Everst, falls to her death in a freak accident, just 1500 feet from the summit. With originall music composed by Alan Hovhaness, the film captures the exhilaration and the dangers of living life on the edge. EVEREST NORTH WALL is an engrossing stroy that embraces the human spirit. EMMY AWARD WINNING DOCUMENTARY Running Time: 57 minutes "NORTH WALL captures climb's triumph, tragedy" Journal-American "...more than just another climbing film.

I only really purchased this because I'd grown up in Yakima, Wa. when Dave Mahre was operating White Pass ski resort and his sons were winning medals in the olympics.
I knew of the failed everest climb and was intrested.
If you enjoy this kind of thing, get this dvd. It's good quality and interesting to watch.
