Synopsis

No ropes. No second chances.No guarantee of survival.On 27 May 1995, at just 22 years old, James Allen stood on the summit of Mount Everest’s unforgiving North Side, widely regarded as the deadliest route in the world.Climbing unroped and alone, he battled freezing winds and the thin air of the death zone, becoming the youngest Westerner, and the youngest Australian, New Zealander, and Briton, to reach the top.That night, five climbers set out. Two turned back. Three reached the summit.Then came the descent, a brutal fight for survival. Above 8,000 metres, one climber collapsed, and James was thrust into a desperate bid to get them both down alive.Stranded for two nights without a sleeping bag, he battled exhaustion, frostbite, and the crushing grip of altitude, every step a gamble between life and death.Everest: The Descent is a raw, gripping account of triumph and survival at the very edge of human endurance.A true story of courage, risk, and resilience on the roof of the world.
