Mountain Men: A Lonely Conquest

on BBC Two England

by Don Shebib
The last of three plays about climbers who were first to the top.
Starring Bruce Greenwood
with James Hurdle and Kenneth Welsh

'I feel something is about to happen to me that I cannot put into words. It is as if I am soon to meet my destiny. Whatever occurs I will embrace it with my whole being.'
In 1953 Hermann Buhl faced the summit of Nanga Parbat, a mountain which had already taken 31 lives. This is his story.
