I would like to introduce my motorcycle adventure travel documentary. This journey took two months and 23 000 km. I visited 9 countries and most of the time spent in Russia, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. From deeps of lake Baikal to the tops of the Pamir mountains.
Located on the border between Pakistan and China, K2 is the second-highest mountain on Earth. For many climbers, it is an even greater prize than Everest, with limited routes, a steeper ascent, and a harder push to its summit. Nicknamed the Savage Mountain, K2s peak juts unprotected into the atmosphere, regularly exposing climbers and porters to life-threatening weather conditions.
Despite being paid at rates far below those received by international expedition leaders, such porters – whether they provide critical supplies to expedition base camps or take on higher-altitude tasks in support of ascending climbers – do some of the most difficult and dangerous work and these efforts make them worthy of recognition as the true heroes of mountaineering.
I spent 7 days solo hiking 90 miles on the Picos de Europa trail in the Asturias

Annapurna is considered to be the worlds most treacherous yet thrilling mountains to explore. Climbers who have experienced summiting other
over-8000 metre peaks are particularly drawn to this majestic mountain, to its unpredictable climate changes and pristine beauty captured in this exceptional film. To climb Annapurnas South Face is to test every last grain of strength, knowledge, and instinct in conditions that forgive no mistakes.
