Moreover, the material showing how to stage a climb up Mount Everest has the fascination of any well-organized body of how-to information. This segment of the film forms an interesting contrast to the spectacularly beautiful footage of Miura's practice runs at the lower altitudes and the wildly scary stuff at the end, when he is literally in danger of sailing right off the top of the world (only a parachute allows him to retain a measure of control...
