There is a scene in this Alistair MacLean (opens in new tab) wartime adventure where lead actors Richard Burton (opens in new tab) and Clint Eastwood (opens in new tab) had to scale a castle wall.

As a result, in the finished scene Eastwood looks exhausted at the top, while Burton looks suspiciously unaffected.
