Belukha Mountain. Climbing the legend of Siberia
This is a story about a successful climb onto the top of the highest peak of the Altay Mountains - Belukha mountain. Together with fantastic views of the Altay mountains, this film unleashes the theme of the mental experiences that follow climbers the way to the summit – what's in the head in the starting days and the transformation of it during the trip.

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.
