Now, more than 30 years later, Hillary and his climbing companion return to Everest to celebrate their historic ascent. Complete with breathtaking footage from the 1953 expedition, Return to Everest is a tribute to the brave men who tamed this famous mountain, as well as the Sherpa people of Nepal who helped these pioneers to achieve their goal.
