The Journey:
The Path to Everest

"The freedom to explore is a freedom everybody should have,
regardless of their ability or disabilitiy."
— Gary Guller, Team Leader
"Team Everest: A Himalayan Journey" chronicles a remarkable group of trekkers on an expedition to the world's highest mountain.
If they succeed in their quest,
the team will be the largest group of people with disabilities ever to reach Mount Everest Base Camp.
Five men in wheelchairs and their teammates
—representing a range of disabilities—
trek 21 days through the high Himalaya.
From their departure in the Sherpa village of Lukla, the team will attempt to reach an altitude of over 17,500 feet in one of the most inaccessible regions on earth. A Nepali support team is engaged to help push, pull, and carry members over the rugged, steep terrain. In this part of the world, the altitude and intense cold can stop even the most experienced hikers in their tracks.
Here is the Challange
and remember, these are handicapped people,

if the team reaches Base Camp, @ 17,500 feet above sea level,
Their expedition leader and amputee,
Gary Guller,
will make a bid for the summit of Everest.
There is stunning footage from the kingdom of Nepal,
"Team Everest"
is a story of personal ambition,
as it dares us to reach beyond our perceived limitations and
explores our unlimited capacity to dream.
