Island of Mountains 2 : A Sky-high Confession

Chung Han Lu, also known as A-Guo, has been setting his own records for climbing without oxygen since 2013. He has successfully reached the top of seven of the eight-thousand-metre peaks in the world. Throughout his journey, he has endeavoured to gradually reduce his dependence regarding sherpas (mountain guides) and to explore his own capacities. He also embarked on a trip to the Jade Mountain East Peak which was a decisive experience for his awakening. During this expedition, departing from the established traditional route, A-Guo and Yuanzhi led the director to experience a journey to the brink of fear, marking his first encounter with such emotions.

"Throughout the shooting, we realized that, in order to understand the mindset of an "adventurer", you had to first become an adventurer. Amidst what others might think were mad adventurous undertakings, we wondered what motivations drove these athletes to continually try and accomplish even more extreme feats." Howard Cheng
