SYNOPSIS

Renowned alpinists Josh Wharton and Vince Anderson attempt a free ascent of the Jirishanca, an epic 20,000-foot peak in the Peruvian Andes. The duo will have to tackle 5.13 face climbing, horizontal ice roofs, technical mixed terrain, and treacherous snow mushrooms as they reconcile the inherent risk of climbing with their love of alpine adventure. 

NOTE

[Jinna Lee, Programmer​]

It is a good opportunity to follow the journey of two alpinists who challenge the Jirishanca, an enormous rock wall in the Peruvian Andes. Moreover, unique characters and their love of alpine add zest to the film.
