The Swiss Christian Binggeli and the Austrian Andreas Gredler have the same dream: they want to climb Everest. While Binggeli is planning two months for the climb, Andreas Gredler wants to make it to the summit in just three weeks - thanks to pre-acclimatization at home in a high-altitude tent. _____________________________________________ ????

But shortly before the summit he failed because he became ill. Now the 53-year-old wants to try again. And again he is in danger of failing shortly before the summit because his Sherpa becomes ill. The Swiss man cannot lug all the equipment and enough oxygen bottles up alone. For Austrian doctor Andreas Gredler from Kitzbühel, the prospects are better. The 61-year-old has pre-acclimatized himself in a high-altitude tent at home and expects it to take just three weeks to reach the highest mountain in the world. Traveling with an Austrian expedition company, he is making his way towards the summit as quickly as possible in good weather. _____________________________________________ ▪ A film by Matthias Rusch ▪ Camera: Matthias Rusch ▪ Drone: Matthias Lüscher ▪ Editing: Hedi Bäbler ▪ Music: Martin Villiger ▪ Production: Andrea Hinder ▪ Editor: Frank Senn ▪ Director: Nathalie Rufer _____________________________________________ This is «DOK»: Our in-depth documentaries on topics from society, nature, politics, sport and business.
