14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible
In 2019, Nepalese mountain climber Nirmal “Nims” Purja set out to do the unthinkable by climbing the world’s fourteen highest summits in less than seven months. (The previous record was eight years). He called the effort “Project Possible 14/7” and saw it as a way to inspire others to strive for greater heights in any pursuit. The film follows his team as they seek to defy naysayers and push the limits of human endurance.

Why isn't this man a household name?
Nims sums up why I had not heard of this remarkable feat, until watching the documentary on Netflix. It is clear that if this was a white international climber this project would have gained considerably more traction and publicity. Not only did Nims and his team of climbers achieve what sounds quite impossible, two lives were saved during these ascents and descents and they did everything they could risking their own lives to save a third. The selfless acts of bravery deserved more content in this documentary. I have ordered the book to hopefully get more details on these incredible climbers. - prachidoshi-73551 - 9 May 2022
Inspiring
There are some people who are special and carve out incredible paths for rest of humanity to be in awe of!
While I am no subject matter expert love the camaraderie and brotherhood amongst climbers.
