Accidental Climber

Accidental Climber tells the story of Jim Geiger, a retired forest-ranger and amateur mountaineer from Sacramento, who at 68 years old attempts to become the oldest American and first great-grandfather to summit Mt. Everest. We follow Jim as he embarks on a journey to transform from a weekend hiker to attempting one of the most extreme and physically demanding feats known to man. Driven by a desire to prove that age is just a number, Jim pushes his body and mind to the limits in the quest to summit the world's tallest mountain. (Napa Valley Film Festival)
