Meru is known as one of the most difficult and dangerous peak in the Himalayas. Esepcially the vertical wall Shark’s Fin requires every climbing skill including high altitude climbing, ice climbing and rock climbing, so no one has reached the top yet. In 2008, three American climbers challenged Meru. Conrad Anker in his fifties wanted to fulfill the dream that his mentor Dugs Stump never accomplished, so he starts climbing with his younger partners Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk. They almost reach the top after 17 days of climbing, but they are forced to turn back due to worsening of weather. They come back to the mountain three years later. Renan meets a crisis due to a stroke, but they are willing to go on. Through the film, we can see why they cannot stop life risking climbing and not only just climbing skills but also authentic alpinism is instructed from seniors to juniors. A strong connection over generation leaves a heavy echo like Meru.
