The A.O.
Jochen Scholl (2018)
Adam Ondra is one of the most successful and versatile sport climbers of our time. He successfully climbed the most difficult route in the world, called Silence, and established a new level of difficulty—9c. The Czech climber has also shown what he can do when it comes to big wall climbing; he ascended the Dawn Wall in just eight days—on his very first trip to Yosemite. His strong, lean body seems to effortlessly transcend gravity. But is it simply Adam’s muscle power and endurance that enables him to conquer the most difficult routes? Or is it his mental strength that drives him climb an 8a while blindfolded? We find out more about the forces that drive this climbing talent to new heights in The A.O.- 2018

Tamara
Christian Schmidt (2015)
In 2012, Tamara Lunger saw the 8,611-meter summit of K2 for the first time. The sight of it was awe-inspiring, not least because K2 is considered the most dangerous of the 8,000-meter peaks: More than 80 climbers have lost their lives here. Still, in 2014, the 28-year-old made her way back to Pakistan with alpinist Nikolaus Gruber to take on the biggest challenge of her mountaineering career. Between fear, passion and happiness—this is a portrait of a woman who lives and loves extremes.Christian Schmidt, Joachim Hellinger

A new perspective
Corey Rich (2012)
For many years Austrian David Lama has dominated the field of international climbing. But now it‘s time he raises the level once again. In July 2012 he set out with climbing partner Peter Ortner to face the Nameless Tower/Trango Tower- part of the Trango Towers in the Karakoram mountain range- in a remote region of Pakistan.Together they attempt a free climb of the Eternal Flame route- one of the most notoriously challenging routes in the climbing world- made famous in 2009 by renowned German climbers The Huber brothers. At 6000 metres conditions are extreme- it‘s bitterly cold- even in the height of summer the snow doesn‘t melt. With minimal gear they begin their summit bid accompanied by climber and cameraman Corey Rich who captures an insight into the Lama‘s climbing progression. With additional sweeping shots from Remo Masina piloting a radio control Dedicam results in unique panoramic views from the huge Pakastani mountain range.- 2012

Je veux
Joachim Hellinger (2012)
French singer ZAZ was singing on a street corner in Montmartre, in a cabaret ensemble, and in a Latin rock band. Ever since her breakthrough two years ago she has given dozens of concerts in front of thousands of fans. But she has never sung at an altitude of 4800 meters. Her dream is a concert on Mont Blanc. Unplugged of course, only accompanied by her guitarist Benoît and Mathieu on the contrabass. But before they can play on the top of Europe all three musicians must ascend the mountain. Being quite green alpinists this is not an easy feat, not to mention the contrabass which has to be carried all the way up as well...
