POINT OF NO RETURN charts the story of Jonny Copp and Micah Dash's attempt to make a first ascent of China's Mt Edgar via the east side during warm weather that makes the route prone to avalanches. "It's scary," Jonny tells cameraman Wade Johnson. "I've been on a lot of expeditions with Jonny," says Micah, "and that's the first time I've ever heard him refer to something as 'scary.'" They were right to be unnerved. The film highlights the dilemma of every climbing expedition - when to push-on and when to abandon an ascent - and the simple fact that in an unpredictable and hostile environment no matter how many precautions you take and wise decisions you make things can still go wrong.
