Soldiers to the Summit

Serac Adventure Films is currently in the process of producing a film that tells the story of eleven wounded veterans whose road to recovery takes them into the Khumbu Valley of Nepal, and up to the summit of one of the great mountains near Mt. Everest – the 20,075-foot Himalayan peak known as Lobuche.

One veteran is blind, three have lost limbs, and all 11 suffer from the mental and emotional ravages of war. The story of the veterans climb was recently published in the April issue of Outside Magazine. It's an excellent and inspirational read.

To stay on top of what's happening with the film and the veterans in the film, Serac Adventure Films has recently launched a blog.

In the meantime, you can watch a short trailer from the film:
