Everest – Beyond The Limit

The popular Discovery Channel series follows the exploits of 12 amateur climbers in their attempt to climb the World s highest peak. The film was shot during the second deadliest climbing season on Mt Everest and in an unprecedented move cameras were strapped to the Sherpa s helmets to record nearly every step or misstep. The resulting footage provided viewers with a real sense of what it takes to conquer the world s most formidable peak. Production Facts: A 17-person production team used state-of-the art technology to capture the saga. During the filming, two of the crew members reached the summit and two others entered the ‘Death Zone’. Every member of the crew lost a substantial amount of weight. The record loss was soundman Jake Drake-Brockman, who lost 18% of his body weight.
