Good Documentary but not brilliant
7 April 2016
Good documentary,over all I liked i. However in documentary they said Messner was first to complete Magic Line. Messner did find it himself never finished the route, but was the one to name it.Magic line in fact was first climbed by a Polish/Slovak team.

Many said that Messner called Magic line suicide and most difficult route! However in TV interview he said:I Never called it suicidal: "It's a safe route. The South face (climbed by Kucuczka in 1986 and called Polish route) is too dangerous. In fact so called Polish route was not yet repeated.

Documentary was good however it didn't show real difficulty and human struggle against the mountain. this mountain is definitely very hard but some how that was missing here.
