Summit Ridge Traverse

Master prompt
Helmet-cam inching along a knife-edge summit ridge, the camera tilting down both sides to thousand-foot drops of blue ice and cloud, crampons crunching with each deliberate step, an ice axe swinging into view for balance. Wind howls, spindrift streaming horizontally across the frame, prayer flags snapping violently on a cairn ahead. The climber pauses, the camera panning slowly across a 360-degree panorama of endless Himalayan peaks piercing a sea of clouds, then pushes on toward the summit cornice, each breath audible in the thin air. Breathtaking exposure, quiet triumph The climber clips into a fixed rope at the steepest step, gloved hands fumbling with the carabiner in the biting cold, then mantles onto a snow mushroom with a grunt of effort. — POV mountaineering, natural alpine light, wind-buffeted realism, 30fps, awe-inspiring.
