Its pretty amazing. A little over the top with production (scary EVER EVER EVER...EST EST EST music) but facinating.

I'm not sure about that but they did say that above a certain elevation, there is enough solar radiation that if you opened your mouth to breathe for a certain amount of time, you would burn the roof of your mouth.

It's actually called "Qomolangma"...Everest is a handle hung it on by colonialist pricks…

I took the dawn flight around Everest in the rickety old plane when I was in Nepal. It was pretty much the most amazing thing ever (plane was somewhat scary though)
