Ueli Steck

Fearless alpine climbers Ueli Steck and Dani Arnold enter into a death-defying rivalry to set speed records on the Swiss Alps' great north faces.

Альпинист-одиночка Марк-Андре Леклерк никогда не находился в центре всеобщего внимания. Но этот 23-летний юноша из Канады совершал одни из самых экстремальных одиночных восхождений в мире, взбираясь на отдалённые и труднодоступные скалы. Несмотря на такие достижения, в СМИ о нём писали редко. Никаких камер, страховки и права на ошибку — вот основные принципы соло-восхождений Леклерка.

Six big north faces of the Alps. The film consists of six films: "Die Wand der Wände" (Eger by Robert Jasper, Roger Schäli), "Das letzte Wort hat der Berg" (Matterhorn by Michael Lerjen, Jorge Ackermann), "Selig, wer in Träumen stirbt" (Grandes Jorasses by Felix Berg, Robert Steiner), "Licht und Schatten" (Piz badile by Hansjörg Auer), "Grenzen der Felskletterei" (Drei Zinnen by Alexander Huber) and "Der zerfallene Berg" (Petit Dru by Steve House, Andy Parkin).

Mount Everest made headlines in 2013 when elite alpinists Ueli Steck and Simone Moro were reportedly attacked by an angry mob of Sherpas at Camp 2 while attempting a cutting edge new route. Amid the bizarre event, Reel Rock was embedded with the climbing team, and given an exclusive look at what happened that day.

On the south face of Annapurna, at 7,400 metres, Iñaki Ochoa de Olza is dying. His rope companion sounds the alarm. And, from the other side of the world, the biggest rescue attempt in the history of the Himalayas gets underway. For four days a dozen men including some of the best mountaineers in the world, from ten countries, set out to try to rescue their stricken comrade. Even beyond his peaks Iñaki is an exceptional man. As exceptional as the rescue attempt itself and the men who risked their lives to save him. Exceptional because their one driving rule is to live. To live in the only way possible: with pure intensity and honesty.
