Description

On the morning of the 30th of July, 2026, Nirmal Purja was moving up the side of Broad Peak, the twelfth-highest mountain on Earth, when something absolutely terrifying happened. He had stood on top of all fourteen of the world's eight-thousand-meter peaks, faster than anyone in history. He had walked back into the death zone, more than once, to carry dying strangers off these mountains with his own hands. If there was one person you'd have bet on to survive anything the high mountains could do, it was him. But that morning, he was the one who needed saving. This is the story of Nirmal Purja's final climb. Make sure to subscribe for weekly videos!
