THE REST OF EVEREST

Road Trip. Since we couldn’t get aboard the plane to Tibet today, we decided to carry on to Pokara about 200km west of Kathmandu. The Nepal national highway system is not your typical high-speed thoroughfare! We thought that the road trip would be pretty easy but we’re not in Kansas anymore…and 200km ended up taking [...]

Description:	An Almost Unabridged Expedition Experience. The Rest of Everest is a video podcast conceived and created by documentary filmmaker Jon Miller of TreeLine Productions in Colorado. It is "the rest" of the footage from the groundbreaking expedition documentary "Everest: The Other Side" which engrossed thousands of viewers when it premiered on Dish Network™ Pay-Per-View in May of 2005. The film documents the 2003 expedition to the Northeast Ridge route in Tibet, and coincides with the 50th anniversary climbing season. The story revolves around 23-year old climber Ben Clark and the fulfillment of his dream to become one of the youngest climbers to ever summit Everest. Although the film has been very well received, there's just so much of the story left to be told. Miller returned from Everest with over 80 hours of tape from the 60 day expedition. The final cut of the film totaled just 84 minutes. Average that out and it appears that only one minute of every hour filmed made it into the finished version. Jon will regularly be editing sections of footage together and then watching them with Ben and other people involved with the expedition. He'll be recording their commentary to the footage so you can get all of the stories right from the people who experienced it first-hand. It won't always be exciting and there will be a lot of bad hair days, but it will be true to the expedition experience and it will always be interesting and entertaining.
