Robert Jasper is an elite mountaineer. No other climber in the world is in such high standards of performance in all varieties of alpinism. His hobby is ice climbing. In the film he takes us through all the stages of his ice climbing career. From the ascent of the NE wall of the 4,099 meter high Monch to the frozen couloirs in the Mont Blanc massif, to the extreme ice climbing. We accompany him to Chamonix, the Basler Jura and to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. We see him in 'Nuit Blanche WI 6' in Argentiere, the most difficult icefall in the Alps. This is a film about personal peak experiences.

On the plateau of the Gran Sabana in southern Venezuela, the Acopan Tepui towers over the jungle in the sky. It is one of the table mountains that shaped erosion about 70 million years ago. The Acopan Tepui is the dream destination of a German-Venezuelan expedition. The team of extreme mountain climbers, which includes Stefan Glowacz, Kurt Albert, Holger Heuber and Ivan Calderon, tries in 2006 to climb the 700 meters of the northern wall of the Acopan, which rises vertically from the jungle for the first time.
