Nuri Sherpa

This documentary featuring Alex Txikón pays tribute to the young mountaineers from Gipuzkoa and Navarre who died during the 2001 Pumori expedition in the Himalayas, recounting in parallel the story of their expedition, and Alex Txikón's expedition in 2018. At the same time, the film follows the story of Suku Maya, a young Nepalese girl closely linked to the family of one of the boys who lost his life in the 2001 accident. A film produced by Baleuko with the collaboration of Alex Txikón and the Basque television.

In December 2017 Alex Txikon travels to the Himalayas to try, for the second time, the first winter ascent to Everest without artificial oxygen. No one has ever done it without artificial oxygen before. This is the story of an impossible adventure. The film focuses on the human side of the adventure, involving the team in charge of the filming task in each phase of the expedition. From the hard life in base camp to the summit attempt; capturing all the feelings of the climbers. An immersive experience where the spectator can enjoy the adventure almost always on the first line.

After his successful winter ascent to Nanga Parbat in 2016 with Simone Moro and Ali Sadpara, the following year, Alex Txikon travels to the Himalayas to try the first winter ascent to Everest without artificial oxygen. No one has ever done it without artificial oxygen before. The team reaches Camp 4 at  South Col (7950m), but, unable to set up a tent due to strong winds, were forced back to Camp 3, where they tried to wait for the storm to subside. Unfortunately, it never did, forcing them to retreat. Up to date, Everest has not been climbed at all in full winter since the first winter ascent by Polish mountaineers Cichy and Wielicki in 1980, and is still yet to see a winter ascent without bottled oxygen.
