A high-adrenaline tale of young climber Peter Garrett, who must launch a treacherous and extraordinary rescue effort up K2, the world's second highest peak. Confronting both his own limitations and the awesome power of nature's uncontrollable elements, Peter risks his life to save his sister, Annie, and her summit team in a race against time. The team is trapped in an icy grave at 26,000 feet - a death zone above the vertical limit of endurance where the human body cannot survive for long. Every second counts as Peter enlists the help of a crew of fellow climbers, including eccentric, reclusive mountain man Montgomery Wick, to ascend the chilling might of the world's most feared peak to save her. Written by
Sujit R. Varma
The toeless feet of character "Montgomery Wick" seen at the beginning of the film actually belong to mountaineer Mark Whetu, who lost his toes while spending a night outdoors above 28,000 feet during a 1994 attempt on Everest. See more »

Everything shown about belaying and climbing techniques, high altitude mountaineering, helicopter usage, high altitude medicine (exception: dex), high altitude mountaineering clothes and the shape of K2 is wrong. See more »

Having climbed in the Andes, Tian Shan, St. Elias and other
mountain ranges across the planet, I was often asked what I
thought of this movie, and it's accuracy.
This is, without doubt, the least accurate film on climbing I have
ever seen. This movie is simply absurd. I consider it about as
"accurate" as, say, Spy Kids is to global espionage.
In addition to the gaffs pointed out, I wanted to state what was
most amusing to me: Inside the crevasse, the climbers ice tools
bounce off the crevasse walls like they're made out of solid steel
(and 'ping' just like it). But when Chris O'Donnall does his full
sprint (at altitude!) and huge leap across a cavernous abyss, he
drives his ice tools into the other side - made of solid rock - and
sticks like Spiderman. The film is filled with many other absurd
implausabilities that insult the sport it manipulates in the guise of
entertainment.
Aside from that, as so many others have noted, the movie is
simple minded action. If you don't mind laughing at much of it, and
don't for a moment think it represents realistic climbing, leave your
brain at the door and you might have some fun. But most people
will just find it absurd rubbish.
