    Phenomenal documentary and illustration of courage and perserverance!
  

*by I***U on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 14, 2023*

While far to old and out of shape to consider technical climbing, I recently watched 3 seasons of Everest and am hooked on the extreme sport.  Meru is every bit as exciting and well produced as those 3 seasons.  Thank you for sharing your life with me.

According to Wikipedia, Mount Meru is “…is the sacred five-peaked mountain of Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist cosmology and is considered to be the center of all the physical, metaphysical and spiritual universes.” It is in the Himalayan mountain range and has an elevation of 6,600 meters (21,850 ft.). Thus, Meru is not anywhere close to being in the fabled group of 14 8,000-meter mountains. But Meru, just a couple thousand feet higher than Kilimanjaro, which numerous non-climbers simply walk up, is one of the very hardest mountains of earth to climb, with the summit only successfully being achieved in 2011. This documentary demonstrates why it is SO difficult, requiring a complete range of excellent mountain-climbing skills.Conrad Anker was the driving force behind the expeditions to Meru. Regrettably I had never heard of him before, though he seems to have been featured on numerous periodicals in the field. His chief claim to fame, somewhat ironically, is finding George Mallory’s body on Everest, where it had laid for 75 years, fairly well-preserved, due to the cold. Anker was accompanied by two other very accomplished mountaineers, Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk.  As Anker says, alpine sports, particularly in the Himalayas, is the most dangerous of sports. The three tried to summit Meru in 2008. For four days they were in their hanging tent, on a ledge, unable to move due to a raging snow storm. As a result, they were low on food. If there was ever a classic example of “discretion is the better part of valor,” when they resumed their climb, they demonstrated it by turning back within a mere 150 meters of the summit. Too late in the day, and zero margin for error. They lived to see “that other day,” the successful climb in 2011.I found all three to be quite likable individuals. Sure, you have to be a bit obsessive and focused. Even if I was 22… and I am now far from it… I don’t think I’d take up mountaineering, preferring the many gentler walks on this earth. Still, it must be a truly great sport, without human opponents. It requires a combination of mental and physical skills, and excellent judgment in how to deal with the unexpected. And your life is literally in your buddy’s hands, so select them well. Jon Krakauer, who wrote “Into Thin Air,” about a disastrous Everest expedition, involving a very bad turn in the weather, provides some excellent incisive narration. Jennifer Lowe-Anker also provides some meaningful commentary. She is now Anker’s wife; she had been married to Anker’s best friend, Lowe, but he died in an avalanche, which almost took Anker’s life also. She had three children by Lowe, which Anker adopted. Keeping it all in the “mountaineer family.”There is a lot of stunning photography and, at least of the mountain, it appears to be done exclusively by the three climbers. They never really explain any of the issues involved in keeping the all-important visual documentation going – for example, they had to have at least two cameras and even in the digital age, there were issues involving the cold and the camera’s usage.“Real men” carry their own gear. And do they ever. Just the amount of climbing rope and carabiners were significant, but never specifically explained. There is one scene of them pulling a 200-pound bag up the hill, with ropes. In general, the gritty logistics are omitted, with the focus being on the spirit of the men and their project. Between the 2008 and 2011 expeditions, both Chin and Ozturk had near-death experiences on the mountains. Chin rather wryly relates an anecdote about his mom, who had fled the Communist takeover in China to start a new life in America. She was quite disappointed in his choice of vocations but extracted one promise: “Just don’t die before me.” He makes that commitment, a useful factor in calculating the “margin for error.”A great film on mountaineering, including those who are obsessed with the straightforward explanation, as Mallory once proclaimed: “Because it is there.” 5-stars, plus.
