Synopsis
It is beautiful to look at, hard to reach, and terribly difficult to climb. Winds of 200 kilometres per hour or more scream across it day and night, while the temperature falls to -20 degree celsius or lower. Every year, some who try to climb the highest mountain in the world do not return.
