Mount Meru is a Himalayan peak, home to many climbing routes legendary amongst climbers. "Meru" is the story of Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk, three climbers climbing the Shark's Fin, Mount Meru's most difficult route, parts of which are sheer rock and ice. The trio plans, climbs, fails, plans, climbs and eventually surmounts the mountain. It sounds like a classic sports movie; what sets "Meru" apart is that it is also a profound portrait of humanity, intimacy and grace in the face of nature's majesty.
