4.0 out of 5 stars Great historic video, poor technical quality, terrible music, January 24, 2009

By	Dan Anderson (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Another reviewer claims "the background music greatly adds to the entire production". Ha ha--the background music is terrible and melodramatic. It distracts from the video.

The video quality is terrible and all the sound is after-the-fact voice-over or sound effects (sometimes to a silly degree--there's avalanches every few seconds for long periods of time).

Despite this, for hard-core Everest buffs like myself, I highly recommend getting this video. It's interesting looking at the gear of the day and witnessing a historic event through contemporary video.

5.0 out of 5 stars Conquest of Everest, July 17, 2008

By	Raymond Turmelle (Barrington, N.H.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Highly recommended and an asset to any collection. Being able to accomplish this most arduous climb with the sparse equipment that was in use those days is remarkable. Reproduction of past films and photos are excellent. Often overlooked, the background music greatly adds to the entire production.
