      because the mountain is there

      Five-star praise. Conrad, Jimmy, and Renan spent 10 years climbing Mount Meru. During this period, they experienced the death of a friend, they were almost paralyzed, and they were forced to retreat when they were 100 yards away from the peak. How short and fragile is human life, how much persistence is there. Rarely shiny.

      Since the invention of spacecraft, human beings have gradually lost their respect for nature and the unknown. If the first peak of Mount Everest...

      Failure is not terrible, the terrible thing is that you cannot get out of failure.

      After a rough look, from my point of view, this film is still worth watching, very inspirational. It said that the three protagonists all had some brilliant achievements of their own at the beginning, and they should all live a good and happy life. But an accident happened. While climbing a peak, his golden partner and good friend died unexpectedly. One accidentally fell while skiing and hit his head, which made his hands and feet inflexible and almost became a vegetative state. One...

      Three legendary men, two legendary summits

      It's a pity that I didn't see the high-definition resources, and there may be no high-definition resources in the first place. It records the journey of three legendary men who have climbed Mount Meru twice. The most legendary is Renan. After failing to summit Mount Meru for the first time, he broke his skull while skiing, and fractured two cervical vertebrae on one side. The rupture of the vertebral artery caused ischemia in half of the brain, but he not only recovered to a normal person,...

      The product of destroying nature with mountain chisels for selfish desires

      When I saw the climbers knocking open the small holes on the mountain with a chisel, I felt heartbroken. In particular, how many mountain structures were damaged when I was hanging on the fixing brackets. No wonder Tibetans pray that every climber will be covered with heavy snow. Buried in the snow, I cannot accept this kind of person who destroys the sacred nature for his own selfish desires! Just imagine when the mountains are full of these small holes, what beauty is there to talk about! Is...

      A review without organizational language

      After reading it, let’s talk about a few parts that impressed me.

      1. In 2003, the three of them tried to climb Mount Meru for the first time, an extremely difficult snow peak that no one has reached the top. When they were 100 meters away from the peak, they decided to give up. It was precisely because of the challenge that they wanted to try. It is because of the inaccessibility that I am deeply attracted, and it is because of the fear of life that I try my best to do what I am...

      A real wise man knows how to retreat when he is less than 100 meters away from the summit after 17 days of climbing. Most of these climbers will end up in the mountains, which is the worst ending, but also the best...

      It is a feat for several climbers to climb the peak, and their families face no less worries and challenges in the rear than they do, and they are undoubtedly part of this feat. What's more touching is the promise that the male protagonist's mother asks the male protagonist to make, "Don't die before me (don't let the white-haired person send the black-haired...

    Movie plot

    The "shark fin" on Mount Meru in northern India is a holy grail for professional rock climbers as it offers nearly every possible challenge, requiring heavy equipment to be towed to over 20,000 feet to tackle obstacles, however, no Sherpas would sign up for Meru as they would on Everest. People have tried it countless times, but each time it doesn't make it to the top. It was an irresistible temptation for Conrad Anker, the middle-aged...
