História
Reinhold Messner, born September 17, 1944 in Bressanone/Brixen in South Tyrol, is a German-speaking Italian mountaineer, considered by many to be one of the best of the 20th century. A great defender of the alpine style and destroyer of the expedition style, he is notably known for having made the first ascent of Everest without oxygen supply with Peter Habeler, in May 1978, and was the first to have climbed the fourteen peaks more 8,000 meters in 1986.

Marc-André Leclerc escala sozinho, longe dos holofotes. Em penhascos remotos, o canadense de alma livre de 23 anos faz uma das escaladas solo mais ousadas da história. Ainda assim, atrai pouca atenção. Sem câmeras, sem corda e sem margem para erro, a abordagem de Leclerc é a essência da aventura solo. Nômade e avesso à publicidade, ele não tem telefone nem carro, e reluta em deixar que uma equipe registre sua visão pura do alpinismo. O cinegrafista veterano Peter Mortimer (THE DAWN WALL) começa a fazer um filme sobre Leclerc, mas não consegue acompanhar seu esquivo protagonista. Então, Leclerc embarca numa aventura histórica na Patagônia, que redefinirá o que é possível em escalada solo.

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.

Everest and the pioneering first ascent of the West Ridge.

The documentary film Art of Freedom answers the most poignant questions on the phenomenon of Polish expeditions to the Himalayas. Poles have reigned the highest mountaintops of the world for more than 20 years. They not only set down new trails, but new rules of behavior. They set themselves apart with an original style of climbing, endurance, conscientiousness about the overall well-being of the team - and solidarity.

Idea
A meeting of two world famous climbers, one an experienced mountaineer the other a sport climber, and a journalist (Ivan) results in a bet on which of the two is the best climber. Roger (the mountaineering expert) states that Martin (the sport climber) wouldn't survive a day on a 'real' climbing expedition, although he is considered to be the world's best sport climber (having just won an indoor 'world championship,' an event depicted in the opening scene). They plan to climb 'Cerro Torre,' in the Patagonia region of South America, near the Argentinian/Chilean border, one of the world's most difficult mountains, especially considering the extreme weather conditions common to the area.
