Streaming movie in 6 parts on a K2 climb from last year. Good footage and story. And an almost happy ending.

Cheers Porphy

Well, I think 18 climbers reached K2 summit that day, but one climbing Sherpa, Nima Sherpa, fell to his death on summit day, and one italian climber, Stefano Zafka, was lost on the way down. It is not part of the film, but mentioned, and there is dedications at the end to the two of them.
