2.0 out of 5 stars
no surprises here,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mt Everest: The Fatal Climb [VHS] (VHS Tape)
If you were hoping for the visual rehash of THE CLIMB or INTO THIN AIR keep looking. This video's another poorly shot saga of a middled aged dude with summit fever and the guide who lost his toes deciding between nobility and a life wracked with guilt. There's not much to engage the viewer on a personal, emotional level in spite of the dramatic circumstances. But if watching a talking head shot of a moody guy in a tent is your idea of good video....

Sensational and tragic - an epic story - excellent.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mt Everest: The Fatal Climb [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The Fatal Climb takes you as high as you can go on Everest - the summit! The story is inspiring and tragic all at the same time, with live footage from the very spot (just above the 2nd Step on the North Ridge) where disaster strikes. It is a story of one man's obsession with reaching Everest's summit (at all costs) and another man's battle with feelings of incredible guilt. I thoroughly recommend this video to anyone who has ever wanted to see what it's really like at extreme altitude and how dangerous it really is. This video will make you laugh and cry - it's incredible!

Profound Documentary of Human Endurance,
By Steve Sarkoezy (Sydney. Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mt Everest: The Fatal Climb [VHS] (VHS Tape)
An excellent documentary of one man's obsession to climb Everest which ultimately cost him his life. The struggle, the endurance, the pain and then the thrill of getting to the summit was incredible. Mark Whetu recalls the events extremely well, but for me the ultimate point of the film is when upon reflection of the loss of his friend he says `It's not that life is too short it's that your dead a long time.'
