The Eagle's track

The High Tatra Mountains have become the climbing and ski ground of Poland. This film takes us with a party which follows the arduous “Eagle’s Track” to one of the highest peaks. The film describes and captures the excitement of mountaineering and shows, incidentally, the equipment and methods used for climbing rock, ice and snow.
