Beschreibung:
In May 1996 three expeditions attempted to climb Mount Everest on the Southeast Ridge route. Each group contained world-class climbers and relative novices, some of whom had paid tens of thousands of pounds for the climb. As they neared the summit, twenty-three men and women, including expedition leaders Scott Fischer and Rob Hall, were caught in a ferocious blizzard. Disorientated, out of oxygen and depleted of supplies, they struggled to find their way to safety.
