Ice Fall Doctors Make Climbing Everest Possible

Every year hundreds of people attempt to climb Mount Everest, but if it wasn't for the ice fall doctors and sherpas, they'd probably never make it to the top. Ice fall doctors ensure climbers cross frozen crevasses safely.
We spoke with Dina Mufti, a documentary director best know for the BBC series Human Planet, about what she saw filming the ice doctors on Everest.
Dina was on the 2015 Banff Mountain Film Festival jury.
