"Climbing the 7 summits"

About the documentary

This story is about setting goals—goals so ambitious they seem unattainable. Yet, by taking it one step at a time, even massive goals can become achievable. Our objective was to climb the highest peak on every continent within a single year. The documentary is about far more than just the climbs themselves; it covers the journeys to different continents, the people we met, and the mental challenges we faced.

Join us to see if we achieved our shared goal: reaching the summit!

The documentary consists of four episodes:
1. At The Foot
2. The Waiting Game
3. The Push
4. Pick A Rock

The People

Before this huge adventure we were strangers. Almost 5 years later we are friends for life. Together we went through enormous highs and lows. We pushed each other to get the very best out of ourselves. Each of us with a different goal. Jur to reach the summit, Hylke to capture the journey as well as he possibly could. Together we are the thread running through this story, our story
