Jimmy Chin is a rare all-rounder in the mountaineering industry. He is a top expert in rock climbing, iceberg climbing, skiing, and photography. After graduating from college, Jimmy ate and lived in the car, climbed mountains everywhere and lived without a fixed place. A generation of immigrant parents from China were worried and worried that he was a homeless (tramp) who did not work properly. However, they are now married to a beautiful wife (the director of Meru) who graduated from Princeton University, a proper winner in life! The team leader Conrad is a world-class top mountaineer and a man of love and righteousness. More than a decade ago, when he was still living in the car with his partner Alex, he encountered an avalanche while hiking in the Himalayas, and his best friend Alex died tragically. Conrad and alex and alex's widow jenny comfort each other and love each other. Conrad and jenny marry and raise alex's three children. Renan is an unprotected solo rock climber, painter and filmmaker. In 2010, he fell off a cliff while skiing and was seriously injured. The doctor told him that he may become a vegetative state or be unable to walk for life. However, he rehabilitated actively and tenaciously with an extraordinary will, and after five months he joined the team again and returned to Meru. Jimmy also miraculously survived an avalanche a few days after Renan was injured. This brush with death made him think more deeply about mountaineering.
The biggest highlight of this documentary is not only Meru's majestic beauty, but what is even more rare is that the director did not render and highlight the mountaineering skills of the three top masters, but focused on their tenacity and strong will in the face of difficulties, and The purest and most genuine trust, affection, and connection between climbers.
