National Geographic: Surviving Everest
National Geographic unites sons of mountaineering greats for a new expedition in "Surviving Everest", fifty years after the first successful ascent to the top of the world. Half a century ago, Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay became the first humans to stand atop the highest mountain on earth. Now, their sons and Brent Bishop, son of the first American to summit Everest, make a historic expedition to face Everest's unforgiving heights. Experience their harrowing, deeply individual quests to conquer this awesome peak - and discover the dramatic history of Everest, from tragedy and triumph to the unsung role of the remarkable Sherpa people. With gripping, on-location filming and never-before-seen archival footage, this is the thrill of Everest as only National Geographic can present it!
