Lhotse

Film Still: Lhotse

Lhotse

2019 USA / Duration: 23 mins
Directed by: Dutch Simpson, Nick Kalisz

The fourth-highest mountain in the world, Lhotse has long captured the imagination of climbers. In 2018, professional ski mountaineers Hilaree Nelson and Jim Morrison attempted the first ski descent of the iconic Lhotse Couloir. The pair face all the challenges of Himalayan climbing at 8,000 meters — avalanches, the Khumbu Icefall, and sometimes near-zero visibility. But Nelson and Morrison embrace this risk-taking as a way to live in the moment and push self-imposed boundaries in pursuit of their passion.
