NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE
It’s a mountaineer’s dream of unspoiled peaks, of a place that’s almost so conceled and secret that it has been kept largely undiscovered. In April of 2006, three mountaineers and a doctor, led by Karl Unterkircher, set out for a sensational expedition to the Gyalthang Mountains in Kahm, East Tibet. Having just one satellite photo in their possession, they want to reach the mysterious Mount Genyen (6,200 meters). This film documents an outstanding alpine performance: a small group of mountaineers who dare to ascend the unknown north face of Genyen in just one day.
