In the summer of 2021, several tragic events took place in the Tien Shan mountains. A first-hand story about one of them is in our film.
Lord of the sky - so the ancient Turks called Khan-Tengri Peak, the second highest peak of the severe Tien Shan.
There are several routes to the top from 5A to 5B category of difficulty, the classic route from the south goes through the "bottle" - a narrow space between the shoulder of Chapaev Peak and Khan Tengri. Avalanches and ice collapses often descend in the bottle. Therefore, the route from the south is considered more dangerous. The route to Khan-Tengri from the North is physically and technically harder, there are more railings and ice walls. At 5900 lintel, both routes converge and there is still a kilometer of ropes to the top along steep rocks.
Khan-Tengri is harsh: altitude, changeable weather... The tragedy could have happened anywhere.
But the trouble came from where they did not expect ...
