said: Company Sergeant sir,
we don't own watches.

107
At 00:07:44,089, Character said: Good job!

108
At 00:07:48,169, Character said: Heil Hitler.

109
At 00:07:49,249, Character said: Bye.

110
At 00:09:12,756, Character said: Rope!

111
At 00:10:19,240, Character said: We'll never make it this way.

112
At 00:10:21,361, Character said: Let's traverse from below.

113
At 00:10:24,241, Character said: C'mon, never say never.

114
At 00:11:23,485, Character said: Everything OK?

115
At 00:11:25,765, Character said: Yeah.

116
At 00:11:27,365, Character said: Hinterstoisser, you heavy b***d.

117
At 00:11:29,566, Character said: You need to do more push-ups, Kurz.

118
At 00:11:43,467, Character said: But it was a good idea.

119
At 00:11:45,307, Character said: Maybe it still needs a little work.

120
At 00:11:49,367, Character said: You need to work on hammering in pitons.

121
At 00:12:04,548, Character said: - Berg Heil, partner, we made it.
- Berg Heil.

122
At 00:12:08,388, Character said: Here's to the new Hinterstoisser-Kurz route!

123
At 00:12:40,151, Character said: Angerer and Rainer are going for it.

124
At 00:12:43,551, Character said: What?

125
At 00:12:44,711, Character said: You know what I'm talking about.

126
At 00:12:47,991, Character said: They're climbing the Eiger.

127
At 00:12:51,312, Character said: Whatever.

128
At 00:12:52,992, Character said: C'mon Toni,
we can beat those two left-handed.

129
At 00:12:56,552, Character said: I know you,
you want to do the Eiger too.

130
At 00:13:03,082, Character said: Or why did we scale the south face
of the Untersberg?

131
At 00:13:07,603, Character said: - In the newspaper you yourself wrote...
- I know what I wrote.

132
At 00:13:14,063, Character said: Scared, huh?

133
At 00:13:15,463, Character said: I'm not scared of anything.

134
At 00:13:43,345, Character said: Hi, Mrs. Kurz,
I'm bringing your Toni back home.

135
At 00:13:46,426, Character said: Glad you g***t back safely.

136
At 00:13:49,066, Character said: We've g***t a visitor.

137...
