Guess I must have last seen this on the 50th anniversary. Love the fact that John Hunt is wearing a tie when he first meets the sherpas. So very very British, maybe why it didn't win the Oscar for best documentary, which went predictably to Disney that year.

agreed that not only climbing, but getting it on footage is a very amazing achievement. I've read Into Thin Air and these sort of real life adventure stories really fascinate me. The audio does crap out from time to time, but this movie/documentary is really worth checking out.

Sorry to be so petty, but "successful" was misspelled... :)

Words fail me...what a beautiful, amazing film and accomplishment. I had tears in my eyes when Hillary and Norgay returned from their succesful summiting of Everest and were hugged by those below.

I am so grateful that this endeavor was filmed and is, hopefully, preserved for posterity.
