The story of Chris Bonington 's 1975 expedition. Just ten years ago the news came through from
Kathmandu that a British
Expedition had conquered the 'last great mountaineering challenge', the south-west face of Everest. Forty-eight hours later, the triumph was marred by the death of cameraman Mick Burke on the second summit assault. This is a revised version of the historic film of the climb, which was the BBC entry for the Italia Prize and won wide critical acclaim.
