In 1950 a group of French reached for the first time in history the top of a mountain of more than eight thousand meters: Annapurna, 8091 meters. That expedition was one of the greatest feats -and while the most dramáticas- of lived in the Himalayas. Maurice Herzog, the only one of those magnificent climbers and head of the expedition, returns forty-nine years later to meet a Spanish expedition led by Juanito Oiarzábal, which aims to become the sixth person in the world to scale the fourteen peaks over eight thousand meters. If for Herzog was the first to Juanito Annapurna it is his last eight thousand. While Herzog recalls that feat, the Spanish start climbing the most dangerous mountain: gigantic avalanches, terrifying cracks, storms that convert retreat into a deadly trap. Everything in the Annapurna is designed to defend against intruders. The Goddess is the least promoted fertilida ochomil and adventure of the men became one of the most beautiful reflections of the history of mountaineering.
