Not the first time watching an Everest climbing drama; except that this film exposed the climbing members' personalities. The documentary was also an insight into the business side of climbing Everest. Folks were not ashamed to quote the price of being an amateur member of Mr. Bryce's team, and although it is common knowledge, such a price informs the epic financial as well as outdoor, adventure. Setting advanced ropes (surprising) by the heroic Sherpas enabled the members to get to the top of the mountain sans expert climbing skills. I wonder what the fee is for pulling a cow to the top.
The most annoying member was the self-centered neanderthal from Los Angeles. He disrupted the entire team by putting others in danger with stubborn self-interest. Allowing this ugly American to join the team

- regardless of the ultimate result - in year two really discredited the integrity of Russell Brice. This ego laden member (Yes YOU, Tim) would have been more comfortable in his feral element if he had remained on the mountain to organize the graveyard.
