TARGET: Mt. Everest video for 7th grade

[Apple Valley <applevalley@HENDERSON.K12.NC.US>]

One of our seventh grade teachers wants to show a video to correlate with
a story in the literature book about a woman's attempt to climb Mt.
Everest. The students have already seen the IMAX video "Everest."

Does anyone have a good video to recommend for these classes? I'm
considering "Everest: The Death Zone," a NOVA program. Is it too
scientific, too adult for seventh graders? Has anyone used "Everest:
Tempting Fate," a part of the Into the Thin Air of Everest series? If so,
would you recommend it?

I checked the archives (nothing there besides the IMAX video) and a couple
of web sites with reviews, but I would like some comments from you.

If you have any suggestions about what I should order, please reply
directly to me. I will post a hit if there is interest. Thanks in advance
for any help you can offer.
