Viewing Notes

Somewhat difficult watch knowing the outcome. Was interested to see the film having not watched any of the Everest films based on this story. Thought it would be a good one to see on the big screen. It is with some incredible cinematography.

Also gives a great sense of foreboding seeing those mountains and the storms around them. Still cannot completely understand why people do these things but truly a great lesson in nature being something often insurmountable.

Good ensemble cast but deeply tragic.
