Thanks for remenber to us what is the true spirit of mountaineering. People in pursuing of adventure, freedom and joy. Tied by friendship and dreams. And all loving the rock. Boots with nails, cotton ropes, pitons, and of course shirt and tie. This was the paraphernalia this men took to the Everest...and made history.
Yes, I knew many of the actors who were friends and local guides. Such a great series, pity it's not been digitised and there's not been anything near as good sjnce or even a modern update using modern tech, hi res cameras and drones!
Used to have these films on VHS. Beautiful. Thanks for posting.
As much as I was impressed with them getting up there, I kept thinking, " they've got to get back down, as well." What a wonderful film.

Outstanding! I have this on the VHS cassette, so glad you posted this to TH-cam so I can share it. I've been telling people about this for years.
Thanks for the upload. Great to watch.
Where's the list of awards that this film has won?
When I do the Cioch I won't bother with the period costume!
