The Last First: Winter K2 premieres October 2

On October 2, Apple TV will debut The Last First: Winter K2, a revealing documentary that “tells a complex, harrowing and moving story” of extreme mountain climbing, and currently holds a rare 100% Rotten Tomatoes score.

Apple TV first announced it had acquired the global rights to The Last First: Winter K2 earlier this year, mentioning that it was a Sundance Film Festival selection documentary.

Then, a few weeks ago, the platform set October 2 for its debut date, and today, it published the trailer for the documentary, which you can find below.

Here’s what Apple TV says subscribers can expect from The Last First: Winter K2:

In “The Last First: Winter K2,” Amir Bar-Lev tells a complex, harrowing and moving story that takes an unflinching look at the industry of extreme mountain climbing and its changing culture. Focusing on a 2021 expedition, this documentary follows Icelander John Snorri Sigurjónsson and the Pakistani father-son team of Ali and Sajid Sadpara, a party of mountaineers who set out to be the first to summit K2 in the winter, when the mountain’s conditions are the cruelest. The men soon find themselves sharing the treacherous ascent with influencer climbers and their film crews, commercial expedition clients, and a Nepalese team no longer content to help Westerners achieve mountaineering glory. “The Last First: Winter K2” takes us to the icy heights and unpredictable weather of K2 and reveals a surprising and layered story — one of strategy and determination, class and caste, money and power — all under life-and-death circumstances.
