An enjoyable doc done around the 100th year

An enjoyable doc done around the 100th year anniversary of the first summit of K2 in 2009. It covers some of K2's history, but suffers from a poor narration track, the climbers are fantastically dull and it sort of just hangs on until the credits. A running time of a little over 65 minutes speaks volumes too. If you're searching for some climbing/BASE documentaries, I suggest films like Touching The Void (4.5 stars), The Summit (4), McConkey (4), Free Solo (4.5), Meru (4), Valley Uprising (4) and Sunshine Superman (4). Also, do yourself a favor: NEVER watch Vertical Limit (1 star).

Really interesting documentary showing just how impenetrable K2

Really interesting documentary showing just how impenetrable K2 can be to even the most experienced of climbers. Some of the views and historical aspect add to the quality of the documentary. Very awe inspiring.

Terrific documentary on the perils of attempting to

Terrific documentary on the perils of attempting to summit K2, the world's second highest mountain, which has the notoriety of having the second highest fatality rate among 8000+m mountains.
