After rescuing a wealthy man, solo climbers Michael and Derrick are rewarded with a chance to summit Mount Chicanagua. Risk-taker Derrick clashes with safety-conscious Michael, but in order to live through the ordeal they must work as a team.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot on Mount Baker in Washington, not the fictional 'Chicanagua' — the fake name was chosen because it sounded vaguely South American.
Produced by World Wide Pictures, Billy Graham's film ministry, though it's lighter on preaching than their usual fare.
