‘Via Bearzi’ is the completion of a film envisioned by Michael Bearzi just before his untimely death in the Himalaya in 2002. Director, Michael Bearzi's aim was to portray the essence of two-man alpine climbing up a new route on Gyachung Kang, Himalayan Range, Tibet. Using Mike’s video and a lifetime of stunning mountain still-photography along with the accounts of his fellow climbing partners, friends Jeff Alzner and Brook Kirklin painstakingly compiled this portrait of a man on his life's journey. As an introduction, the film also documents two earlier alpine style climbs. Music by Tibetian performers produced by The Tara Cafe Project. This film reflects the motivations along with the humor and ethics of a climber who left his impression on everyone he touched.
