Apple has released The Last First: Winter K2 globally on Apple TV on October 2. Directed by Amir Bar-Lev, the documentary centers on a 2021 effort to make the first winter ascent of K2.
Apple’s official description identifies Icelander John Snorri Sigurjónsson and the Pakistani father-and-son team of Ali and Sajid Sadpara among the climbers followed. It frames the expedition within a changing mountaineering culture that includes commercial clients, film crews and a Nepalese team pursuing its own place in climbing history.
