Synopsis

Why risk everything on a thousand-foot cliff? After legendary Taiwanese climber Shiu Yau Chiun's fatal accident, his Canadian climbing partner Patrick Lindsay and student (the director) lead a cross-border team back to Yushan's East Peak North Face. Battling storms and grief, they establish a new route, “Shiu Be Here,” honoring their friend. Years later, Patrick returns to a remote Canadian summit, whispering, “See you on the next peak.”
