The Best Mt. Everest (and Other Adventure) Documentaries

Welcome to Ashley's Weekly Deep Dive

If you follow me online and enjoy that experience, you probably love when I get absolutely obsessed with a topic and need to know everything about it. If you hate my online presence, kudos to you, and I’d imagine part of that is because it’s absolutely irritating wondering why I’m tweeting non-stop about a random topic for days on end. But this is what makes the internet great! We all go on late night Wikipedia dives, I just choose to share mine with the world, in real time.

I can’t tell you exactly how this particular interest started. Like most, I started on Mt. Everest documentaries when a post about Green Boots and the bodies left on the mountain went viral a few years ago. But beyond accidents and deaths, I can’t say I was too interested in white men “conquering” this or any mountain. I did watch Free Solo when it won Best Documentary at the 2019 Academy Awards, though.

Last week, it finally clicked for me. Why? No idea. It started with watching an episode of Very Scary People about Dr. Michael Swango (I do recommend it - Dr. Death - season 2, episode 11-12). Reading about Swango turned into reading about every person currently being held in America’s only supermax prison. Next thing you know, you’re reading about a group of climbers who were held hostage and managed to escape. And now? You’ve arrived at the mountain, baby. Welcome to base camp.

Now, I have watched everything. I have favorite climbers (Lhakpa Sherpa, Conrad Anker). I have signed up for climbing newsletters. I have Google alerts on Jimmy Chin’s next move after finding Sandy Irvine’s foot. I have opinions on the 1954 Italian expedition to K2 (Bonatti is innocent). I actually probably could fucking climb Mt. Everest at this point (no I couldn’t, I respect the mountain and would properly train with a series of 8000ers.)

If you’ve gone on this dive or you’re interested, maybe you want to know what docs to watch. Well, let me put this useless knowledge to work for you: Here’s a list of my favorite Mt. Everest/climbing/action documentaries.

Everest and Hope

Ah, the achievements of humanity. We are so powerful. Holy shit, if these people can do what they did, I can absolutely find the strength to organize my closet.

1. Pasang: In the Shadow of Everest (Prime Video), 2022

In 1993, Pasang Lhamu Sherpa became the first Nepali woman to summit Everest. In Sherpa culture, women aren’t expected to do much more than get married and have children.

Pasang went against her family, the government and other mountaineers to climb Mt. Everest. She was eventually recognized for her efforts with a statue and went on to inspire other women to make their way up.

2. Mountain Queen: The Summits of the Lhakpa Sherpa (Netflix), 2023

One of those women? My girl. My Mountain Queen: Lhakpa Sherpa. Lhakpa is the current women’s record holder for most Mt. Everest summits. Lhakpa works at a Whole Foods in Connecticut and then just goes and climbs Mt. Everest every once in awhile.

She was married to a famous climber who abused her and eventually was disgraced when it was reported he beat her on Mt. Everest. In the documentary, she brings one of her daughters along for her 10th trip to the top after years away from the mountain and looks back at her life.

3. 14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible (Netflix), 2021

Nirmal Purja is a badass in mountaineering. In 2019, he set out to climb all 14 eight-thousander peaks within seven months. 8000ers are mountains officially recognized as being more than 8,000 meters above sea level. If you want to understand why people do this and what it means to them, this is the documentary to watch.

Western culture is incredibly focused on the idea of “conquering” these mountains. The Nepali know these mountains can’t be conquered. It’s a spiritual journey.

4. The Man Who Skied Down Everest (Peacock), 1975

This Canadian documentary about Yuichiro Miura won Best Documentary Feature in 1975. Miura decides to ski down Mt. Everest. The documentary follows his process as he puts together a team of porters, sherpas and support to help him to the summit.

In the process, six sherpas were killed and Miura spends an equal amount of time skiing down Mt. Everest as he does falling. It’s still considered one of the greatest feats achieved on Everest.

5. Death Zone: Cleaning Everest (Tubi), 2018

Most Western documentaries about Everest focus on the climbers who want to break records or summit. Death Zone: Cleaning Everest looks at the Sherpa who are left to clean up after them to maintain the mountain that provides them with fresh water.

These workers bring down tons of garbage and bodies that could contaminate water. Most trash and bodies come from the Death Zone, the dangerous part of Mt. Everest that’s above 8,000 meters.

While some believe bodies are kept on Mt. Everest as memorials, in reality, the Sherpa would prefer to have them all removed. In their culture, the soul can’t rest without proper burial rights. So, while white westerners may see this as an exciting way to go out; becoming part of the mountain. The Sherpa just see it as an inconvenience. This documentary shows the true impact of tourism on Mt. Everest.

6. The Porter: The Untold Story at Everest (Tubi), 2020

You’ve probably noticed a theme here: I really think if you want to understand Mt. Everest, you have to start with the porters and sherpa. Sir Edmund Hillary wouldn’t have been the first person to summit Mt. Everest without Tenzing Norgay. Even today, most rich people who summit Everest are only able to do it because they hire a crew of porters or sherpa to set up camps for them and haul supplies.

They’re often underpaid and risk their lives with the hardest tasks on the mountain. This documentary is about a white guy who wants to see how hard it really is to be a porter. He trains with other porters; living with them, speaking the language, eating their food and realizes: oh, yeah, this is really hard.

This documentary exposes the harsh reality of the people who make people’s ultimate goal in life come true. It does move slow, though. It’s not a well edited documentary.

7. Everest: A Climb for Peace (Apple TV), 2007

This documentary is narrated by Orlando Bloom. Basically, a bunch of people of different faiths went to the top of Mt. Everest together.

The focus is on a Palestinian and Israeli climber who put aside their differences. It’s inspirational, if a bit overdramatic. The climb did not achieve peace.

8. The Conquest of Everest (Prime Video), 1953

The 1953 documentary about the first successful summit of Everest by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. I don’t particularly care about this one.

If you’re into the history, though, obviously this is a must watch.

Everest and Disaster

Ok, you wanna know about the dark shit. You started on the “List of deaths on eight-thousanders” wikipedia page and you wanna know what to watch. Well, here are all the documentaries that will make you feel sad.

1. Sherpa (Apple TV, MUST WATCH), 2015

This is my favorite documentary about Mt. Everest. It follows Phurba Tashi, a badass sherpa who has summited Mt. Everest 21 times. You’ll also see him pop up in a few of these other documentaries too. The documentary was meant to highlight the lives of the Sherpa people, but the 2014 Mt. Everest Ice Avalanche Disaster happened during filming. 16 Sherpa were killed in the avalanche and the rest of the sherpa and porters went on strike to demand an end to the season. They did not want to climb over the graves of their friends.

Well, American mountaineering companies and the rich people who paid to go up were very angry about that. They claim the Sherpa are violent, irrational people. They say that they’ll be left starving without their American money. It’s fucking disgusting. They do everything they can to convince the Sherpa to break the strike.

The documentary also gets into an altercation that happened on the mountain in 2013 between the Sherpa, Ueli Steck and other climbers. The western climbers disrespected the Sherpa, breaking their request that no one climb above them while they laid new rope. A full brawl broke out, which was captured on cellphone footage.

2. Eye to Eye with Everest - Death on a Mountain (Prime Video), 2013

Two filmmakers decided to follow Dr. Thomas Weber as he tried to become the first visually impaired climber to take on the North Face of Mt. Everest. Sadly, he died during the attempt and the camera crew also captures the near death of another climber, Lincoln Hall. Weber’s body is still on the mountain.

If I’m being real, this documentary moves pretty slow. You could skip it. Lincoln Hall’s story is told better in other documentaries.

3. To Live or Die on Everest (Discovery+/Max), 2020

In 2019, eleven people died on Mt. Everest during the season due to bad weather and overcrowding. More mountaineering teams profiting off of inexperienced climbers have created conditions that present more danger than the weather or conditions of the mountain.

This documentary looks at the 2019 deaths and what could be done to keep the mountain from being overcrowded in the future.

4. Race to the Summit (Netflix), 2023

This documentary isn’t just about Mt. Everest. It’s about the competition between two alpine climbers: Ueli Steck and Dani Arnold. Steck is a name you’ll see in many documentaries like The Alpinist, Free Solo, Torn, Sherpa and more. This documentary explains why he’s so important to the sport.

Steck is also important to Mt. Everest history and the climb that kills him happens there. Dani Arnold has continued to climb, but Steck’s story puts this documentary on the tragedy list.

5. The Dark Side of Everest (Prime Video), 2003

The 1996 Mount Everest Disaster makes up the events of Into Thin Air. Those events happened when a freak storm hit the mountain on May 10th, 1996. We will get into other documentaries about the details of that event. The Dark Side of Everest is about another death that happened that season.

2 weeks after surviving the Mount Everest Disaster, Bruce Herrod made his way up the mountain. Despite being told to turn back because night was approaching, he wouldn’t give up on the summit.

Summit fever is when people refuse to turn back, make it, but die on descent because they’ve lost energy or lose their mind. Herrod was found dead the following morning. It also gets into the death of “Sleeping Beauty,” Francys Arsentiev in 1998. She’s considered one of the “famous” bodies used on the mountain as a landmark.

7. Aftershock: Everest and the Nepal Earthquake (Netflix, MUST WATCH), 2022

This documentary looks at a few disasters during the Nepal Earthquake. One of those events is an avalanche at Mt. Everest Base Camp during the earthquake. With aftershocks and people still on the mountain, it’s a terrifying watch.

It also has an incredibly entertaining story about a group of Israeli men who try to steal from a Nepali village as they escape a valley impacted by the earthquake. They continue to lie in their interviews and paint the Nepali people as violent savages who wanted to kill them. They even try to get someone to bring weapons in on a helicopter.

Meanwhile, the villagers in their interviews are just like, “we asked them to leave our stuff alone and asked why they came back with money if they were looking for food.” It’s an honest look at the clash between rich, entitled tourists and the people who actually live in these areas.

8. Dying for Everest (Tubi), 2007

In 2006, Mark Ingles became the first double amputee to summit Mt. Everest. however, his achievement wasn’t celebrated because it was revealed that an incapacitated climber, David Sharp, died near the summit and Ingles passed him.

Ingles was blamed for not stopping to help Sharp, but the reality is that he and many other climbers did stop to help Sharp. Sharp, however, was ill-prepared and traveling alone. It became a huge debate about the selfishness of modern climbers. Sir Edmund Hillary even came out and basically called Ingles an asshole! Ingles became a pariah, but Dying for Everest sets the record straight.

9. Everest: Beyond the Limit (Prime Video, TV Show), 2006

A three season show on Discovery+ that followed one mountaineering team’s annual expeditions. You’ll see famous climbers like Jimmy Shin and Phurba Tashi in this show.

It’s a great look at how commercialism and capitalism have changed Mt. Everest. There are some disasters and successes. It’s a pretty good show, but it gets repetitive.

10. Everest: The Hard Way (Tubi, MUST WATCH), 2020

This doc is so fucking good. Basically, in 1998 a team of Slovak alpine style climbers wanted to see if they could take Sir Chris Bonington’s route up the southwest face of Everest, alpine style and without supplemental oxygen. Alpine style is basically the free solo version of mountain climbing.

This route is also called “The Hard Way.” Why? Because it is very hard. Do they make it? Watch to find out! I mean, it’s in the disaster section of this list so…you can probably guess where this goes.

11. Storm Over Everest - PBS Frontline (YouTube, MUST WATCH), 2008

I mentioned the 1996 storm that inspired Into Thin Air and this is a PBS Frontline episode that gets into the details. It gets into the rescue efforts and mistakes that led to the disaster. This documentary is visceral and makes you feel like you’re on the mountain with the survivors. It’s incredibly well done.

It gets into inexperienced climbers taking on Mt. Everest, guides who put their lives at risk and the sacrifice it can take to summit.

12. Everest - IMAX (DVD/Illegal Streaming), 1998

This is the highest-grossing film made in the IMAX format. Why? Because it’s incredible. It also follows the 1996 storm mentioned above and the events in Into Thin Air.

It’s narrated by Liam Neeson and gets into Beck Weathers’ survival in more detail. Weathers was left for dead on the mountain twice, but managed to make it back to Camp 4 and a rescue team. I’d love to see this back in theaters.

13. The Fatal Game (Prime Video, Tubi), 1997

In 1994, Mike Reinberger is on his seventh attempt at reaching the summit. His guide, Mark Whetu, suggests they head back just feet away because of dropping temperatures. Reinberger refuses and keeps going. The two end up forced to spend the night on top of Mt. Everest.

The Fatal Game shows, in real time, Whetu’s attempts to save Reinberger. Eventually, Base Camp tries to get Whetu to abandon Reinberger or else they’ll both die. Over radios, you hear Whetu grapple with the choice to leave his friend.

Everest and ~Mystery~

Hell yeah Mt. Everest has mysteries. Were Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzig Norgay really the first people to make it to the top? Some people say no! Enter the mystery of George Mallory and Andrew Irvine who died on Everest in 1924 near the summit, 29 years before Hillary and Norgay.

There’s also mysteries like: Whose body is this? or Where is this body?

1. Lost on Everest (Disney+, Hulu), 2020

In 2019, a team of climbers tries to figure out that Mallory/Irvine mystery I mentioned. They go to the death zone to look for clues that the men did get to the summit and look for the body of Sandy Irvine. They take some dangerous risks to search the death zone where the men were lost.

2. Everest’s Greatest Mystery (Hulu, Philo), 2020

Another group of climbers led by Jake Norton try to find clues about Sandy Irvine and George Mallory. A lot of white people really want to prove that Hillary and Norgay weren’t the first people up there.

Anyway, it is a fascinating mystery. Personally? I think they made it up there! I think China either destroyed the evidence because they found Mallory with the camera or the camera is still out there. The truth will come! They found Irvine’s foot just this year.


3. Everest Without Oxygen (Apple TV), 2022

How the HELL do people climb Mt. Everest without supplemental oxygen? It’s crazy!! A lot of people die attempting to do this! Why would you even want to do it? Oxygen is great! This documentary does a great job explaining what the hell is up with this.


4. The Wildest Dream: Conquest of Everest (Apple TV, Prime Video), 2010

Conrad Anker (my hero, you’ll learn more about him below!) wanted to see if it would really be possible for George Mallory and Andrew Irvine to climb the Second Step with the equipment they had at the time. The Second Step is the most difficult final task before the summit.

Anker thinks if they made it pass this, they definitely made it to the top. Some don’t think they could’ve made it without modern equipment. This is also cool because Anker and his climbing partner wear clothes like those used in 1924.

Anker is the person who found George Mallory’s body in 1999, so the documentary also gets into that. There is a PBS Nova episode about discovering Mallory, but it’s hard to find. You might be able to find it on YouTube.


5. Finding Michael (Hulu, Disney+), 2023

In this documentary, a guy tries to find the body of his brother who was lost on Mt. Everest in 1999. He returns 23 years later and waits at base camp while the sherpa he hired go up to look for Michael Matthews. In 2017, the family was given a photo of a body that could be his and the documentary tries to verify the photo.

It’s kind of an odd documentary and gets into the ethics of removing bodies from the mountain. There are many stories of people who died trying to retrieve or move bodies and Spencer Matthews is aware that his search puts people in danger. There’s also an odd backstory where the family tried to sue the guide who took Michael up, but they pointed out that the sherpas told Michael he was moving too slow and to turn around.

Eventually, Spencer decides to bring back the body of a local father when the search for his brother concludes. This creates one of the most awkward moments I have ever seen in a documentary. Rather than allowing this family to see their father’s body for the first time alone, they put cameras on them.

Spencer clearly expects to be treated like a hero, but the guy’s kids are just screaming and crying. Their uncle explains that they’re sad because now they know for sure they’ve lost both of their parents.

Not Everest and Disaster

Ok, you’ve had your fill of Mt. Everest and you want to look at other mountains with higher kill rates. Ok! Here are some other great documentaries!


1. The Summit - K2 (Netflix, MUST WATCH), 2012

In 2008, 22 climbers tried to reach the summit of K2, the world’s second-highest mountain. By the end of the day, 11 of them would be dead. When this event happened, survivors disagreed on events and this documentary also tries to clear the record on who saved who and what wasn’t true. It’s terrifying and uses real footage and photos to detail the events of that day.


2. Torn (Hulu/Disney+, MUST WATCH), 2021

I LOVE THIS MOVIE. You want to know why I love Conrad Anker? This will tell you why! Anker was climbing partners with Alex Lowe, one of the world’s best climbers who died in an avalanche that Anker survived. There’s also an Ueli Steck cameo, he finds Lowe’s body 16 years after the accident.

Torn looks at survivor’s guilt, the events of Lowe’s death and Anker’s relationship with the family Lowe left behind. It’s about family, fathers, loss, and love. I put it on the tragedy list because it really is both Lowe’s and Anker’s story.


3. Death on the Matterhorn: A Murder Mystery at 14,000 Feet (Tubi), 2020

In 1865, a group of 7 men sought to be the first to summit the Matterhorn. Thought unclimbable and considered the deadliest mountain in the world, the team raced a group of Italian climbers to the top. On the way down, an accident would leave 3 of them dead, but was it an accident????

Maybe…it was murder.

4. The Alpinist (Peacock, MUST WATCH), 2021

Marc-André Leclerc is my new hero. The guy is just one of the most daring climbers to ever do it. This documentary details the record-breaking climbs he did in the year before his death. It’s wonderful. It’s sad. It’s a touching portrait of someone truly doing what they loved to do. We’d be lucky to live a life like his.

Also, it’s so so so so scary. If you liked Free Solo, you’ll love The Alpinist. Free soloing is a rockclimbing term and alpine style is the mixed terrain version of that with snow and ice. Alpine style uses ice axes, crampons, ice screws and some ropes. Leclerc was doing what Alex Honnold did on ice.

5. The Last Mountain (Apple TV), 2021

The story of Tom Ballard who disappeared while climbing Nanga Parbat. He was the son of Alison Hargreaves, who died while climbing K2 in 1995. It’s a sad look at both of their final moments in the same mountain range.

You follow the family as they get the news about Tom and the story behind his final climb with a mix of social media and video. His sister goes to retrace the steps of her brother and mother.

6. The Beckoning Silence (Prime Video), 2007

After a near-death mountain climbing experience, Joe Simpson doesn’t think he’ll be able to climb again with his injuries. We’ll get into the details of that accident below with the documentary Touching the Void.

In The Beckoning Silence, his eventual recovery leads him to look into other great climbing disasters and that of his hero, Toni Kurz. He retraces the 1936 Eiger north face climbing disaster where Kurz and 4 other climbers died. Toni’s story is tragic.

7. Eiger: Wall of Death (BBC, YouTube), 2010

After watching The Beckoning Silence, you’ll probably want to know about more accidents on the Wall of Death. There are a lot!

Not Everest and Hope

Oh, you’re a normal person and you don’t want more stories of disaster and death? Okay, well here are some climbing documentaries that will leave you optimistic! Climbing is also a celebration of human strength and ability!


1. Meru (Tubi, Prime Video), 2015

Another Conrad Anker documentary? Fuck yeah. This one also has Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk, two names you’ll see a lot in these documentaries (behind the camera and in front.) In 2008, the three tried to summit Meru. They failed.

In 2011, they go back and try to finish what they started. There are multiple accidents and an avalanche, but you’ll be cheering for them to accomplish their goal. It’s also cool because Anker is the person who finds George Mallory and this year, Chin found Irvine’s foot.


2. Touching the Void (Philo, AMC+), 2003

I mentioned this documentary above when we talked about The Beckoning Silence. This is the doc you’ll want to watch with that. In 1985, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates tried to ascend the west face of Siula Grande in Peru. Simpson breaks his leg and ends up deep in a crevasse.

It’s shocking the two are able to survive. PBS calls it one of the 100 Greatest Documentaries of All Time. It’s a wild watch! There’s even a sequel where the two return to the site of the disaster


3. Messner (Prime Video), 2012

Reinhold Messner is probably the one person on this list you’ve heard about. He’s considered the greatest mountaineer of all time. Also? He’s still alive! Watch his achievements and breathe easy knowing he makes it through everything alive.

4. Free Solo (Hulu, Disney+), 2018

Do I really need to tell you about Free Solo or Alex Honnold? This is probably the biggest climbing documentary on earth. It won an Academy Award.

Hey, it’s great. I do like The Alpinist more, but Honnold is dope, alive and you’ll see him in a lot of these other documentaries. It’s a great look at the mindset it takes to climb.

5. The Dawn Wall (DVD, Illegal Streaming, Netflix took it down), 2017

Tommy Caldwell, who you might remember from Free Solo, tries to climb the Dawn Wall of El Capitan. He also talks about the time he was captured by militants in Kyrgystan and had to push one of his captors over a cliff to escape.

Yeah! This is the story that got me into this whole deep dive!

6. Fine Lines (Prime Video), 2019

This documentary profiles various climbers about the reasons they climb. Alex Honnold, Jimmy Chin, Conrad Anker, Tommy Caldwell, everybody is here! They each share their unique perspectives and experiences.

It’s kind of boring! If I’m honest! I’m sure it’s great if you also climb.

7. Valley Uprising (Peacock), 2014

A documentary about the campgrounds around Yosemite valley and how they started as a weird group of hippies and outcasts. Climbing was outlawed, but they did it anyway. It looks at the changing culture around Yosemite and accidents there.

8. The Devil’s Climb (Hulu, Disney+), 2024

Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell (you know these two names well by now) try to scale every peak of Alaska’s Devil’s Thumb. Caldwell is doing this after an injury and Honnold just…has a hard time with people. The two push themselves to the limit and the visuals are stunning.

9. Mountain (Tubi), 2017

A gorgeous documentary with a beautiful soundtrack. It’s mostly about the majesty of mountains and why people are drawn to them, even though it’s crazy. It’s also narrated by Willem Dafoe! If you like drone shots of planes and heights, this is great.

Not Mountain Climbing and Disaster

So, you want to see more documentaries about people putting their lives in danger to do dangerous things but you’re tired of mountains? All those heights are giving you vertigo? Or you want a different kind of height? I got you.

1. Fly (Hulu, Disney+), 2024

Base jumping is the craziest shit I’ve ever seen. Using a wingsuit is even crazier. These people just…jump off mountains. I have friends who’ve considered this activity. 10 minutes into this documentary they said, nevermind, I’m good.

2. Dave Not Coming Back (Tubi), 2020

Deep water diving is scary. This documentary chronicles a group of divers who find the body of one of their friends. They put together a plan to retrieve his body for his parents, but the mission isn’t as easy as it seemed.

3. The Deepest Breath (Netflix), 2023

So, the people int hat last documentary use oxygen tanks and stuff so they can breath underwater. This is about freedivers. People who dive really deep without assistance. As you can imagine, it’s a dangerous sport.

Not Mountain Climbing and Hope

1. Diving into the Unknown (Tubi, Philo), 2016

A group of friends try to recover the bodies of their friends from an underwater cave. Eventually, police and rescue divers call off the search. So, the friends put together their own secret search. They try to evade police while safely retrieving their friends from the deep.

2. The Rescue (Disney+, Hulu), 2021

I love this documentary so much. It has a happy ending. It fills you with hope. It makes fun of Elon Musk. It really has everything! After all the sad stories above, you’ll want something that reminds you things really can turn out okay sometimes. They saved our boys!

3. Skywalkers: A Love Story (Netflix), 2024
