In February Richards -- a Boulder-based climber -- and climbing partners Simone Moro and Dennis Urubko braved temperatures as low as -51 degrees during their successful ascent of the 26,362' Himalayan peak Gasherbrum II, and Fogel's film about the misadventure has touched a nerve, winning the grand prize at the Banff Mountain Film Festival and Best Action Film at the 2011 Adventure Film Festival in Boulder.
