A great accomplishment spoilt by over dramatisation and self indulgence. The main character starts as a very positive and outgoing person but becomes a egomaniacal self centred person. All the drama about his mum being ill? If your mum was ill, would you be taking the cameras with you every time you went to see her, even in the hospital?
I think most climbers don't care what other people think of them - they climb because they love the thrill of climbing. This movie was far more of an ego trip for the protagonist.
If you want to see an outgoing and beautiful movie with far more challenging and crazy climbs with unbelievable scenery and a much more grounded protagonist, please watch The Alpinist! It's honestly a much better film.
