Watched this tonight with my son (17) and found it interesting.
A thoughtful climbing film that’s more about the people than the climbing.
It doesn’t shy away from some difficult aspects of people’s lives in terms of what they have been through, but it still feels very authentic.
Also beautifully shot and edited.
Well done to all involved.
Po-faced to the max.

Beautiful editing. Avalonia was by far my favorite segment. Such a poetic piece, person.
