I was told that my plan was impossible. So I decided to name it Project Possible.” Nims explained in the documentary. Leadership isn't always about what you want.

An inspirational study in leadership and a powerful testament to the human spirit at its very best.' - Mail on Sunday K2 Base Camp, deep in the Pakistani Karakoram, was a mosh pit of humanity when Nims and his guys set up their camp in late December 2020. Not only were three sprawling teams there but two of them had even signed up commercial clients for what would surely be a nasty and perilous undertaking. Non-climbers sometimes struggle to comprehend the nuances of what makes certain routes difficult. But they do understand a story. And that’s what Nims gave them. It’s neither alpinism nor speed climbing but something altogether new.

By 2:30 a.m. on the night of January 15, they were at Camp Three ready to launch. Mingma Tenzi took the lead with Imagine Nepal’s Dawa Tenjin belaying him as he fixed pitch after pitch of rope above Camp Four. Nims and Mingma David stayed just behind the leaders, passing them rope as they needed it. Mingma Tenzi was a force, pounding snow stakes, wrenching ice screws, fastening length after length. They were 10 of the strongest mountaineers in history, all pulling toward their own goal, with no clients to slow them down.
