Director Statement

I've done my best to present this journey in a way, that will allow the viewer to dive into this climbing experience, pass this path together with me. And I really hope it will work that way.
Belukha mountain is the tough one. Hardly predictable weather, avalanches, and challenging paths make this summit unachievable for many of those who want to go there one day. This gives a detailed picture of what it's like and invites to experience this climbing path virtually.
