This short documentary about the unbelievable achievement undertaken by Nims Purja and his team of fellow Nepalese sherpas is just astounding!
Prior to his mountaineering he was in the military serving with the Gurkhas, first member to be selected for the special forces serving in the SBS, that in itself is a hell of an achievement.
Then he decides to smash the current 7 year record of summitting all 14 of the world's highest mountains, (all over 8,000m) by doing it in 7 months. All with no money and running on self belief and whatever financing he can scrape together.
The footage from the various summits is stunning, and clearly shows how tough and daunting each summit was. How Nims and his team kept being able to push through, making their summits in record time, often in the dark, and rescuing other climbers in the process...is an incredibly motivating and inspiring watch!
