Morgan Shields x Patagonia Films: The Peak of Evil
Papsura or the Peak of Evil was a 20 year dream line project first descended by Hilaree Nelson and Jim Morrison in 2017. In the seven years since noone has returned to the mountain. Following her passing in a ski accident on Manaslu in 2022, Nick Russell and Jerry Mark two close friends aim to make a first snowboard descent of the line in tribute to her memory. Shot on location in Himachel Pradesh India, Nepal, Lake Tahoe CA, Chamonix FR, Denali AK.
