me too, i was 6 years old but i already knew the exact eight of the five tallest 8ks. The documentary was amazing, it's...something special.I still dream of climbing everest, but i'm too poor to afford it and it's too dangerous.
Tenzing and Hillary great achievement..great mans ..how to climb very dangerous ice mountain. No one support ..no root map..its big salute and big achievement.in our humanity
I have never understood why Men & Women risk everything to try and conquer the unconquerable. When I see their recounting of the adventure, I understand a little better. I will live out my life, knowing that I never will risk it all to do what few can do or go where few will go. But I am grateful to those who explore the Universe above or the depths of the Sea below or the worlds tallest peaks. They capture our imagination & remind us why those Explorers of old, set out on stormy seas to see what lies beyond the horizon.
+Normen Radvany thanks so much, i'm obsessing over high altitude mountaineering lately after watching the new movie "Everest" and I can't get enough documentaries and movies. So fascinating.
+Jordan White No Problem! This is my favorite moment and two more from this movie. When Brent Bishop is changing "backpack" with a sherpa boy and an American climber save a Hungarian life. I did search to find his name. ( Mike Morris ) To me this is the best Everest documentary. But sorry the new Everest movie is bad movie according me. I liked the old Into the Thin Air. Or my favorite book is Dr on Everest by Dr Kenneth Kamler or watch his speech on youtube. I don't like what happening on Everest right now. That is not nice mountain climbing anymore. You should watch the Meru film. That is the best climber movie right now and that movie show what should mean the clean nice mountain climbing. And of corse the legend Reinhold Messner's books. And one more big book and documentary is the Touching the Void. I hope I helped to find great things about these amazing people.
Hi there. Did you get to finally see the answer to your question? Someone also asked, and the answer is "Everest: 50 Years on the Mountain" by National Geographic. There's a little more of an explanation with the title included, but basically that's it in a nut shell.
