Facing his fears, Peter assembles a rescue team, including experienced climber Montgomery Wick (Scott Glenn), to save them.
Critic Reviews:
- " Alternately generating adrenaline and ennui, Vertical Limit battles itself to a hard-earned draw. " – David Ansen
- " This rockumentary leaves Vertical Limit and Cliffhanger in the powder snow. The men's versions of the events are fascinating, often amusing and blatantly honest. " – Annette Dasey
- " Caffeine and nitroglycerine power this special effects thriller. " – Marty Mapes
