Everest - 60th Anniversary
Steve Chao (2013)
Conquering Mount Everest is undoubtedly one of man’s greatest feats. In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, made mountaineering history as the first men on the highest mountain in the world. Sixty years later on the anniversary of the ascent, Al Jazeera's '101 East' presenter Steve Chao, retraces Sir Hillary’s footsteps to Everest Base Camp at 17,598 feet. During this journey, he discovers that banking on the desire to scale the world’s tallest mountain, local and foreign mountaineering operators are cashing in on the job. Marking the first ascent of Everest, we celebrate the victories and explore the real costs of climbing this deadly peak.- 2013
