In a breathtaking turn of events high in the Himalayas, two climbers, one British and one American , find themselves stranded at over 6,000 meters, where the thin air and sheer altitude make rescue operations near impossible. With helicopter evacuation out of the question, hope now hinges on three soldiers from Chamonix's high-altitude rescue team, GMHM_Chamonix, who have halted their own climb to undertake this perilous mission.

The climbers, caught in a situation where every breath is a struggle, are relying on the unparalleled expertise of these mountaineer soldiers, known for their audacious rescues in extreme conditions. The decision to abandon their ascent for a rescue operation underscores the gravity of the situation and the commitment to saving lives at any cost.
