Synopsis
This is a film about two ordinary guys who want to climb big mountains, and their adventure with one of the most famous mountaineers of our times: Simon Yates, “the man with the knife”, who became world famous in the film “Touching the Void.”
These three mountaineers were part of an expedition to climb Ama Dablam, the 6.856m high peak mountain in the Himalaya. A previous expedition in 2006 ended disastrously when an Englishman, two Swedes and 3 Sherpas died in an avalanche in Camp 3.
In 2008, this expedition is hoping not to suffer the same fate…
