In fall 2007 both Munich-based extreme alpinists Benedikt Böhm and Sebastian Haag took off to Nepal to climb „Manaslu“ (8.163 m). Accompanied by the French junior alpinist Nicolas Bonnet they wanted to reach the eighth highest peak of the planet at top speed and ski down again - right through the death zone. But the weather conditions were very bad. In base camp everybody had to stay calm, waiting for the prefect day to start. The climbers made several attempts and had already established some higher camps on the mountain. But then an avalanche struck and destroyed everything. After that the expedition was teetering on the brink of collapse. Fortunately, the forecasters give them the green light again. So Beni, Basti and Nicolas set off immediately and 200 meters below summit they have to make a difficult decision.
