But behind its perfect silhouette lies one of Nepal’s most dangerous peaks: technical terrain, hanging seracs looming above the camps, fixed ropes, and an altitude that leaves no room for mistakes. And most climbers die on the descent, just when they believe they have made it. This documentary tells 10 true stories of tragedy on its slopes: the collapse of a massive serac that buried an entire camp with six people, a legendary BASE jumper who did not survive his leap from the summit, an earthquake that unleashed ice onto a climbing team, broken fixed ropes, high-altitude pulmonary edema, and two climbers who vanished without a trace in 1959. Ten names, one mountain. Every chapter reveals how the world’s most elegant peak claimed those who dreamed of reaching it.
