To Be First: The Quest for Yangmolong
2014・United States・85 minutes
Among the last unclimbed peaks in the world, Yangmolong Peak, located in a remote region of China, stands quietly at an elevation of 6,060 meters, largely unknown. This film documents a climbing team's three-year journey to challenge Yangmolong Peak three times. They not only battle the high altitude, but also face threats from local villagers, unpredictable weather, and deadly rock and ice falls. Every step is fraught with danger, and the climbers must make the most difficult decision between life safety and their dreams—to give up? Or move forward without hesitation to complete this unprecedented adventure?
