Gau Ming-Ho a climber depicted as a slow selfish climber that led to the problems highlighted in Jon Krakauer’s “Into Thin Air”, has launched a documentary refuting the claims and saying the problems lie with the corruption of the guide services that charge $65,000 for an Everest climb
The documentary is called “Prayer Flags.”
It also takes a swipe at others, including Russian guide and wellknown mountaineer Anatoli Boukreev, prompting the latter to write another book, ââ∠âThe Climbâââ¬Ã to give his side of the story.
ââ∠âI decided to make a documentary to set the record straight.âââ¬Ã Ã¢â∠âPrayer Flagsâââ¬ÃÂ, the 30-minute video, holds human greed responsible for the deaths, not the storm.
