Chasing Mountains

Chasing Mountains follows five mountaineers as they battle to climb the world’s 14 highest peaks. Who will make history as the first woman to summit all 14?  In the series are mountaineers Edurne Pasaban, Gerlinde Kalternbrunner, Nives Meroi, Oh Eun-sun and Go Mi-young. In the first two episodes, Edurne survives a blizzard and overcomes a battle with her mental health. Nives’ husband becomes ill on an important ascent. In episode three, the mountaineers are climbing the final peaks. They say it’s not a race, but their sense of competition is intense. Can they all make it?
