Two brothers, one goal and just 180 minutes to reach it. Award winning filmmaker Pepe Danquart accompanies brothers Alexander and Thomas Huber on their endeavour to break a speed-climbing record.
Together with his team he met many technical challenges to capture their attempt to climb up the 1000-metre high towering rock face of “El Capitán” in Yosemite National Park in the United States.
