Im Reich des Shogun

The route "Im Reich des Shogun" has become a legend in the Swiss climbing community. The first ascent in 2000 by Eric Talmadge took no less than 13 years to complete and while the climb was repeated by two of the International greats (Adam Ondra and Alex Megos) no Swiss climber was ever able to follow in Eric's footsteps. Meeting Philipp Geisenhoff, an old friend from my climbing days, and hearing him talk about working the project for 2 years already I had simply had to sign on to shoot and produce this project even tough the outcome was still uncertain.
