National Geographic Live: Hilaree O'Neill

National Geographic Live: Hilaree O'Neill

Led by mountaineer HILAREE O’NEILL, a five-person team of National Geographic explorers, photographers, and filmmakers traveled 300-plus miles overland, across tiger reserves, into plunging gorges, and through the remotest cultural areas, in an effort to reach and ascend Hkakabo Razi. The team’s goal: to determine once and for all if the mountain summit was Southeast Asia’s highest point. What unfolded was a harrowing expedition that pushed the group to the brink mentally and physically.

Hilaree offers a riveting first-person account accompanied by Nat Geo photographer Cory Richards’ dramatic stills and clips from filmmaker Renan Ozturk’s Down to Nothing, a searing story about the motives that drive people to tackle the insurmountable, the suffering they’ll endure for their dreams, and the cracks that can appear in even the best laid plans.
