This schematically and dramaturgically simple documentary consists of interviews with climbers interspersed with videos from their journey. As a climbing enthusiast, however, I was happy mainly because of the sheer number of those videos, through which we gradually get to the top. That’s because in other documentaries, such original shots are just a rare bonus, not the cornerstone. And I was really amused by one of the guys, who commented on the ascent to K2 with these words: “It’s like climbing in the High Tatras mountains, but it’s harder to breathe and everything takes three times as much time and effort.” ()
