Jim Morrison on Becoming the First Person to Ski the North Face of Everest

Season 2027 Episode 9027 | 18m 25s

A new documentary captures a nearly impossible Himalayan trek never before accomplished. "Everest: The Other Side" follows ski mountaineer Jim Morrison and partner Hilaree Nelson as they climb and then ski down the north face of Everest — the mountain's most dangerous route. The expedition was captured by filmmaker Jimmy Chin. He and Morrison join Hari Sreenivasan to discuss the film.
