From the Back Cover

A team set off for the summit of Makalu in Nepal, the world's fifth highest mountain. A gruelling record of astonishing triumph over relentless adversity.

Guy Cotter is an expert high-altitude mountaineer with two Everest climbs under his belt. Takashi Ozaki is a veteran mountaineer with a successful Everest summit but he hasn't climbed at altitude for 15 years.

Although Bryan Moore is an expert alpine climber, he has never been above 22,000 feet (6705 metres) - experiencing the trauma of high altitude for the first time will be his greatest challenge.

These three climbers, along with the Nepalese Sherpa Lhakpa Dorjee and supported by a back-up team including Bruce Hasler, are going to try to summit Makalu.

This is a gripping account of the struggle to acclimatise, the struggle to navigate in appalling conditions and the final ascent with only three expedition members still climbing - Guy, Lhakpa and Takashi. After the horror of an avalanche, the three finally reach the summit.

Other titles in the X-Force Extreme Adventures series: Free Flight, Surfing, Diving, Mountain Biking & Sailing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Just another climbing holiday, 12 Jan 2008

By	Ian Evans (Lochmaben, Scotland) - See all my reviews

This is a disappointing film and no more than a personal account of a small team's climbing 'holiday' to Malaku - the 5th highest mountain in the world. There were a few attempts to explain the psycological and physiological issues of climbing at high altitude, but overall the film degraded into a record of personal ambition and reflection.

As with so many climbing films, there is so much complaint about the conditions and difficulties encountered on such a venture that one starts to wonder why these people do it in the first place! Yes, the summit was reached by three members of the team, but for the viewer the film offered little in the way of explanation of the route or the environment in which they were operating. The filming and photography was also very poor with very few shots of the magnificent scenery which lay all around them.

I am glad that I only rented this DVD. Watching it once was enough, had I bought it, it would have spent the rest of its days gathering dust.
