In May 1996 a fast-moving killer storm trapped three climbing teams high on the slopes of Mount Everest. The exhausted climbers were soon lost in a fierce blizzard and far from the safety of High Camp at 26 000 feet. Renowned climber and filmmaker David Breashears, who aided the rescue efforts back then, returns to Everest to tell the full story of what happened on that legendary climb.
