K2: The Impossible Descent

I initially watched the feature on Red Bull TV- I prefer the longer version then festival 20 min which I saw in Banff Festival. High Tension film not for fainthearted. For mountain enthusiasts but also anyone interested in world discivery, travel , sport or documentaries.

I really like Canadian narrator and there are some stunning landscape of mountains from the birds eye view perspective .

Thinking of myself - it would deffinatly be impossible to achieve something like that for an average human like me, you got to be fit, train and do it for several years in order to achieve this mountain pick.

Watched 23 min tour edit.

This, this is inspiring! A human at his peak, mentally, physically and emotionally perfect. It's impossible to capture how gnarly this one is on film. To climb K2 and return is a feat in itself (25% of people who attempt to do so die), to spend as long as Bargiel does in the death zone is inhuman, and then to ski down slushy never-before-skied snow... Absolutely out of it!
