The Summit – Gipfel des Todes (2012)

The Summit – Gipfel des Todes: Directed by Nick Ryan. With Christine Barnes, Hoselito Bite, Walter Bonatti, Marco Confortola. The story of the deadliest day on the world’s most dangerous mountain, when 11 climbers mysteriously perished on K2.

“On August 2008, 11 mountain climbers die on top of the world second highest peak K2. This is a mix of interviews, documentary and recreations to tell the story of the eclectic mix of international teams of climbers. Also it has interviews with Walter Bonatti who is the youngest member of the u0026#39;54 Italian expedition to summit K2 for the first time.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is such a compelling true story. The climb and the descend is very tense. The only problem comes with a confused recounting of any controversy in the last 15 minutes. The ending is about a search for what happened to Ger McDonnell. It seems necessary to concentrate much more on him for the whole movie. Since theyu0026#39;re doing recreations anyways, itu0026#39;s probably best to just do a narrative story with Ger as the protagonist.”
