La aig Bonn na Beinne/40 Days at Basecamp

Documentary on Mount Everest and those that try to conquer it. A sacred deity to the local population, Mount Everest has become the rest of the globe's most extreme playground.

Chan e a-mhàin na daoine as gaisgeile agus as sgileile a tha an-diugh a' feuchainn air Beinn Ebhearest a dhìreadh. Ged a tha muinntir nan sgìrean ionadail ga faicinn mar dhia naomh, dhan chòrr dhen t-saoghal, chan eil ann ach an raon-cluiche as dùbhlanach a tha ri fhaighinn.

Air feadh na beinne àirde, tha streapadairean neo-phroifeiseanta, aig fichead 's a h-ochd mìle troigh, a' feitheamh an cothrom gus seasamh air mullach an t-saoghail.

Scaling Everest is no longer reserved for only the bravest and most skilled. A sacred deity to the local population, Mount Everest has become the rest of the globe's most extreme playground. The towering peak is awash with amateur climbers queuing at 28,000ft, for a chance to stand on top of the world.
