Mount Everest

National Geographic - Everest 50 Years on the Mountain
$19.98
A stunning documentary that puts you through so many emotions. Disbelief, wonder, admiration.....just to name a few. You start out thinking these people are crazy, risk takers who deliberately put themselves in a life or death situation. You think that you would never do something as crazy as this and wonder why they do. But then you end with an understanding that it is a passion; a triumph of spirit. No different than the astronauts who risk as much going into space. Do you give up because there are bodies on this mountain? Did we stop space exploration because of the shuttle casualities? No; they push onward because that's what explorers do. If we all could have this much courage in our lives, think of all that we could accomplish. I am in awe of the explorers.

Very pleased with this product and would order from this seller again.

Left for Dead: My Journey Home from Everest

I was a little disappoined in this book. If you have read "Into Thin Air", you know how riveting it was, and it gave lots of details of the tragedy on Everett. Beck Weathers, in his autobiography, does not provide much more detail about what happened to him and how he survived. Worth reading, but i was looking for more.
