Detailed Product Description
New England IME ascent. Led by Rick Wilcox, this 1991 expedition made a successful ascent via the South Col. An honest look at what Himalayan expedition climbing is like today. On May 15, 1991 four men from the New England Everest Expedition successfully reached the summit of the world's highest peak, becoming the first New Englanders to do so. Back in the early '90's it was no simple feat to climb Everest. At the time barely 300 had reached the summit. Now, nearly two decades later, well over 3,000 have reached the summit. Produced and edited using expedition leader Rick Wilcox's video footage, the documentary tells the story of this historic ascent. An epic storm at the South Col at 26,000 feet, their tent pitched near the body of a deceased climber, this is Everest in all its infamy. This video was featured on PBS' Nova science program after the tragic 1996 season that climbed the lives of so many. That season was made famous by Jon Krakauer in his book INTO THIN AIR. Perhaps this video was inspiration for the name of his book! 48 minutes. NTSC VIDEO NOT A DVD. This documentary was written and produced by climber and filmmaker Thom Pollard, who went on to film the discovery of George Mallory's body on Everest in 1999.
