About
If you want a gripping true-life adventure driven by teamwork, perseverance, and awe-inspiring Himalayan views, Meru should hit hard; Not for you if you dislike extreme-risk stories or want a lighter, purely motivational climb tale like Free Solo or Touching the Void.
Pros: breathtaking mountain footage; gripping real stories; inspiring determination | Cons: familiar mountaineer backstories; risk feels relentlessly intense; some uneven presentation
