Jim Geiger is the accidental climber with an impressively neat garage.
Vision Films will release Accidental Climber from filmmaker Steven Oritt (My Name is Sara, American Native), a captivating documentary charting the journey of climber Jim Geiger summiting Everest – a grueling endeavor, much less for a 68-year-old retired forest worker who comes face-to-face with the worst disaster in mountaineering history. The film will be released in the U.S. and Canada across all VOD/Digital and DVD platforms beginning this month with international dates to follow.
Accidental Climber chronicles the summiting of Mount Everest by Geiger, a great-grandfather and amateur mountaineer from Sacramento, California, who attempts to become the oldest American to summit the peak; what ensued was the worst disaster in mountaineering history leaving 16 climbers dead in a tragic avalanche and forever changing his life.
