Film description below: Director-Producer Nick Ryan Screenwriter Mark Monroe Ireland 2012 95 mins Production company Image Now Films / Pat Falvey Irish and World wide productions. In August 2008, 22 climbers from a number of international expeditions reached the High Camp of K2, the final stop before reaching the peak of the mountain, on an expedition renowned among adventurers as extremely dangerous to attempt. Only 11 would make it down from there. Nick Ryan and his filmmaking team traveled to K2 in an attempt to understand what happened on a day that became known as the most tragic in modern mountaineering history. Through recreations, archive and home movie footage, and interviews with survivors and families of the people who died on the outing, Ryan creates a thorough, investigative and vivid version of events that is emotive, engrossing and, at times, deeply shocking, with the heartbreaking moral choices the climbers faced in attempting to survive presented as a stark reality of adventuring in harsh environments. Robbie Ryan’s (Ginger & Rosa) superb cinematography is effecting, brings viewers as close to the treacherous mountain as most of us will ever want to get. Michael Hayden Director statement The Summit is a feature-length documentary about the deadliest day in modern mountain climbing history. In August 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. 48 hours later, eleven had been killed or simply vanished. At the heart of The Summit lies a mystery about one extraordinary man, Ger McDonnell. By all accounts, he was faced with a heart-breaking dilemma – at the very limit of his mortal resources, he encountered a disastrous scene: three climbers tangled up in ropes and running out of time. In the death zone, above 8,000 metres, the body is literally dying with each passing second. Morality is skewed 180 degrees from the rest of life. When a climber falls or wanders off, the unwritten code of the mountain is to leave them for dead. Had Ger McDonnell stuck to the climbersʼ code, he might still be alive. The Summit is about the very nature of modern adventure. Those who survive carry with them a commodity to sell – The Story. This one remains contentious and fiercely debated. My journey to K2 was a fascinating insight into the reasons why the climbers are prepared to risk so much for a few fleeting moments at the summit of this foreboding mountain. Not being a climber, it helped me understand why someone would accept the one-in-four odds of successfully summiting and surviving. Nick Ryan
