Alpine Warriors

The story

This is a story about the successes of Slovenian, and, to a lesser extent, Croatian mountaineering, led by Stipe Božić, across the frozen, steepest, and most dangerous Himalayan cliffs in the world. The successes of the climbers are conveyed by important authorities in world alpinism, including New Zealander Edmund Hillary, the legendary Himalayan chronicler Elizabeth Hawley, world-renowned Italian alpinist Reinhold Messner, and British actor Brian Blessed. According to the book Alpine Warriors by Canadian writer Bernadette McDonald, the testimonies of the surviving participants are accompanied by authentic documentary film footage from the highest peaks in the world, filmed by Stipe Božić over a span of 50 years.
