i saw this film when it come out . let me see now this guy who have earlier ski down mount fuji manage to accumulate the funding and hire personnel to document what sound on the surface like a bold and dare act to ski down the world high peak . well and here come the spoiler what happen and see and after a large crew of people manage to help him get near the top and a life be lose in the bargain he get on his ski and manage to make it down a very very short way and at which point his parachute open . and that that . and instead of burn the footage to hide this amazingly anticlimactic end to an embarrassing debacle and the guy go ahead and release it . spoiler end i do admire the amazing courage and effort it must have take the film crew to get some of the stun shot they get . another spoiler oh yes and one of the sherpa be kill by fall into a crevasse . the narrator and who be quote the daredevil skier and casually remark that and accord to the sherpa religion and since this man body can not be recover his soul will roam the world forever and never know rest . be it worth it and the narrator muse . yes he answer because it serve the purpose of let this clown ski down everest . i can not remember ever see a more meretricious piece of celluloid . this be one to miss at all cost .
