This video is posted under "Fair Use" Guidelines. If you enjoyed this high production value documentary, please support PBS and David Breashears. Breashears' book "High Exposure" is one of the foremost quality sources on the 1996 Everest disaster and is a must read for anyone interested in high altitude mountaineering. In 1996 Jon Krakaeur, a journalist on assignment for Outside, climbed up all the way to the summit of Mt. Everest as client of Rob Hall's Adventure Consultants, one the most established guiding companies on the mountain. Along side was Scott Fischer's Mountain Madness, the new kid on the block, so to speak. The resulting competition between the two expeditions may have been the proverbial straw when combined with a perfect storm, literally, that also included overcrowding, inexperience, and over-confidence. Krakauer's 'Into Thin Air' chronicled the catastrophe, but left out others' experience. That experience is conveyed in the following film.- published: 20 Jan 2014

25 Crazy Facts That Will Make You Want To Climb Mount Everest
Tweet this video! - http://clicktotweet.com/lC4iA Every one knows that Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world (above sea level). But did you know these 25 crazy facts that will make you want to climb Mount Everest? https://twitter.com/list25 https://www.facebook.com/list25 http://list25.com Check out the text version too! - http://list25.com/25-crazy-facts-climb-mount-everest Here's a preview: Officially, Mount Everest is 29,029ft based on a 1954 ground measurement. A satellite-based measurement in 1999 found it to be six feet taller but this was disputed. The summit is just under the cruising altitude of a passenger jet (around 31,000ft) At Everest's highest point, you are breathing in a third of the amount of oxygen you would normally breathe. This isn't because of different air composition but rather because of less air pressure. Since 1969 at least one person has died on Everest every year except for 1977 Winds on the mountain have been recorded at more than 200mph. One out of every 10 successful climbs to the summit ends in death. There are estimated to be 200 dead bodies on the mountain and they are used as waypoints for climbers Reinhold Messner was the first to climb the mountain alone and without oxygen in 1980 Frenchman Marco Siffredi and Austrian Stefan Gatt snowboarded down the mountain in 2001. The oldest person to climb Everest is 80 year-old Yuichiro Miura of Japan The youngest person to reach the summit is 13 year old Jordan Romero. In May 2010, the young American broke the record previously held by 15 year old Ming Kipa of Nepal. The world's tallest man-made structure of any kind with the Burj Khalifa in Dubai at 829m. Everest is more than ten times its height. The world's second highest building, Taipei 101 in Taiwan would need to be stacked up more than 17 times to match Everest The first tweet from the summit was sent by Kenton Cool in 2011. He tweeted: "Everest summit no 9! 1st tweet from the top of the world thanks to a weak 3G signal" The mountain gets taller by 4mm every years due to upward thrust created by two opposing tectonic plates. Google has now mapped Everest, although it did not get to the summit. In 2011 a team spent 2 weeks hiking over 70 miles to reach base camp, capturing images along the way. Without extra oxygen, Australian Tim Macartney-Snape became the first to climb from sea level to the summit, in May 1990. The first phone call was place from the summit in summer of 2013. Nepalese officials, however, were less than impressed and deemed it illegal. Bear Grylls, the youngest British climber to summit the mountain, also flew higher than the peak in a powered paraglider in 2007. The record for the longest time spent on the summit is 21 hours, achieved by Babu Chiri Sherpa in 1999. In 2004 there was a wedding on the summit. Moni Mule Pati and Pem Dorjee Sherpa, both from Nepal kept their plans a secret from other climbers until they reached the peak. Two Polish climbers, Leszka Cichy and Krzysztof Wielicki, were the first two summit Everst during winter in February of 1980 Everest is well known for its "traffic jams". Sometimes several hundred climbers can be on the summit at the same time. The mountain was named after George Everest in 1856. He was a retired Surveyor General who never saw the peak. 1974 was the last year that no one climbed Mount Everest- published: 05 Nov 2013

Bodies on Mt Everest
Bodies on Mt Everest
Hello everyone! It's been quite a while since I've uploaded anything to my channel. But recently, I've made a video that I've been wanting to make for quite some time, and I have the connection to do it, so I figured, "why not?" How this video came about: About 2 years ago, I became aware of the problems of Mount Everest; more specifically, the pollution and garbage that has piled up over the years on this beautiful and majestic peak. In doing so, I became fascinated of the story about so many bodies being left behind. When climbing the World's Tallest Mountain, it's a given that you're facing death. Especially since nothing can survive without oxygen above 24,000 feet in elevation. However, in my research, it seems many people are either unaware of just how difficult it is to simply survive on such a challenging obstacle as Everest, or they just play ignorance. In any case, many are saddened, shocked; even horrified at the prospect of having to climb over bodies while ascending to the Summit. Indeed, many bodies become landmarks; names on maps, who's real identities are forgotten to time. While looking over images of bodies on Mount Everest those 2 years ago, I noticed that I was humming the song, "Dust In The Wind" by Kansas. I knew right then that I had to make a music video using these haunting images, as well as this beautiful song. I would like to dedicate this video to all those whom have perished in their quest to summit the World's Tallest Mountain. Let us never forget that they had names, identities, and most importantly, families and friends who loved and cared about them. They paid the ultimate price for the best chance any mortal on this Earth has to touch Heaven. I have included a disclaimer for the music in this video, at the end of the video. Nevertheless, at the risk of this video being taken down because of legal reasons, I am going to state here: DISCLAIMER: This video was made for Educational Purposes only. "Dust In The Wind" is the property of Kansas, and their respective Publishers/Producers. No money is being made off of this video, and no copy-write infringement is intended. All images were found using a simple Google Search. Thank you very much for watching. Comments are greatly appreciated.- published: 01 Jan 2014

Mt. Everest - Summit Fever and the Last Man (1996)
Despite witnessing the disintegration of his team - the South African expedition, and the carnage of the '96 Storm, Bruce Herrod was dead set on reaching the summit of Mt. Everest. Forced to retreat from top camp during the disaster, Herrod, with teammates Ian Woodall and Cathy O'Dowd were once again poised for a summit push. On summit day Herrod was incredibly slow, many hours behind his team, who topped out in the late morning. After meeting up with them on their way down, Herrod continued on up, the last time he'd ever be seen alive. At 5pm, Herrod radioed basecamp to tell his team he was on the summit and that he was getting ready to begin his descent. He was never heard from again, and being the season's last man on the mountain, his body was not discovered until the following year, hanging upside down, tangled in the ropes of the Hillary Step. He was the 15th and final climber to die during Everest's deadliest year.- published: 20 Jan 2014

Mount Everest Documentary
Mount Everest Documentary
Mount Everest (also known in Nepal as Sagarmatha and in Tibet/China by various romanisations of Chomolungma) is the Earth's highest mountain, located in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas. Its peak is 8,848 metres (29,029 ft) above sea level[1] and the 5th furthest point from the centre of the Earth.[10] The international border between China and Nepal runs across the precise summit point. Its massif includes neighboring peaks Lhotse, 8,516 m (27,940 ft); Nuptse, 7,855 m (25,771 ft) and Changtse, 7,580 m (24,870 ft). In 1856, the Great Trigonometric Survey of India established the first published height of Everest, then known as Peak XV, at 29,002 ft (8,840 m). The current official height of 8,848 m (29,029 ft) as recognized by Nepal and China was established by a 1955 Indian survey and subsequently confirmed by a Chinese survey in 1975. In 1865, Everest was given its official English name by the Royal Geographical Society upon a recommendation by Andrew Waugh, the British Surveyor General of India. Waugh named the mountain after his predecessor in the post, Sir George Everest. Although Tibetans had called Everest "Chomolungma" for centuries, Waugh was unaware of this because Tibet and Nepal were closed to foreigners at the time thus preventing any attempts to obtain local names. Mount Everest attracts many highly experienced mountaineers as well as capable climbers willing to hire professional guides. There are two main climbing routes, one approaching the summit from the southeast in Nepal (known as the standard route) and the other from the north in Tibet. While not posing substantial technical climbing challenges on the standard route, Everest presents dangers such as altitude sickness, weather, wind as well as significant objective hazards from avalanches and the Khumbu Icefall. While the overwhelming majority of climbers will use bottled oxygen in order to reach the top, some climbers have summitted Everest without supplemental oxygen. The first recorded efforts to reach Everest's summit were made by British mountaineers. With Nepal not allowing foreigners into the country at the time, the British made several attempts on the north ridge route from the Tibetan side. After the first reconnaissance expedition by the British in 1921 reached 7,000 m (22,970 ft) on the North Col, the 1922 expedition pushed the North ridge route up to 8,320 m (27,300 ft) marking the first time a human had climbed above 8,000 m (26,247 ft). Tragedy struck on the descent from the North col when seven porters were killed in an avalanche. The 1924 expedition resulted in the greatest mystery on Everest to this day: George Mallory and Andrew Irvine made a final summit attempt on June 8 but never returned, sparking debate as to whether they were the first to reach the top. They had been spotted high on the mountain that day but disappeared in the clouds, never to be seen again until Mallory's body was found in 1999 at 8,155 m (26,755 ft) on the North face. Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary made the first official ascent of Everest in 1953 using the southeast ridge route. Tenzing had reached 8,595 m (28,199 ft) the previous year as a member of the 1952 Swiss expedition.- published: 04 Feb 2014

Mt. Everest - The David Sharp Controversy (2006)
Mt. Everest - The David Sharp Controversy (2006)
While not the deadliest year in Everest's history, 2006 was quite possibly the most controversial. At the center of that controversy was David Sharp, an English climber who died high up on the North Ridge. During his final hours he was passed by more than 40 climbers making their way up to the top of the world. Misunderstandings abound during the ensuing media storm, and the criticism was harsh, with people from all over the world, including Sir Edmund Hillary, weighing in. Could more have been done, and if so, at what cost?- published: 20 Jan 2014
