Over deze film

In the high-stakes game of big-wall climbing, the Shark’s Fin on Mount Meru may be the ultimate prize. It’s a deadly route that has seen more failed attempts by elite climbing teams over the past 30 Years than any other ascent in the Himalayas. When Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk attempted the 21,000 ft climb they suffered set back after set back including dwindling supplies, 10 feet snowstorms and sub-zero temperatures. Beaten back even when the summit is in sight, heartbroken and totally defeated, Anker, Chin and Ozturk face up to some extraordinary challenges that makes Meru a unique story of friendship, sacrifice, hope and obsession.

As someone who only rarely challenges their physical being it is inspiring to see these 3 persist, strive and then embody the spirit of achievement against all odds. So much respect for all three. As an everyday person stuck in the city its docos like this that give me hope and remind me that nature and a vast world is out there for us to appreciate. City living makes us way too insular. And also ...spoiler alert: Renan's brain injury was totally underplayed.

GREAT WATCH ENJOYED WATCHING WHAT THESE MEN WENT THROUGH
