About this episode
In the chaos of the Death Zone, this group of climbers begins to splinter apart. Some have turned back but others have caught Summit Fever. They want to push upwards at all costs. Even if time is against them.
Cecilie Skog aims to make history as the first Norwegian woman to stand on the top of K2. Standing with the world at her feet, up above the clouds, it will feel like a dream come true.
But she has no idea of the nightmare that is about to unfold. Everything is about to change. And everyone is in terrible danger.
Featuring climbers Cecilie Skog, Lars Nessa, Eric Meyer, Fredrik Sträng, Pasang Lama and Kim Jae-Soo. Also featuring June Yoon as the voice of Kim Jae-Soo, as well as journalist and author Jennifer Jordan.
Special thanks to Fredrik Sträng for providing archival footage.
