Summary

In the mist-shrouded peaks of New Hampshire's White Mountains, a group of rugged climbers embarks on a perilous ascent, driven by ambition and the thrill of conquest. Led by the determined yet haunted Alex Thorne, they face treacherous ice walls, sudden avalanches, and the fragility of human bonds under extreme duress. Set in the untamed wilderness of the early 20th century, the narrative weaves survival against nature's fury with introspective revelations.
