A second special premier showing of the new IMAX film Everest has been scheduled for March 19 at Riverfront Park.

The first premier, featuring a slide presentation by Sherpa expedition leader Jamling Tenzing Norgay, sold out quickly.

“Folks showed an obvious interest for the March 20 show,” said premier organizer Paul Fish of Mountain Gear. “We were able to talk Jamling into doing another event.”

Norgay is the son of Tenzing Norgay, the Sherpa guide who joined with Edmund Hillary to make the first ascent of Everest in 1953. The younger Norgay led the IMAX filming expedition, which was on the world’s highest peak in 1996 during the most deadly storm in Everest climbing history.

The March 19 premier event begins at 6:30 p.m. with desserts catered by Patsy Clark’s Restaurant. Advanced tickets must be purchased for $15 through Mountain Gear or G&B Select-A-Seat outlets.

The IMAX film will begin its regular run at the Riverfront Park Theater on April 4. , DataTimes
