Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Man who Skied down Everest
Wonderful reportage that I had seen many years ago. I am very happy to have found it on Amazon.com after looking for it for so long!

Thank you!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Physical & Spiritual Journey
The first time I saw this was on The Discovery Channel, 1987. I was an engineering student at the time and I only caught the very last part, where he skies down the mountatin. I told my friends about it, but no one believed me. A few weeks later, it was on again. This time I taped/recorded it (old school VHS), I had proof! This is a great documentary, not only of one man's physical journey but also the spiritual journey of all who attempt this quest.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An incredible, scenic, courages adventure through a part of the world and culture that has already gone. Beautiful.
It is a fantastic work. The sherpas, the small towns they pass through, the culture that was alive back in the 1960s still, all that is beautifully filmed. All that is gone, changed forever now. The mountain, the challange, the courage, all can be felt in this film. I highly recommend it to everyone, but most especially to those who can remember supreme adventuring before goretex, gps /cell phones and high tech equipment. It's a remarkable film on many levels.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - The Real Everest
This guy is nuts and the video is good. If you want to see what people really had to go thru to climb Everest without all the fluff added, see this video. Not to mention you get to see this guy attempt this insane feat.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Kamikaze on Everest
Excellent DVD.Maybe the best Everest video.Totaly different camera posision than other films.Probably the most viues of this Mountain.Great film. Strongly recomended for evryone who like Everest subject.
