What is it like to have the most dangerous job on earth year after year, for 30+ years?
Some of Everest's bravest Sherpas are "Icefall Doctors," who build and maintain an annual route through the most treacherous and deadliest part of the mountain, the Khumbu Icefall. If not for their work, none of the guided mountaineers would summit Everest from the Nepal side. This is the story of the original Icefall Doctor, Angnima Sherpa, and his last season on Everest before his death.
For over 10 years, filmmakers were granted unprecedented access by the government of Nepal to film the The Icefall Doctors.
