Jason Schlarb and Meredith Edwards travel to Yunnan, China with the master plan to run a 55K trail race and establish the Fastest Known Time on 17,703' Haba "Snow" Mountain. A dramatic ultra-marathon racing culture is only rivaled by life on the frontier where the pair experience a few nights on a rural farm before ascending a Himalayan scale peak. Adventure runs high and success is allusive to the end.
