David Lama, Hansjorg Auer and Alex Blumel attempt the unclimbed south east ridge on the mighty Annapurna III in the Nepalese Himalaya. The video follows their aclimatisation rituals and their strategic discussions before following their spectacular summit bid. A superb film showing mountaineering at its highest end.

Sadly both David Lama and Hansjorg Auer lost their lives whilst climbing in the Canadian Rockies on 16 April 2019.
