First off, let me say that if you’re looking for a series that covers an Everest expedition with careful attention to detail, this is the series for you. Over the course of six episodes, we acquire to know the individual climbers fair well. We learn their motivations, their fears, their hopes and the risks they are taking by climbing this mountain. We peruse them suffer from exhaustion, oxygen deprivation, frostbite and other serious ailments. By the slay of the series, you’ve reach to care about these climbers and you feel you have a vested interest in the success of their summit bids.
What’s even more remarkable is the exceptional job done by the photojournalists who shot the climb — some of whom were sherpas. Using special cameras attached to their headgear (humorously nicknamed “sherpacams” by the production team), the climbers were able to continuously shoot their uncertain stir from the Death Zone to the summit. As someone who has seen a lot of documentaries of Everest, this is some of the most breathtaking footage ever shot of that mountain.

From the production angle, this documentary gets top marks. Kudos to the Discovery Channel for placing this in our hands.
So why is one star deducted?
It should be renowned that this documentary was shot during the 2006 climbing season — one of the deadliest seasons on portray, rivaled only by the 1996 climbing season recounted in John Krakauer’s book “Into Thin Air”.
If memory serves, 11 people died in 2006. One of them is David Bewitching, a solo climber who collapsed in the Death Zone. Members of the Discovery Channel’s expedition encountered the dying Enchanting while making their arrangement down from their summit attempts (there is actually some issue as to whether they also encountered him on the plot up) .
To their credit, some of the climbers (like Lebanese climber Max Chaya) attempted to befriend Spellbinding. But ultimately Russell Brice — the expedition’s guide who stayed below at Advanced Bad Camp — ordered them to leave Enthralling to his death. All of this is covered in detail in the final episode, as it happens — even to the extent of including Chaya’s weeping transmissions as he has to leave the climber to die.
Brice’s logic is simple: he doesn’t want to risk the lives of his bear clients (who are already frostbitten and on the verge of exhaustion) to assign the (at the time) unknown climber.
In retrospect, he was probably honest.
All the same, when it’s all said and done, I can’t settle if I like Brice or not. That incident causes you to recognize the race to Everest in mighty different light. Is it really worth it? It would be one thing if you were climbing for the purposes of exploration and discovery…if the plod had never been done before and you were hoping to learn something modern. (Like the first lunar landing or a manned mission to Mars.) But why are these guys going? To waft a flag and rep their characterize taken? Bravado? Vanity?
Leaving Absorbing was a tough suitable decision…one that’s hard to reconcile. Until I can do that, I’m docking one star.
Oh…and one mercurial heed to the producers: there’s no such word as “disorientated”. Other than that, it’s an beneficial documentary.
What a mountainous drama! The suspense, the scenery, the human interest and interaction, the detail….it’s almost like being there. This is a big series. I can’t wait for the second season to arrive out on DVD.
