Our Judges say:

Epic. Incredible footage, very powerful story, the film brings you into the characters so you get it and from the comfort of a chair can imagine what it's like to take on mountains like this.

David Hanney

In the high-stakes game of big-wall climbing, the Shark’s Fin on Mount Meru may be the ultimate prize. Sitting at the headwaters of the sacred Ganges River in Northern India, the Shark’s Fin has seen more failed attempts by elite climbing teams over the past 30 years than any other ascent in the Himalayas.
