* FunnyMoments: Despite the tension of the entire film, there's a few moments that will make one to chuckle. The pair run into trouble from the start going down the mountain. Lost in the snowfall, they can't find the ridge they need to. Suddenly, the crust Simon is walking along gives way underneath him and he falls quite a frightening distance before he finds solid footing beneath him. It's the ridge they've been looking for. Cue him yelling down to his climbing partner, "Joe! I found the ridge!"
** The entire trippy sequence where 'Brown Girl in the Ring' gets stuck in Joe's head, ultimately keeping him awake when he's falling into a stupor and would have otherwise died. Has to been [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UO_uK33aQY8 seen to be believed.]] Culminating in Joe talking in a dry tone about how he was thinking "Bloody hell, I'm going to die to Music/BoneyM."

!Tropes for the film:
* BurnBabyBurn: The documentary has an interesting real-life subversion where Simpson falls into an ice crevasse and is believed to have died by his comrades. Turns out that he survives the fall and after crawling back to camp (on a broken leg no less!) is understandably upset to discover that they had burned his trousers in grieving.
* ACrackInTheIce: The movie is the real life story of how Simpson survived this.
* CutTheSafetyRope: When trying to return to base because one of the pair (Simpson) had a broken leg, Yates was forced to cut the rope and let them fall while attempting to lower them. Amazingly, despite thinking that his partner had certainly died from the fall, he not only survived (with even more injuries) but managed to crawl back to camp.
** Even more amazingly, the man who did the falling (Joe Simpson) has since publicly supported the actions of the man who did the cutting (Simon Yates) and forgiven him. Simon was in an impossible position, and the cutting of the rope ultimately saved both their lives.
* {{Facecam}}: Used extensively when Simpson is walking down a mountain on a broken leg.
* SanitySlippage: The documentary is about Joe Simpson and Simon Yates in their attempt to climb the Siula Grande mountain. After Joe Simpson has had his rope cut, and has been days without food or water, he eventually becomes delirious; as he presumes himself to be close to death, the song 'Brown Girl in the Ring' by Boney M gets stuck in his head, which is a song that he hates.
