Everest: Beyond the Limit (2006)
Interesting Content, Format More Painful Than Frostbite
Mount Everest is the ultimate of climbs. Program follows people's quest to conquer it. You will learn the steps climbers go through in acclimation and become familiar with the base camps and stages in the climb. Successes, Perils, and disappointments are highlighted. Cameras chronicle the events as they unfold. The program suffers from repetitiveness, overdramatics, and horrible graphical effects, and focusing on the worst climbers. Without stating the same things 20 times the program could be watched in half the time. The drama they created was The Bachelor worthy. They were really proud of their computerized recreation of a climbers internal hardware as we are shown this stupid clip no fewer than 25 times. I longed for snow blindness every time they showed the clip. After watching the idiots with very few prerequisites you realize why so many people die here. The reporter who was on the second season especially had no business there. Pretty much anyone with a wallet can attempt the climb. I recommend just watching the first season as 2nd season focuses far to much on the dramatics of 1 person.
