 Everest. 50 years on the mountain ( aleil )
Excellent ,but will not play on (International) DVD player although the player is set to receive all regions. I had to watch it on the PC.

Another Nat'l Geographic Winner
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.

Must see for Everest students
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.
