Overview
HIGH AND HALLOWED: EVEREST 1963 is the deeper story of the greatest Himalayan climb in American mountaineering history.

Everest and the pioneering first ascent of the West Ridge. Five decades later, HIGH AND HALLOWED: EVEREST 1963 journeys back to Everest to discover if the essence of risk, adventure and the unknown that drew the first Americans to the summit still exists on Everest today.
