14 Peaks

The emotional tug-of-war between the greater glory and the greater good is what lies at the core of 14 Peaks- the recently realeased Netlfix documentary chronicling Nims’ attempt to summit the world’s 14 highest peaks (all of which stand 8,000m or higher) in seven months during 2019. For context, the previous record was seven years, and among the first men to set it was Reinhold Messner – easily one of the most accomplished explorers in recent history.
