Savage Mountain Plot and Cast
Kristin Harila set out in 2023 to become the fastest person to summit the world's 14 highest peaks. With climbing partner Tenjen Lama Sherpa, she achieved the feat in just 92 days, halving the record held by Nims Purja. Yet her greatest triumph turned into a reckoning: during the final ascent, Harila was accused of stepping over a dying porter, triggering global backlash and debate over ambition and ethics. Drawing on never-before-seen footage from K2, Savage Mountain unpacks the controversy.
