This documentary follows Pete Athans as he attempts to become the first westerner to summit Everest for the 6th time. But his goal is not simply to shatter the world record, but also to record the exact hight with a GPS measuring device.
It’s an interesting documentary, looking at the enormous task of climbing mountain most of us will never see. And it’s a scary journey – at points the only way forward over crevices, is to walk long ladders that have been roped together to make a temporary bridge – freakishly scary stuff! Buffeted by strong winds, and short on breath due to the thinner oxygen at the high altitudes, it take a complicated journey to get to the top.

Yeah - It was pretty awesome to see the rich American adventurers struggling, whilst their Sherper (hope I spelt that right) guides found it easy going, even though they were carrying everything :-)
