- At 21,000 feet, Mount Meru isn’t as tall as Everest, but it’s a much harder climb. No one had ever summited it, but that didn’t stop three elite climbers from trying in 2011. Meru, directed by expedition climber Jimmy Chin and Chai Vasarhelyi, and featuring Jon Krakauer, is the stunning story of their struggle to beat the peak. Interview at AOL HQ in NYC for AOL BUILD.

Meru is possibly the best climbing film ever. After watching it about a dozen times I could watch it another dozen times.
me too
Jimmy and conrad were legends b4 climbing meru and now renan joins them after that climb. Being injured to barely ever going to walk again to climbing that massive mountain was surreal. Congrats Renan jimmy and conrad .
And especially in the time frame. Injury to recovery to climbing Meru in less than a year
The movie Everest was good....but Meru was brilliantly awesome and inspirational. Seen it twice....
I could listen to Krakauer for days.
Nick Johnson ...
I’ve been following him his whole career, and the older he’s gotten (& after ‘96 had most of its dust settled later in his life), his wisdom is really well reasoned. I’m with you on this.
I couldn’t make that claim about a 1995 or 1998 JK, but after seeing his Sundance pieces w Penn, he’s really grown into a helluva sage raconteur! ✌️
read krakauer's book into thin air - an even better writer!
This & “Dear Zachary” are my two favorite documentaries. I implored everyone I know to watch this.
Jimmy Chin is Boss!
I saw this documentary late one night because I couldn't find remote I didn't know how to work the TV manually & fell in love with the film. It really is a great film about true spirit.
lol
One of the greatest films of all time. Heart wrenching story.
That film Meru is awesome !!!!!....highly recommend it
oh really
Truly amazing movie. I loved it so much. Thank you with all my heart. I cried, I laughed, I learned so much, I was struck with awe. You are all amazing people, not only for climbing the mountain, but also for everything you did to bring this story to the world.
I don't know what is about this film MERU but I can't not watch it when it's on. It transcends climbing - really just a great film.
gorgeous, spellbinding, almost hard to watch as it is so scary & realistic...fear and beauty packed together....cannot imagine how hard of a climbing and filming project this was. Congratulations!
Great movie, great accomplishment and three great men. What stuck with me was just how different they all were from each other but as a team they were far more than than sum of their total. Respect and love for each other - and the mountain - are what pulls it all through. They found something inside themselves together which is a priceless thing in these days of bewildering phoniness.
Killer film, I've seen it 4 times and it never gets old.
Forget the Hollywood sound stage. Thank you for giving us a window into the real thing.
This interviewer doesn't do his guests justice. 3 amazing human beings
A beautiful film
If this were a movie, you wouldn’t believe the story. It’s pretty nuts.
Meru is a very impressing and heart warming film
just hearing Jon Krakauer say the word "Climbing" gives me chills
A heck of a film!
Kudos to all. Kudos to Andra Day. Great finale to a great stand-alone work. Two thumbs up.
The trailer they showed is very misleading relative to what Meru is really about. So, ignore the trailer. Watch Meru. It's not what you think. It's a whole lot more.
It's a trailer...it's not meant to tell the whole story
13:56 what Krakauer says there really hits the spot.
I'd go further and say that adrenaline junkies have no place in climbing; they make things more dangerous and are often the cause of death in fact.
You don't want people with a death wish with you doing things like these. You want people with a life wish.
What a trailer!
Really unbelievable peak climb
I am waiting for my local library to have the DVD, save on the bucks, I can wait for this great documentary
Tc Linn It’s on Amazon Prime if you have it
Bad ass professional.
Wow.
I traverse 20' waves in the Bering sea. Scary
Bad ass dude.
Why no one asked about going toilet little/big at that altitude. How long poops would fly down to the ground? 🤔
I'm joking here obviously, though still curious.
Anyhow, what these three Men did is surreal and unbelievable, thanks for showing that lifetime adventure to the world! 👏
Now, go see Free Solo...hands down the best climbing movie ever made.
Meru is better than Free Solo.
@@markbergemann1894 yep
Free solo freaks me out too much
Free Solo was a more impressive feat, but Meru is much more enjoyable movie imo.
What Alex does and what these guys do are completely different thing.
Not comparable
lmao! when back on ground, throwing everything onto ground was funny!
EITS music in the trailer, nice.
Lol the girl asks a question about climbing to the guy who didnt climb the mountain lool
hey whatssap people
Am I the only one who thought that it must have been kinda weird for Krakauer to talk about the movie Everest since he's literally a character in that movie? It's gotta be real weird to see the trailer for movie that is about a chapter of your own life, and then have to go: ...Actually, doesn't seem likea great movie.
Watch this and tell us more bullcrap about the essence of climbing. ua-cam.com/video/H8dfc84EF5k/v-deo.html
It was a nice video, but as a climber I like "Valley uprising" much more.
This interview must be really old because Mugs Stump is dead.
Rick Ruffin do you know how to find the date it was posted on UA-cam? Open the details box.
Jon talks about him in the past tense. Nobody ever talks about Mugs being alive in this interview.
What the hell is a mou-ain?
Chance1957 so you’re 61 years old and you’re making fun of how someone talks. You really don’t have anything better to do with your life?
Knuffelbeer Actually i wanted to make fun of the pretentious Hollywood prick interviewing these 3 real and genuine guests, but I chose to keep it simple and make fun of his ridiculous pronunciation of mountain. By the way that wouldn’t happen to be mr. knuffelbeer sitting on the right in this video trying to figure out what is the most pretentious way to pronounce mountain, Would it? He kinda talks like a big ole knuffelbeer.
Renan, one of the bad ass mofos in this film, pronounces mountain the exact same way. Who cares! What I can't get over, is the interviewers ridiculous attempt at hiding his hardly receding hairline on the left side of his head. What a goober! 😁
Clown
@@knuffelbeer193 what are you gonna cry or something?
My god these guys climb this mountain just so they can hear themselves talk about the dangers. It has nothing to do with the experience. It's about the Mount Everest ego.
They didn't consider releasing a film until after the climb, when they realized they had enough footage.
My gosh you got it all wrong. Your life must feel pathetic living in your mums basement and still working at burger king.
Michael Kensington When was the last time one of the Rambo Rangers Death Zone hikers talked about how much fun it was to climb to the top of Everest. Look at the thousands upon thousands of people who make this journey without incident.
@@stevereed8786 They didnt even climb mt evetest. Did you even watch this? Listen to Jon's explanation why this film was made. It had nothing to do with self aggrandizing, the film was an after thought.
@Steve Reed - You're obviously not a climber and missed the point entirely. Yes, some people who "climb" Everest have that attitude but Krakauer gave a good explanation about what climbing and mountaineering is to those who *really* do it for themselves and not for their resume like others may have.
I've heard Krakauer is a liar.
If you believe Boukreev, which I don't. Guy should have been guiding WITH oxygen. He did many brave things but made a crucial mistake.
@@jeffjacobson59 well, krakauer is not a liar, heck no, a very honest man. He was right to say that Boukreev should have been on oxygen; Boukreev was guiding a group.
However, every single one of Boukreev's clients got down the mountain alive. So it wouldn't have made much of a difference. I mean, Rob Hall was climbing with oxygen, but still died, as did some clients of his.
It's just Everest became a traffic jam and if a blizzard comes in, that's really damn dangerous.
Yawn. Some people hiked up a mountain and one guy brought his pregnant wife who had nothing do with it. Boring.
holden caulfied you're a complete moron.
pregnant wife who is also the director and the producer, you fuckin plum
hello troll.
I get it, the catcher in the rye's job is to catch the children if, in their abandon, they come close to falling off the brink.
holden caufield hiked? really? hiked? man have you ever done a 5.9/5.10 climb to know how difficult it is? This is about a million times harder than hiking or climbing..... Hiked.. fml how can some people be so stupid god..
