14 vette: scalate ai limiti del possibile

Nimsdai (Nims ) Purja was born poor in Nepal. He joined the British army Ghurka regiment where he served for six years before joining the elite SBS where he served a further ten years. That would be plenty for most, but not Nims. After his first mountaineering experience in 2014 he decided to climb 14 of the World's highest and most dangerous peaks. This feat had been achieved before but took eight years to complete. Nims Purja attempted it in 7 months! A single climbing season.

This astounding attempt is documented in this one of a kind movie. Of course the scenery is spectacular but it's eclipsed by the bravery and good hearted dynamism of Nimsdai (Nims ) Purja, a real life superhero.

This was amazing and one of the best I've seen, his a intelligent man with amazing DNA that none of us have his wife is a complete angel for allowing him this freedom to live his dreams If you like this and you will the doc on Fred Becky is slightly better its available on amazon for a price i think a one day rental was $1.

I loved this movie. It took so much determination, courage and focus on climbing all the higher mountains. This is absolutely a must watch movie/ documentary. The view from the summits is totally incredible.

"From the beginning of our life, we are approaching death."

14 peaks had me in awe. It was beyond a great documentary and an incredible feat.

The amount that Nims went through can tell stories for what seems like the lifetimes of 2 people. Endeavor after endeavor, mountain after mountain, and it brought with it unforeseen difficulties. Nims and his team climbed more than 8000 m+ peaks. They climbed mountains within their mind, body, and soul.

I hope him and his team get more recognition and credit. Wow!

I hope this crew gets recognition for such a beautiful documentary that assembled for the world.

Project possible shows what's possible - especially with belief. Nims inspired me now that I'm going on to climb my own mountains in life (literally and figuratively;)).

"14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible" (2021 release; 101 min.) is a documentary about a Nepal mountaineer's seemingly impossible attempt to summit the earth's 14 mountains that are higher than 8000 meters, all in a single season (April through October, 2019). "Don't be afraid to dream big", reflects Nirmal Purja, the man at issue. We then go back in time as we learn of Purja's modest upbringing and his eventual joining of the UK Special Forces. Along the way we are also introduced to Purja's family, non more so than his now-ailing mother, who looms over the family's history. At this point we are 10 min into the documentary.

Couple of comments: this is the latest documentary from Torquil Jones. Here he is given unfettered access to the large-than-life, almost dare-devilish, dream of Pruja to do what nobody has ever tried before. To put in perspective, talking head Jimmy Chin reminds us that an expedition to summit one of these mountains typically takes 2 months. Here Purja is going to summit the world's 14 highest mountains in just over 6 months... Just crazy, right? Along the way, we are treated to some out of this world footage about these mountains.

"14 Peaks" started streaming on Netflix a week or so ago. I caught it the other night, and I was amazed how quickly time flew by as I was watching this. If you have any interest in extreme sports, or in simply an awe-inspiring slice of life in general, I'd readily suggest you check this out, and draw your own conclusion.
