It is also the story of the world’s tallest mountain and the Sherpa culture and tradition that permeates the Everest experience. Originally released in 1998 to blockbuster success and now digitally remastered for a new generation, Everest is above all else a story of triumph over adversity and of the true power and resilience of the human spirit.
