For famed cinematographer, adventurer, and mountaineer David Breashears, the terrifying experiences on Mount Everest during the deadly 1996 season became the defining moment of his life. By 1995, Breashears had already twice reached Mt. Everest's summit. Then he faced the greatest challenge of his life: to scale the 29,028-foot peak while hauling a giant IMAX camera to film the documentary Everest.
In this extraordinary memoir, Breashears takes that perilous challenge, during which nine climbers would tragically perish, and uses it as the linchpin of his life. High Exposure reveals an inextricable link between this enigmatic man's troubled childhood, his brilliant successes as a climber and cinematographer, and his courage and honor in the face of disaster.
