Before Everest | Ratings & Reviews

"A Hillary hatchet job is not Before Everest’s raison d’etre. Rather it aims to shed light on Earle’ Riddiford’s role in our mountaineering history and how his successful ascent of the Himalayas’ Mukut Parbat, along with Ed Cotter, was a key moment on the path to May 29, 1953."
