You need to LIVE to tell the TALE.
Its not the ALTITUDE but the ATTITUDE that matters....

Some of the Cardinal Truths of High Altitude treks or for that matter any trek....
EVEREST the movie epitomizes this in a matter of fact way....the second half is gritty, tight ,edge of the seat viewing sans melodrama ....

I am not sure about the base camp facilities shown ....I was under impression that high altitude trekking n Liquor doesn't go hand in hand, even the supplies available are bordering luxury ...
