"You can't make a single mistake." "It only got worse from that point." Apple TV has revealed their official trailer for a documentary film titled The Last First: Winter K2, another new mountain climbing doc this year. This first premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival at the start of 2026 and shown at other fests. An incredible, eye-opening, edge-of-your-seat documentary film story exploring extreme mountaineering's changing culture during a treacherous winter K2 expedition following John Snorri Sigurjónsson and the Sadparas (Ali Sadpara was their climbing leader), made by acclaimed filmmaker Amir Bar-Lev. Extreme ambition meets devastating consequence. In 2021, climbers tried to make the first winter ascent of K2 – one of the deadliest mountains in the world (tons of films have been made about it before). Tragically, K2's first winter ascent claimed 5 lives – this film reveals modern alpinism's struggles with commercialization, social media impact (ugh), and conflicts between marginalized climbers and traditional elites. This also features iconic Nepalese climber Nimsdai, who sadly passed away in an avalanche a few months ago. I wrote a good review of this doc from Sundance and do recommend it to anyone interested in modern mountain climbing. // Continue Reading ›
