Film honours climber’s bravery

In Aug 2008, 24 climbers from several international expeditions converged on High Camp of K2, the last stop before the summit of the most dangerous mountain on earth.

Forty-eight hours later, 11 had been killed in the worst climbing disaster on K2, near Pakistan’s northern border with China.

Among the dead was Ger McDonnell, a mountaineer and engineer from Kilcornan, Co Limerick, and the first Irish person to reach the summit of the world’s second-highest peak.
