High in the Karakoram of Pakistan, the Nameless Tower in the Trango Massif rises to 6,251 meters. Its Eternal Flame route traces 650 meters of steep granite and has been climbed only a handful of times since its first ascent in 1989. This time, the challenge is different. Climbed solo. The film follows Stefano Ragazzo through preparation and execution on one of the world’s most iconic big wall lines, marking the first ever solo ascent of the route.
Legacy is earned. For BD Athlete Connor Herson, the only way to leave something behind that stands the test of time is to first try the benchmarks that have already been established.

After a fourth-go ascent of Pete Whittaker’s testpiece Crown Royale (5.14c), Connor Herson set his sights on the next king line of Norway’s Profile Wall: The Recovery Drink (5.14c). Established by Nico Favresse in 2013, this 35-meter pitch is overhanging and protected entirely with gear—the perfect recipe for Connor’s skillset.

This is a story about how a normal family chose climbing, meaning and persistence over comfort and convention.
Climbing has been Kirsty's and Hardin's way of life for over 20 years. After having their two kids Arlo (8) and Eia (6), they slowly began to realize that they wanted to build their family life and their children's childhood around what climbing has always given them — freedom, adventure and time together outdoors in the wild each day.
