That was still *don't* get it either.   See 6 other replies

Yea, after watching this documentary I still get it either. Everest is in some ways a very hard climb, but also in other ways an easy climb. It doesn't take a lot of technical climbing skill, just raw determination. Well I've never associated being blind with having a diminished sense of determination. If anything I would think that as a rule blind people have to develop a greater sense of determination just to make it through life. And it does seem that, in fact, Erik had an easier time making to the summit than some other members of his expedition. Having said that then it still strikes me a less of acomplishment for a blind person to summit then a sighted person because he can't see what's he's done and that is really the whole point of climbing to the top of a mountain.   See 6 other replies

We checked into the discrepancy between this video and the DVD version. The clarification from the film's producer: We only have the rights to the shorter version, which aired on television. The producer himself made the made the cuts and this, in fact, is the version that was nominated for two Emmy Awards. The longer version s still available for purchase through Serac films.   See 1 other reply
