One of the most daring and difficult climbs of last year was the first ascent of the Shark Fin on Mt. Meru put up by Jimmy Chin, Renan Ozturk and Conrad Anker. Those three men are some of the most experienced and respected climbers around and this expedition still pushed them to the very edge of their physical and mental limits. The video below is trailer for the documentary of that climb and it gives you a sense of the challenges that these three men had to over come just to reach the top. The film looks fantastic, that is if you enjoy watching climbers suffer.
