Field notes
The page gives the climb concrete dimensions—79 kilometres over seven days, ending at Uhuru Peak—and describes Horvath climbing without prosthetics. It also separates what the filmmakers say is known about the 2014 incident from what remains unresolved: the site says the records are gone and a person who might have answered questions has died. The page includes a directors’ statement and links to five review excerpts.
