Continuity mistake: When the team is crossing the crevasse on the ladder bridge at the ice fall. For safety, the climbers are tethered from their harnesses to the rope handrails with another short length of rope attached to a carabiner clip on each side. As Josh Brolin is crossing, you can see his tether, which he pushes along in front of his hands as he progresses. However, when the camera cuts to a reverse close-up from below, the tether has suddenly disappeared. When the shot cuts wide again, the safety tether has returned. (00:28:15)

Directed by: Baltasar Kormakur
Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Keira Knightley, Robin Wright, Jason Clarke, Elizabeth Debicki, Martin Henderson, Ang Phula Sherpa, Thomas M. Wright
Factual error: Josh Brolin is wearing a Dole/Kemp 1996 campaign shirt in March. Bob Dole didn't select Jack Kemp as his running mate until August.
Jon Krakauer: I've gotta ask the question and you know I do. Why?
Beck Weathers: Why? because ITS there.
Question: Sounds a bit weird to me that there would be a direct flight from Christchurch to Kathmandu in the beginning of the movie?
Answer: I did an Internet search, and every flight from Christchurch to Katmandu has at least two stopovers. However, the film takes place about two decades ago and there is no readily available information on flight paths for that time.
