David Breashears, the first American to scale Everest twice, was a veteran of nine previous Himalayan filmmaking expeditions when he agreed to lead what became his most challenging yet. The expedition was organized by motion picture producer MacGillivray Freeman Films and comprised an international team of climbers. Their goal was to carry a specially modified IMAX motion picture camera to the summit of Everest and return from the top of the world with the first footage ever shot there in this spectacular format.
