    Solid documentary

    I've been fascinated by Mount Everest for quite some time, and have watched a fair amount of documentaries. This was one of the better ones, and covered some unique issues. This is one of the rare instances where I wish it had been longer.

    If you have money you make it

    I am a huge fun of mountain climbing and I knew most of the greatest one in this sport.

    What bothers me inside this documentary (good for him) is the money can buy everything.

    I have a friend who climbed 14 8000m peaks. He failed two times in the Everest.

    I think this sport is spoils with rich people's money.

    Again good for him and All the rich boy like him.
