Would we need goggles, to prevent our eyeballs from freezing? When sixteen-year-old Lou Dawson asks that question, he knows the mountaineering life he'd dreamt of as a child was now real -- maybe too real.
Amidst the towering peaks, Lou discovers an enduring love for alpine sports: scaling cliffs, topping summits, skiing powder snow. However, as the avalanches fall and lifestyle choices veer, his pursuit of adrenaline becomes a poignant struggle for meaning in a culture where nothing succeeds like excess.
Join Lou as he navigates a precarious path toward fulfillment, showcasing his transformation from a reckless, thrill-seeking youth to a devoted father and husband, determined to build a stable foundation for his family.
