When does a sport become an obsession? For serious
mountainclimbers there's no difference. It's an all
encompassing rapture, hauling yourself to the top of
a mountain and looking beyond the clouds to
something close to heaven. Sure climbers talk about
the mental and physical rigors of achieving the
summit, but how often do they describe the spiritual
high or the emotional risk? In this program,
produced by the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation, the world's premier climbers shed
some light on the ties that bind them to each other,
and to the mountain.
