Man Over Mountain

Discovery Health Channel

Man Over Mountain tells the extraordinary true story of Ed Hommer, a former bush pilot whose plane crashed on Mt. McKinley (Denali) in 1981. Trapped on the mountain for five days, Hommer watched two passengers perish before help arrived but the brutal cold cost him both legs below the knee. Years later, after grueling rehabilitation and an unbreakable spirit, Hommer returns to face the peak that nearly killed him. His triumphant ascent makes him the first double amputee ever to stand atop North America’s highest summit.
