WYO, the band fronted by Andrew Sorge, is featured in LHOTSE, The North Face documentary chronicling Hilaree Nelson and Jim Morrison’s historic first ski descent of Lhotse—the world’s fourth-highest mountain at 27,940 feet. Their track “Running Wild” appears in the film.
Released in 2018, the film follows Nelson and Morrison as they attempt what many considered impossible: skiing off the summit of an 8,000-meter peak. The descent through the Lhotse Couloir featured slopes up to 60 degrees with a pinch point barely wider than their skis.
Nelson, the second-ever captain of The North Face’s Global Athlete Team, had previously become the first woman to climb both Everest and Lhotse within 24 hours. She passed away in 2022 on Manaslu.
