Mountaineer and cinematographer David Breashears, who summited Mount Everest with a huge specially-built IMAX camera, has died.
Mountaineer and cinematographer David Breashears, a pioneer in high altitude filmmaking who summited Mount Everest with a huge specially-built IMAX camera, has died.
“In his lifetime, David climbed to the summit of Mt. Everest five times, including an ascent with the IMAX camera in 1996,” his family says in a statement announcing his passing. It was on this first expedition to Everest in 1983 that he broadcast the first live television images from the peak’s summit.
Breashears and his team were filming when a blizzard struck the mountain on May 10, 1996, killing eight other climbers.
