"A Fight to Survive K2"

"The Story Behind the Movie Vertical Limit"
The summit of K2 is the second-highest mountain peak in the world. It was first reached in 1954 by an Italian team. Universally known as "The Savage Mountain," K2 is unrelentingly steep. Its treacherous storms and unbelievable vertical drop have contributed to the deaths of many elite mountain climbers.

Ed Viesturs, one of the best climbers of all, plays himself in Vertical Limit. Helping the fictional siblings Peter Garrett and Annie Garrett fight for their lives on K2, Viesturs brings credibility and expertise to the movie.
