Als erster Mensch gelang es dem Neuseeländer Edmund Hillary zusammen mit Sherpa Tenzing Norgay 1953 den Gipfel des höchsten Berges der Welt zu besteigen: "Wir hatten nicht das Gefühl, den Everest bezwungen zu haben, wir hatten das Gefühl, der Everest habe nachgegeben" Noch heute scheitern unzählige Bergsteiger bei dem Versuch, das 8848 m hohe "Dach der Welt" zu erklimmen. Im Interview würdigt der Südtiroler Extrembergsteiger Reinhold Messner Hillary als "die Schlüsselfigur für den Mount Everest".

This is the breathtaking story of how two very different yet equally determined men battled frost-biting temperatures, tumbling ice rocks, powerful winds and death-defying ridges to climb the world’s highest mountain.
