“Even when you think you’re f*cked, you’re only actually 45% f*cked” – Nimsdai Purja’s journey to climb the world’s highest peaks is an incredible tale of bravery, courage, strength, and perseverance.
14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible follows Nirmal (Nimsdai) Purja’s quest to climb all 14 of the world’s 8,000-meter mountains.
The previous world record for such a feat was just under 8 years – Nims completed the task within a 7-month window between April and October of 2019.
‘Project Possible’ was a quest not only to complete the unimaginable, but to put a spotlight on the Nepali mountain guides who risk their lives to take Western climbers up the world’s tallest peaks every year.
Nims completed the task alongside Mingma David Sherpa, Galjen Sherpa, and Gesman Tamang.
Director Torquil Jones did an incredible job of sharing Nims’ daredevil lifestyle and personal struggles.
In an interview at Kendal Film Festival, Nims revealed how he captured the film’s footage without a documentary deal in sight. It was only in the months following that he met up with Jones to go through hundreds of hours of footage.
