“I don’t want to die of cancer.” That gripping statement from a professional climber sets the stage for “Jirishanca.”

It gets heavier from there.

This 9-month-old clip from Reel Rock 18 captures the assumption of risk in the mountains. It focuses on the first ascent of “Suerte Integral,” a 3,500-foot 5.13a WI6+ M7 route on the southeast face of Jirishanca (20,095 feet).

Equally provocative is the climbing duo’s almost constant internal battle with acceptable objective risks.

Runtime: 1 minute, 52 seconds
