If you have ever seen a ‘real’ movie about Everest, about the necessity of oxygen, about snow-blindness, the need to acclimate gradually, about frost bite, the pain and anguish of simply putting one foot in front of another…you would know this movie defies belief. They didn’t even bother to shiver!!!! Vertical Limit was so beyond any basis of reality it was offensive to the memory of true climbers who paid the ultimate price in their quest for the summit. Watch ‘Into Thin Air’. There’s a movie that deals with the nearly unsurvivable obstacles facing those who dare attempt to climb this mountain.
