Life Is Climbing (2023)

Life Is Climbing 2023 / ライフ・イズ・クライミング！ 2023 / Raifu Izu Kuraimingu!

Visually impaired climber Koichiro Kobayashi, also known as Koba, relies on the voice of his site guide, Naoya Suzuki, as if it were his own eyes. He climbs the rock connected to him by a rope, entrusting his life to it. They met in 2001 and went on to win four consecutive Paraclimbing World Championships. In 2021, the two will travel to the United States with the aim of standing on the spire of the bright red sandstone Fisher Towers in Utah. Unimaginable nature, dynamic rocky mountains formed over hundreds of millions of years, and the sight of Mr. Kobayashi's benefactor, Erik Weihenmayer, a blind climber who has conquered the highest peaks on seven continents in the world. After being reunited, they finally reach the destination of their journey and take on a seemingly impossible challenge. (Source: Japanese = eiga.com || Translation = XuongPhim)
