At 23, Austrian mountaineer Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner reached the summit of her first 8,000-meter peak. Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner has climbed all 14 of the seminal 8,000+ meter peaks, from Annapurna to Everest. Upon completing the most daunting and feared mountain, K2, in the remote Karakoram Range, she became the first woman climber to do so without supplemental oxygen or porters. She completed her audacious quest on her 7th attempt up what many consider to be the most daunting of all climbs, the world’s second highest peak,K2—known worldwide as the “Savage Mountain”—in the remote Karakoram Range of Pakistan and China. Through her stories and gripping footage, experience the grit, sheer will, and spunk it took to reach the final summit.
