Nanga Parbat - Der Tödliche Berg

June 29, 2004 - 9:15pm. It's pitch dark when Günter, Jörg, Christian and Markus reach the mythical summit, fulfilling the dream of their lives. However, the fatal spiral that will change the course of the expedition has already begun: Jens, who has given up on the summit, is wandering on the Diamir wall, pursued by his hallucinations. The exhausted 64-year-old Günter slips and disappears into the darkness. Markus also falls, losing his down jacket, gloves and all his equipment. He is now alone, freezing cold, lost on the immense wall. The base camp anxiously follows the inevitable chain of events. As another day draws to a close, everyone wonders who will survive a second night on the icy face of Nanga Parbat...
