Help me identify this climbing movie

I saw it about 10 years ago, it was actual footage from a climb in the St Elias range. It shows the climbers going into the climb, climbing it and on the summit. The next seen is one of them on the way out alone. His partners all died just below the summit. The climb was done in the 70's,

 

What is the movie and where can I get a copy?

This film by Steve Marts is entitled Fairweather because it depicts a climb of an un-named 10,000' peak in the Fairweather Group. I have a VHS copy of the film which I cherish. The film is at once both joyful and somber.

 

Al Givler and Dusan Jagersky were my original climbing instructors, and mentors in the mid 1970's when I began to climb. Their death nearly caused me to reassess the whole alpine climbing notion. I've not been able to quit in all the intervening years apparently.
