Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for anyone with a bit of wanderlust and anyone who likes learning something new. Paris does a lot of the work, and it looks wonderful. Same wavelength as Free Solo or The Dawn Wall.
The mood
Exciting, eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 27 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

He climbed solo, without a rope, the north face of the Eigers in 2h47. Below him the rock wall steigen über 1000 Meter ab. Mehr Ueli Steck, the lone wolf, does not lose his temper. For a year, Steck has meticulously prepared this record of less than three hours. The portrait of an extraordinary man who takes us on a journey to the most beautiful and challenging peaks in the world.
