Race to the Summit

Ueli Steck and Dani Arnold, two renowned Swiss climbers, found themselves in a gripping race against time and each other in the Swiss Alps. Their high-stakes competition to conquer the north face of the Alps at record speed is the heart of the film "Race to the Summit," directed by Nicholas de Taranto and Götz Werner.

The film tells the true and thrilling story of these two adventurers. Known for their lightning-fast climbing skills, Steck and Arnold often braved the mountains solo, even without all the usual gear. In 2011, the climbing world was stunned when Dani Arnold shattered Ueli Steck's previous speed record on Mount Eiger.

Spurred on by this, the two climbers decided to take on a daring challenge; a head-to-head race up the Alps. Their mission to be the fastest climber attracted fellow climbers and enthusiasts alike. But who ultimately clinched the title of the fastest climber? The answer lies in the exhilarating documentary "Race to the Summit."
