Many accidents could be avoided if every climber would follow a few precautions and would know about the major risks in the mountains.
Risk factors are lack of preparation, lack of experience and overconfidence, poor physical condition and bad equipment. To shoot a film project about the summiting of the “Cirspitze” in the Dolomites, it requires good climbing condition and courage. In advance many things need to be considered and the preparations are here the decisive factor. A corresponding equipment was necessary to capture the moment in the mountains. The film works with the mountain rescue “Hochpustertal” prove to be extremely difficult because what started out as planned exercise turned serious.
One of the guides lost his footing and fell about 30 meters down the cliff face.
