Extreme - Peak Danger: 5. Love is in the Air
Download Peak Danger: 5. Love is in the Air
When Cecilie Skog met Rolf Bae, it was love at first sight. A whirlwind romance quickly followed, as they climbed the world’s tallest mountains, shoulder to shoulder.
Now recently married, she and Rolf wanted to tick off a K2 summit before settling down and starting their family.
But as they descend, darkness is falling - and before long they’ll find themselves caught in the crosshairs of a devastating avalanche.
Featuring climbers Cecilie Skog, Lars Nessa, Eric Meyer, Fredrik Sträng and Wilco van Rooijen.
Special thanks to Fredrik Sträng for providing archival footage.
