14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible

I love films about people taking on great challenges, but this is something else! Gurka Nimsdai Purja and his team of four scale the 14 highest mountains over 8000m, and in just 7 months. Spectacular in every way, it's quite a ride, and though there isn't much time to dwell on the details of climbing the individual mountains so it all feels a bit rushed at times (14 mountains in 110 mins) the film still gives overviews which are illustrated well. You wonder what they'll top this achievement with!!

Nimsdai (Nims ) Purja was born poor in Nepal. He joined the British army Ghurka regiment where he served for six years before joining the elite SBS where he served a further ten years. That would be plenty for most, but not Nims. After his first mountaineering experience in 2014 he decided to climb 14 of the World's highest and most dangerous peaks. This feat had been achieved before but took eight years to complete. Nims Purja attempted it in 7 months! A single climbing season.

This astounding attempt is documented in this one of a kind movie. Of course the scenery is spectacular but it's eclipsed by the bravery and good hearted dynamism of Nimsdai (Nims ) Purja, a real life superhero.

This was an amazing watch. Loved the thrill, the incredible shots, the inspiring story, all of it.

But some mountains did feel a bit rushed. Yeah, he climbed all three mountains in 4 days, but there must have been unique challenges in each one. I wish they'd spent more time on that.

Utterly awe-inspiring and a reminder of how so many people are ignored and taken for granted.

Be like nimsdai and know you are magic, magnificent and capable of even more than you dared dream.

"From the beginning of our life, we are approaching death."

14 peaks had me in awe. It was beyond a great documentary and an incredible feat.

The amount that Nims went through can tell stories for what seems like the lifetimes of 2 people. Endeavor after endeavor, mountain after mountain, and it brought with it unforeseen difficulties. Nims and his team climbed more than 8000 m+ peaks. They climbed mountains within their mind, body, and soul.

I hope him and his team get more recognition and credit. Wow!

I hope this crew gets recognition for such a beautiful documentary that assembled for the world.

Project possible shows what's possible - especially with belief. Nims inspired me now that I'm going on to climb my own mountains in life (literally and figuratively;)).
