NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE
Benedik Bohm and Sebastian Haag are up to something completely new in the world of mountaineering: the speed ascent of a major peak followed by a ski descent, which the Germans call “sky running.” In this film, they attemt to sky run to the summit of Gasherbrum II (8,053 m) and descend back to base camp in one day. Accompanied by the thoughts of the legendary mountaineer and extreme skier Hans Kammerlander, the audience gains an unusual insight into the ambience of the Karakorum, as well as the exertions, fears and pleasures of the two young mountaineers.
