 Everest: Mountain Without Mercy written by Broughton Coburn, introduction by Tim CahillIt took two years to perfect the specially modified IMAX camera and the team of photographers, filmmakers, scientists, and climbers who would work together to get it to the summit of Mount Everest. It took two months to acclimate to the thin air and prepare for the final assault on the Death Zone. It took barely two terrifying days for the mountain to claim eight lives and turn the Everest Film Expedition team into courageous lifesavers and eyewitnesses to tragedy. Featuring spectacular IMAX imagery, Everest: Mountain Without Mercy is a stunning portrait of the most majestic mountain on earth and a riveting account of the men and women who dare to challenge it. "Everest describes the making of what must surely be one of the most challenging films ever attempted. But it also tells a story of suffering, loss, and courage. When lives hung in the balance, David Breashears and Ed Viesturs put the camera down and performed heroically." --Jon Krakauer Hardcover 256 pages - 9 3/8" x 12 1/4" - (10/97)
