David Breashears, the first American to scale Everest twice, was a veteran of nine previous Himalayan filmmaking expeditions. He led an international team organized by MacGillivray Freeman Films to carry a 48-pound IMAX camera to the summit of Everest and film footage in this spectacular format. The book provides a portrait of life and death at high altitude and includes a first-person account of the 1996 Everest disaster that claimed eight lives. It chronicles the rescue efforts and the team's triumphs and struggles as they faced the mountain's overwhelming power.
