Monsters and Critics
Its considered use of ice and snow-covered vistas against the expanse of blue sky offers great beauty while capturing something of what pulls the adventurous to try to reach the world's second highest peak.

Rating: 3.5/5.0 --
While the education is considerable, the fact that the footage has been lingering for five years is a fairly good indicator of the urgency of the final product.

The Dissolve
For some, this documentary could be the best way to experience just how difficult and rewarding mountaineering can be.

Film Journal International
The documentary's biggest highlight is its climbing footage, much of it shot by Mr. Ohlson; the film gets in close, with snow on the lens, and captures the sound of piercing winds at high altitude.

Product Description:
Dave Ohlson's mountain climbing documentary K2: SIREN OF THE HIMALAYAS follows the attempts of two world-class explorers to scale the second-highest peak in the world. The efforts of Jake Meyer and Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner are intercut with archival footage and photographs from an attempt to climb the same slope in 1909 by a pair of Italians. This approach shows how this physically grueling task has changed over one-hundred years, and how in some ways it stays the same.
