| I enjoyed this show very much. The DVD is excellent and the suspense of the show is unbelievable mostly because it is REAL. It is very informative and it pulls no punches. You don't have to know anything about mountain climbing (me included) to find this to be an unbelievably interesting, entertaining, thrilling and compelling show. |
| Amazing Human Interest Mountaineering DVD | 2008-10-18 | 5 / 5 |

| 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 like climbing the mountain. It needs to be said however, that each and every man and woman who place their feet on Everest have already proved everything they need to prove. As far as the dead climber (Sharp) controversy, it should be noted that there was nothing these men could do that would have saved that poor soul that wouldn't have also cost their own lives. Not worth it. Each person knows the score when attempting Everest. This is nothing compared to the tragedy of the 1996 expedition. I would suggest that those who are overly concerned about this aspect of the 2006 expedition have never faced true tragedy in their lives or been in unique, "team-centered" experiences (such as combat) where the survival of the group is paramount. While in safe, secure, civilized society we would all do everything in our power to save a human life, combat and an "assault" on Everest are different scenarios where (unfortunately) different rules apply. Overall, outstanding presentation. The avid climber will find enough here to keep them interested and have them trying on their boots and dusting off their gear in the off-season. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! |

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.
