Now, their sons of the first American to summit Everest, make a historic expedition to face Everest's unforgiving heights. Experience their harrowing, deeply individual quests to conquer this awesome peak-and discover the dramatic history of Everest, from tragedy and triumph to the unsung role of the remarkable Sherpas of Tibet.
