Vikram Jeet Singh Parmar’s ‘Pinnacle’ follows regular people attempting to scale high Himalayan peaks

‘Pinnacle’, a short documentary by Vikram Jeet Singh Parmar, tells the story of a few climbers attempting two 6,000-metre peaks in the Himalayas. The story revolves around motivation, resilience, and overcoming fears

“Nothing is written in stone,” says Uttarakhand born Vikram Jeet Singh Parmar. Six years ago, at 24, he had just a 5% chance of not becoming paraplegic, after a road accident left him with a hangman’s fracture, a break in a vertebra close to the neck. Doctors weren’t hopeful of the young man getting back on his feet. In a new 10-minute documentary titled Pinnacle, Vikram chronicles the stories of six people on their maiden climb, as he talks of his own journey from hospital bed to standing on a mountain top.
