The story

After attempting but failing to summit Meru in 2008, Anker, Chin, and Ozturk return to the mountain to conquer its peak – a 4,000 foot wall known as the "Shark's Fin". As they climb, the men also document their ascent. "You know, I'm always a climber first," said Chin on balancing climbing with filmmaking.
