Movies and TvShows featuring "cliff-face" theme.

In Vertical (1966), a group of mountaineers face numerous challenges, including blizzards, avalanches, and a treacherous cliff face, as they attempt to climb a mountain in the Soviet Union. Along the way, they encounter a snowstorm, snow blindness, and the frozen corpse of a fellow climber. Their journey is filled with danger and the memories of World War II.

This short looks at the sport of rock climbing. A team of three men ascend a rock wall on Southern California's Tahquitz Rock (also known as Lily Rock) above Idyllwild. The various climbing techniques are explained, as well as the dangers one encounters in this sport. We also see the team rappel from the summit. A second team, used for comic relief, has nothing but problems.

National Geographic goes beyond the tourist hotspots and travels deep inside the 2 million acre national park to reveal the backcountry wilderness few have seen. Explore some of the 300 newly discovered waterfalls most tourists never get to see. Learn how wolves, back after five decades of absence from Yellowstone, are helping restore the balance in the ecosystem alongside the grizzly bear and bison. Finally, discover how the geology of Yellowstone with its giant well of molten lava underneath the surface is sometimes more dangerous than the wildlife. So serene and yet so dangerous, this powerful drama comes alive through satellite imagery and CGI animation.
