Editorial Review:

Description:
Experience Everest as it's never been before in this harrowing trek to touch the roof of the world. With unusually severe weather and heartbreaking circumstances, this expedition up the world's tallest peak becomes fraught with unexpected perils, leading to an emotional journey full of fear, hardship, exhaustion, disappointment and unforgettable triumphs. Boasting a crew of climbers each with something to prove, this expedition includes the first-ever double amputee to aim for the summit, an asthmatic climber ascending without bottled oxygen and a motorcyclist embracing life once again after a near-fatal traffic accident. Stunningly captured with high-definition cameras, each episode of this special DVD edition includes additional footage not seen in the original broadcast, plus behind-the-scenes moments you won't want to miss!

Featuring:

Summit Dreams: At Everest Base Camp, newly arrived climbers struggle to acclimate to the Himalayas' extreme altitude. A cameraman collapses with intense stomach pains and is rushed down the mountain.

The Gatekeeper: After they learn of a Sherpa's death from altitude sickness, expedition members struggle to prepare themselves for a climb that will be the ultimate test of their mental and physical capabilities.

To the Summit: The expedition is divided into two teams for the five-day summit assault. The expedition leader warns the group that he will withdraw the Sherpas if any of the climbers disobey his rules.

Into the Death Zone: The expedition is trapped in a high-altitude camp by unexpectedly high winds and is further delayed by a human traffic jam when slower climbers are encountered.

Mutiny on the Mountain: Climbers must deal with one of the coldest days ever remembered on the mountain and get caught in another group's descent lines.

The Final Cost: With the summit just 350 feet above them, struggling climbers, dangerously weak from serious frostbite and insufficient oxygen, are fiercely determined to reach Everest's pinnacle.

- Amazing Human Interest Mountaineering DVD
Everest: BTL is an amazing DVD that captures the drama of a diverse group of climbers and their attempt to summit Everest. While not technically exhaustive, the DVD is presented in more of a "reality show" format that draws you into the human struggle of the ascent. The DVD focuses on both the strengths and the weaknesses of the men who are attempting to summit the greatest mountain on Earth. That being said, ANY CLIMBER who has ever stepped foot on a mountain knows that many treks (ESPECIALLY EVERST) have been corrupted into purely commercial "events". However, to focus on that aspect and miss the larger picture is the sign of an unrealistic, mountaineering mind. We can't go back in time and change what these types of climbs have become. Accept it and move forward. Some can, some can't...just ... Read More

- Pure Fiction
Pure Fiction.....not accurate. If you knew the truth about Russ Brice and the Discovery Channel....it would make you sick. Some people will do ANYTHING for money.

I know...I was there. I was part of the 2006 Himex expedition and I am on the DVD.

What a great drama! The suspense, the scenery, the human interest and interaction, the detail....it's almost like being there. This is a great series. I can't wait for the second season to come out on DVD.

- Gripping human drama
This is by far the most interesting documentary on a climbing expedition attempting Everest. The photography is awesome and the human players seem to have been delivered from central casting. The movie takes the viewer from the initial base camp at 14,000 feet and slowly ascends the mountain as the climbers become acclimated to the elevation change. Some will summit successively, others will not. Therein lies the mystery and excitement for the viewer.

Some reviewers complain that the film spends too much time on the climbers as opposed to the mountain itself. For me, this focus is the best part of the experience. Mogens, the handsome Dane climber, is by far the most interesting participant. He is incredibly fit, a truly elite athlete who has difficulty only because he refuses to use supplemental ...
