Tomorrow night, PBS will air the Frontline episode Storm Over Everest created by David Breashears. The film is about the 1996 expedition to Mount Everest that resulted in the death of many climbers, portrayed from a slightly different perspective than Krakauer’s gripping account “Into Thin Air.” If you’ve never read or listened to Krakauer’s book, I highly recommend it. (I borrowed the audio book years ago and listened to it twice it was so good!) The Frontline special promises to be interesting as well. I’m interested to see the interview with Beck Weathers (what a fortuitous name) who was left for dead twice and miraculously awoke and stumbled his way back to camp.
