Summary: Another Nat'l Geographic Winner
Comment: Excellent narrative on the World's Highest Mountain. Filmed expertly and true to the history of the mountain. I highly recommend this DVD if you really want to see Everest without climbing to the Lhotse Face. This a great family adventure that you can enjoy and be unashamed to include, in the viewing, your children or grandchildren.

Summary: Must see for Everest students
Comment: Ever since watching the Discovery channel series on Everest I have been hooked on the mountain. This movie has helped me continue to get my "adrenelene fix" just by watching it. Not only is the historical footage and info incredible, but the actual footage near the top helped me realize just how much "exposure" the climbers have on the final ridge with sheer drop offs on both sides. If you have any interest in Everest or mountain climbing, this dvd is a great one to own.

Summary: National Geographic - Everest
Comment: This documentary has great vintage footage of past climbs, and the new footage taken during the current climb is shot with an appropriate sense of awe and terror. The individuals climbing are very real and success is far from being assured. The dangers and magnitude of the adventure is well told.
