Solitary climbs to the Himalayas are uncommon due to the huge
compromise they represent. What would happen if the solitary
mountaineer falls in a crack? Would it make sense to cry for help in
one of the most inhospitable zones of the Earth? Apart from overcoming
the inherent risks of the climb, the mountaineer must fight with the
immense psychological pressure of making the right choices, since the
first error can easily become the last. After fifteen years of
preparation in various mountain chains in the world, Ecuadorian
mountaineer Carla Perez sets out to conquer her second eight-thousand
meter Summit with an even greater challenge: to make it without
artificial oxygen, with no expedition mates and without high altitude
sherpas. A completely solitary climb, in which Carla must face
enormous mental, physical and emotional barriers, in order to surpass
the limits.
