Cho Oyu - West of Everest
Tim Boelter (2003)
Cho Oyu, West of Everest takes a candid look at the daily struggles associated with an expedition to climb the sixth highest mountain in the world. Although Cho Oyu has been dubbed one of the easiest 8,000-meter peaks to climb, in the rarified air at 26,906 feet, nothing comes easy. Follow this team of climbers as they reveal through their own words, the physical and mental barriers confronted throughout their journey. Although a small handful in this large expedition reaches the summit, a selfless rescue attempt ends in tragedy, proving that no 8,000-meter peak is easy.- 2003

Yangmolong - The first attempt
Tim Boelter (2009)
For over 20 years the last unclimbed independent 6000 meter peak in the Sichuan Province of China eluded climbers until now. Sometimes the effort to climb unexplored mountains in remote areas of the world lies not within the challenge to actually climb the peak, but in the struggle just to get to the mountain. In this raw and personal journey we follow a team for three years in their quest to make a first ascent of Yangmolong.Yangmolong - The first attempt
