Overview
- The film had its world premiere at the Munich Filmfest and centers on Messner’s first ascent of the 6,700‑metre Chumik Kangri in Pakistan.
- Messner says the movie was made with input from director Veronika Kaserer and Timeline Production but that he did not have final say over the title.
- He describes becoming a father as a major break with his previous pace of life and says he has largely stopped high‑altitude climbing to focus on parenting and running the family farm with help.
- Messner reports he currently has no contact with his father, Reinhold Messner, after public inheritance disputes that have been handled through legal correspondence.
- He warns that climate change has increased objective mountain hazards, citing a rise in rockfall and about ten climbing partners or acquaintances he has lost, and says that makes modern alpinism far riskier.
