Climbing is what makes Stanley Leary’s life worth living. Together with the love of his life Roberta he travels the world looking for ever-higher mountains to climb. When Roberta is killed in a car accident, Stanley’s world collapses around him. To fulfil his loved one’s wishes, Stanley and two friends travel to South America to the rugged mountains of Patagonia. They have one aim: open a new route and scatter Roberta’s ashes from the summit.
