Using cutting-edge technologies, including high-altitude video and small cameras mounted to Sherpas' helmets, as well as old-fashioned human determination, the six-part production not only puts viewers on the summit of Everest, but also captures the amazing journey of individuals striving to reach an almost impossible goal.

The show documents the two-month expedition and the struggles, highs, low points and triumphs as people from all walks of life attempt to reach the world’s tallest peak.
