I did not know the history of this man or his expeditions before hand. So I was curious to see what happened. Now I'm still curious. The writer/director chose to spend the first hour on his unsuccessful attempt up the mountain. Then 45 minutes of him promising his wife that he will never return to the mountain. And then 10 minutes of him returning anyway and making it to the top. And then, as a "oh by the way" moment that I almost missed because everyone skips past the end credits, they put a written blurb on the screen to tell you he died on the way down.
Not making it up. The most important scene in the film isn't even there. They just toss a sentence onto the screen to tell you.
