MERU PEAK

About Meru Peak

The Shark’s Fin, a near-vertical granite wall, had repelled climbers for decades until it was finally conquered in 2011 by American climbers Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin, and Renan Ozturk after multiple attempts. Their ascent was documented in the award-winning 2015 film Meru, showcasing the extreme physical and mental endurance required to summit the peak.

Meru Peak's challenging terrain, unpredictable weather, and sheer rock faces make it a coveted yet formidable goal for elite mountaineers. Unlike Everest, which is often climbed with guided support, Meru demands advanced technical skills in ice, rock, and mixed climbing. The mountain continues to inspire adventurers worldwide, representing the spirit of exploration and the pursuit of seemingly impossible feats in alpinism.
