## Summary

Ski mountaineers Jim Morrison and Jimmy Chin abseiled down the side of a 12-storey building in West Hollywood to promote the documentary *Everest: The Other Side*. The film follows Morrison’s unprecedented ski descent of Everest’s north face, a dangerous achievement that took on added significance after his life partner and climbing companion, Hilaree Nelson, died in an avalanche in 2022.

Morrison and Nelson had planned to climb Everest’s north face and ski the Hornbein Couloir; after Nelson’s death, Morrison eventually chose to pursue their goal. His descent took four hours, with a mistake potentially fatal. The documentary, directed by Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, opened at 551 cinemas on Friday, including IMAX locations, after screenings at Venice, Telluride and Toronto.
