Just curious as to which mountain this is. Looks a bit like Everest, but unless it's an angle I'm not familiar with, it doesn't look quite right.

Is that Everest, with the South Summit to the right and zoomed out a bit far to see the Hillary Step as a step? I'm not sure, it looks like it but I don't quite recognise the Three Pinnacles from that angle.

Mount Tom, Californian Sierra Nevada.

Thanks very much.

Once the real mountain is pointed out and pictures checked, it's very obvious it isn't Everest. But at first I wondered if they'd inserted a picture of Everest into the film digitally. But in that case from that viewpoint, Changtse should be in the way.

Given that there's forest around Mount Tom, I presumed that they just filmed it there, rather than did any digital trickery.

IMHO Mount Tom viewed from the forest like that is a pretty damn impressive sight.
