re: trailer for "everest" released

Will watch simply because I've always wanted to climb it and have read tons of books on mountaineering the 7 summits.

Is this based on Into Thin Air (which is incredible if you haven't read it)?

ETA: Yep, looking at the cast. This is based on Jon Krakauer's "Into Thin Air"


Little known DMATB's mountaineering/brag fact: Richard Bass is the first man to climb the 7 summits. He is a Texas oil man. He owns Snowbird ski resort in Utah and a home in Vail, CO. I have stayed at his home in Vail and he signed a copy of his book for me. Also the Vail house was called the "White House of the West" during the Gerald Ford administration as the President spent much of his spare time at Bass' home.
