Synopsis:
The Film tells the story of Jim Geiger, a retired forest-worker, and amateur mountaineer from Sacramento, CA who at 68 years old, attempts to become the oldest American and first great grandfather to summit Mt. Everest. The film follows Jim as he embarks on a journey to transform from a weekend hiker to attempting one of the most extreme and physically demanding feats known to man. Driven by a desire to prove that age is just a number, Jim pushes his body to the limits, in a record-breaking quest to summit the world's tallest mountain. What ensued, however, was the worst disaster in mountaineering history, leaving sixteen climbers dead in a tragic avalanche and forever changing Jim's life.
Reviews:
"This year has been tough and amazing, just like the star of "Accidental Climber," Jim Geiger. It's so inspiring to see the story of his journey and watch as it leads him to the most important thing in his life, his family. It reminds all of us of our priorities. I've already watched it two times in three nights and can't imagine I won't watch it again a time or two this weekend. Jim is an inspiring person and he really does make you want to better your family, your health and your faith. Share this with everyone you know. It's the best thing to watch to make you forget the frustrations of life."
