Wow. Just got out of a screening for Meru, a new, Sundance award winning documentary about three mens’ attempts to climb the eponymous mountain in the heart of the Himalayan mountains.

This peak has been especially challenging because of the extreme technicality and verticality of the rock at its upper elevations of 21,000 feet, where altitude, winds and cold all combine to make it virtually impossible to ascend to the peak. While my trek to the top of Kili is nothing like the experiences of Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk, it is inspiring nonetheless. I highly recommend watching it, and it can streamed, downloaded or purchased on any movie service.
