“Harvest Moon”

Alpine Documentation (), Robert Frost (USA) 43 min

Four Swiss mountaineers attempt a new challenge in the Himalayas: they want to climb the still unclimbed north western ridge of the Thalay-Sagar (6,904 m) in India, which, due to its extremely difficult climbing passages starting at an altitude of 5,900 m, is considered almost unconquerable. Thanks to their technical aids, the climbers manage to proceed meter by meter under the worst conditions. Then a shocking situation: more than 60 cm of fresh snow force them to leave the wall because of the high avalanche danger. However, the team sets off for the summit again only 4 days later. There are still 150 steep and crumbling meters of rock face left for Stephan Siegrist, Denis Burdet, Thomas Senf and Ralph Weber.
