MERU Official Trailer

j. mp, OwnMeruFilm In the highstakes pursuit of bigwall climbing, the Shark s Fin on Mount Meru may be the ultimate prize. Sitting 21, 000 feet above the sacred Ganges River in Northern India, the mountain s perversely stacked obstacles make it both a nightmare and an irresistible calling for some of the world s toughest climbers. In October 2008, renowned alpinists Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk arrived in India to tackle Meru. Their planned sevenday trip quickly devolved into a 20day odyssey in subzero temperatures with depleting food rations. Within 100 meters of the elusive summit, their journey like all previous attempts fell short of the goal.
