Papsura: Peak of Evil | Patagonia Films
"Papsura: Peak of Evil | Patagonia Films" is a rock climbing video (35 minutes) published by Patagonia on January 22, 2025 with 1.1 million views. Available to watch free on CouchClimbs.
Deep in the Indian Himalaya stands Papsura, a 21,165-foot giant known as the Peak of Evil — a mountain so formidable its name alone signals the challenge ahead. Professional snowboarders Nick Russell and Jerry Mark set their sights on a massive, nearly perfect line splitting the face of this remote behemoth, a objective that demanded everything they had built across careers spent pushing limits in California's Sierra Nevada and beyond. This Patagonia film follows their journey from familiar terrain to one of the most isolated and unforgiving corners of the world's greatest mountain range. What makes Papsura: Peak of Evil essential viewing is the rare combination of raw ambition and hard-earned expertise on display. With legends like Jeremy Jones and the late Hilaree Nelson among those featured, the film carries the weight of a community that understands both the allure and the cost of going big in the mountains. Director Morgan Shields captures not just the scale of the objective but the quiet determination required to stand at the top of something that genuinely earns the word evil — and the courage it takes to drop in anyway.
