Leo Houlding

Jesse Dufton sufre de retinosis pigmentaria, una enfermedad que desde la infancia ha mermado su visión hasta el punto de quedarse casi completamente ciego.

For nearly three years, director Dina Khreino interviewed world-class mountain climbing athletes, listening to what compels them to leave behind families, friends, and everyday comforts to risk everything for a fleeting glimpse into the unknown. What she found was a tribe, a diverse group of professional adventurers and amateur philosophers forged by the ultimate test of body, mind, and spirit. In the face of shifting winds, sheer granite cliffs, and impossible odds, they climb. Each for their own reason, but every one connected by the vertical world. In this rarefied air, these athletes are fundamentally changed, not just as climbers, but as human beings.

Crackoholic , by Jonas Paulsson and Mikael Widerberg, is quite different to most other climbing movies. The style is somewhat similar to that of the classic Hard Grit, in that it provides a historical perspective to the climbing of the area. In this case Bohusln on the Swedish west coast. We also get to meet and listen to some of the climbers who, through the decades, have been important to the development, of difficulty as well as ethics, and hear their thoughts on climbing and risk. As would be expected, these thoughts range from profound to cliche. Of course, there's also a lot of climbing, from moderates to FA's of cutting edge "death" routes.

Abrigado con una simple gabardina y calzando botas con tachuelas, el inglés George Mallory arriesgó todo por conseguir su sueño. Fue visto por última vez con vida a 245 metros de la cumbre del Everest, minutos antes de que el cielo se ennegreciera y acabara convertido en leyenda. Su muerte asombró al mundo entero. En 1999, el montañero Conrad Anker descubrió el cuerpo congelado de Mallory. Sus pertenencias fueron encontradas intactas, a falta de un solo objeto, la foto de su mujer Ruth, que el escalador había prometido colocar en lo alto de la cima. Guiados por Anker, en este documental seguimos las huellas de Mallory por la cara noreste de la escalofriante montaña, con el fin de resolver el misterio que rodea su muerte, y descubrir si el valiente montañero consiguió cumplir su sueño de alcanzar la cima.
