Deadly Himalayas

The extreme mountaineers Benedikt Böhm and Sebastian Haag share a deep friendship that ended tragically in 2014. During an expedition in the Himalayas, an avalanche takes Sebastian to his death. Twenty years later, Benedikt returns to the place where it all began: shared successes, world records in speed mountaineering and a feeling of limitless strength meet defeats, fatal accidents and avalanche accidents and reveal the dangers and fragility of extreme mountaineering. “Deadly Himalaya” tells the story of an extraordinary friendship, a difficult farewell and the long journey to finally making peace in three parts.
