NOLS Grad’s TV Show Airs Next Week

On Tuesday, May 13, check out NOLS grad David Breashears’ new film, “Storm Over Everest” on PBS’ Frontline. Breashears came to NOLS at the age of 15 to do a Rocky Mountain adventure course and has since summited Everest five times. He has spent his life climbing mountains and credits NOLS with getting him started.

“Storm Over Everest” tells the story of climbers trapped on Everest by an intense storm in May 1996. Breashears was filming the first-ever IMAX movie on Everest at the time and aided in the rescue of climbers stranded by the storm. Hear survivors discuss the remarkable stories of those that made it down and the unfortunate loss of those that didn’t. We’ll be watching here in Lander, and we hope you will, too.
