Es soll eine Traum-Expedition werden. Doch die Bergsteiger, Mario Bornschein und Mike Fuchs, verlieren auf ihrer Tour zu den Berggipfeln ihre Kameradinnen.

Der Fotograf Mike Fuchs ist fasziniert von Bergen und deren Besteigung. 2014 wagt er sich mit seiner Tourpartnerin Sylvia Montag an die Winterbesteigung des Denalis – mit 6190 Metern Höhe der höchste Berg Nordamerikas. Die beiden verlieren sich aus den Augen und für Mike beginnt auf dem Berg in eisiger Kälte die Ungewissheit über Sylvias Verschwinden bis er sich ihren Tod eingestehen muss. In dieser Folge erzählt uns Mike von seinen extremen Grenzerfahrungen, worin der Reiz dieser Leidenschaft liegt und wie es ist mit dem Verlust seiner Tourpartnerin und der Frage nach der Schuld umzugehen.

Mike Fuchs ist Fotograf und er liebt die Facettenbreite seines Berufes. Einerseits fotografiert er Vorstände oder auch internationale Fashionbrands und gleichzeitig die extreme Natur in der Arktis und Hochgebirgen dieser Welt - fast immer bei Minusgraden. Als Extremsportler blickt er inzwischen auf zahlreiche Expeditionen zurück. Einige seiner Extrem-Reisen wurden im ARD und auch SWR ausgestrahlt. Was ihn an solchen Abenteuern reizt, was ihn dabei besonders herausfordert, was er aber auch lernen und erleben musste, darüber sprechen Mike und Kristin in dieser Gedankendealer-Folge.
