Reticent Wall
dir. Stipe Božić
HR, 1999., 31’
Slovenian Tomaž Humar needed fifteen days of extreme climbing to independently overcome the 1100-metre-tall, vertical granite cliff El Capitan in the Yosemite Valley in California, using the Reticent Wall route, one of the most difficult and dangerous technical routes in the world. His successes in the Himalayas rank him among the most successful alpinists in the world. The scenes of the ascent and the descriptions of the difficulties are fascinating!
Taklamakan
dir. Stipe Božić
HR, 2010., 36’
Whoever goes in will not come out. That’s what the locals say about one of the most inhospitable areas of the world, the Taklamakan Desert. Here the sand dunes reach up to 300 metres tall, the wind swirls the sand and constantly changes the face of the most impassable Asian desert bordered by large mountain ranges. We follow a fascinating adventure – Božić skiing on the slopes of the sand dunes and the ascent to the 7,546-metre-high Muztagh Ata peak.
