Backyard Everest

This film follows Karoline Hanks as she takes on an extraordinary Everesting challenge on Chapman’s Peak in Cape Town. By running up and down the iconic route 14 times, equivalent to the height of Mount Everest, Karoline pushes her physical and mental limits in support of Project Noordhoeked, a local organization dedicated to keeping the beach, roads, and natural environment clean. More than a personal endurance feat, this challenge becomes a powerful act of community commitment, where every step contributes to protecting and giving back to the place she calls home.
