Must watch! Incredible achievement of 3 driven and humble guys. They are breath-takingly skilled and inteligent when it comes to risk-taking.
And there is so so much at risk. Oh boy.
Camera work is amazing, especially since the same guy climbed and recorded the movie. I can't even understand how someone can climb that crazy peak, let alone climb and record it at the same time. This gives it a higher dose of authenticity and a sense of being there, isolated with them, feeling afraid and excited at the same time.
For a dumb few who wrote in comments that movie should have been recorded by a film crew or someone else: These 3 climbers are the only ones that ever managed to climb this path! It's impossible to get film-crew there. It's like space mission. There is no movie crew on ISS space station, becase they lack skills and resources needed to get/be there. That's why we mostly see selfies of astronauts.
Many scenes are authentically scary. Everything is very real and raw, with no boring nor long scenes. Great edit.
Climbing Meru looks much scarier than climbing Everest. You can't pay sherpas to carry your bags to the top. And there are way more things to carry to Shark's fin than to Everest, and it's much more difficult to carry or set up equipment as the route is completely vertical, like a wall. You sleep in a tent that is hanging in the air 6000m high. Unlike Everest, you can't bring tourists on Shark's fin central route.
