Everest Rescue

Since the first climbers stood on the roof of the world, Mount Everest has claimed hundreds of lives. But now, specialist high altitude pilots are on hand, pushing man and machine, risking their lives to save others. When it all goes wrong, there’s only one shot at survival. The climbers’ fate rests in the hands of this extraordinary group of pilots. As climbers attempt to reach the roof of the world, the pilots of EVEREST RESCUE are put to the ultimate test. Each day they battle against the clock to rescue people who are stranded, often injured or suffering from life-threatening altitude sickness. To take on these life-saving missions in one of the World’s most challenging environments, they tackle constantly changing weather conditions and high altitude. Ultimately, people’s lives depend on their skills and the decisions they make in the thin air of the Himalayas – known as the world’s most dangerous mountain range.
