Everest: The Death Zone

Everest: The Death Zone. This documentary captures the essence of a climb better than any other I have seen. For every six successful summits on Everest, one person will die. With more people climbing into the Death Zone, above 26,000 feet, one critical question is how oxygen deprivation affects the brain. I think this documentary holds some universal applications to life and business.

Even with the best technology, the best training, you can still end up frozen to death at 27,500 feet. That's what makes Everest Everest.
