Mt. Everest - The Storm (1996)

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.

The Wildest Dream is a 2010 theatrical-release feature documentary film about the British climber George Mallory who disappeared on Mount Everest in 1924 with his climbing partner Andrew Irvine. The film interweaves two stories, one about climber Conrad Anker (who discovered Mallory's body lying on Everest in 1999) returning to Everest to investigate Mallory's disappearance and the other a biography of Mallory told through letters, original film footage from the 1920s and archival photos.

Everest - The Death Zone

Everest - The Death Zone Get ready for a (literally) breathtaking trek up Mt. Everest, from Base Camp at 17,600 feet; through the chilling, corpse-strewn Death Zone; to the very pinnacle of the the Earth, five and a half miles above sea level. For those brave souls who survive the harrowing climb to the top of the world, it is a transformative experience. But can the excruciating ascent—through frigid cold, blasting wind, blinding sun, and severe lack of oxygen—cause permanent, damaging changes to the human brain and body? In the wake of the 1996 disaster that took eight climbers in a single day, scientists follow a team of hikers to measure, for the first time ever, the toll high-altitude climbing takes on the heart, lungs, blood, and brain. Why do seemingly rational people make poor, sometimes fatal decisions as they approach the peak? And the danger doesn't end there—during the descent, when one climber's respiratory illness takes a terrifying turn on the isolated mountainside. ''Even with the best technology, the best training,'' says team member, producer and director David Breashears, ''you can still end up frozen to death at 27,500 feet. That's what makes Everest Everest.

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?

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.

Endeavour: Everest - 2. Without Oxygen

Updated: 02 Feb 2014

In 1978, Italian and Austrian mountaineers Reinhold Messner and Peter Habeler made mountaineering history, becoming the first climbers to reach the summit of Mount Everest without the use of additional oxygen. Known as the death zone, above 8,000 metres in the Himalayas there is only a fraction of the oxygen at sea-level. Climbers suffer sickness and headaches and risk life-threatening oedemas. As they struggled up the route through the Khumbu icefall into the Western Cwm, then up to the South Col and summit, Messner and Habeler faced all these dangers and more. Award-winning filmmaker Leo Dickinson followed them through it all and his classic film is the real-life record of their ascent.

Updated: 14 Nov 2013

Every year, over a thousand climbers try to reach the summit of Mount Everest, with the annual record for successful attempts currently standing at 633. But of that number, nearly half were Sherpas - the mountain's unsung heroes. Yet the Sherpa community has remained secretive about their nation, culture and experiences living in the shadow of the world's highest mountain. Now, for the first time, they open the door into their world. Without the expertise of the Sherpas, only the hardiest and most skilful climbers would succeed. Every day they risk their lives for the safety of others, yet they seek neither glory nor reward, preferring to stay in the background. Following the stories of four such Sherpas - Phurba, Ngima, Ngima Tenji and Gelu - this film reveals the reality of their daily lives, not just up the mountain, but with their families after they return home. Also called The Sherpas' Quest.

Updated: 14 Aug 2013

As of mid-2011, Mount Everest has claimed the lives of over 216 known mountain climbers. The area above 26,000 feet is called "the Death Zone", where breathing fresh oxygen from canisters is necessary for all but the most experienced climbers. The atmospheric pressure is about a third of that at sea level, meaning there is about one third the amount of oxygen to breathe. The air is so thin recovery of bodies has proven impossible. Given this, many victims lay where they took their last breath. i dont own the pictures in this compilation, message me and il remove and delete the video.

La fièvre de l'Everest

La fièvre de l'Everest Film documentaire de Lars Nilssen Norvège, 2007, 52min Après avoir dévalé le plus haut sommet andin, l'Aconcagua, qui culmine à 6 962 mètres, Tormod Granheim et Tomas Olsson s'étaient fixé un nouveau défi : descendre à skis le versant nord de l'Everest, haut de 8 848 mètres. Après une période d'acclimatation au camp de base, les deux skieurs de l'extrême se sont lancés dans l'ascension du mythique sommet himalayen, escaladant des arêtes escarpées avant de gagner la "zone de la mort", au-delà de 8 000 mètres d'altitude, où l'oxygène se raréfie dangereusement. Une fois le sommet atteint, ils ont chaussé les skis et se sont lancés sur des pentes verglacées à 55 degrés. La prouesse, inédite, exigeait une excellente condition physique, une grande technicité et un mental d'acier. Bien que minutieusement préparée, l'aventure a coûté la vie à Tomas Olsson. Son coéquipier relate avec sobriété leur périlleuse entreprise. Les images tournées par les deux sportifs, grâce à de petites caméras fixées à leurs lunettes, nous font vivre leur exploit au plus près. Le témoignage de Tormod Granheim nous fait entrevoir la fascination irrépressible qu'exerce la haute montagne, la passion qu'elle inspire à ceux qui s'y hasardent -- au prix, parfois, de leur vie.

In 2006, Lincoln Hall, an experienced climber, found himself half frozen, alone, high up on the North Ridge of Mt. Everest. Earlier he had summited with his Sherpa teammates, but on their way down, somewhere near the infamous Second Step, Lincoln was hit with the rapid onset of AMS and HACE - High Altitude Cerebral Edema. Hours after finding himself alone, for Lincoln had been left, reluctantly, by his climbing Sherpa; he was near death. So sure of his fate, the expedition leader phoned Lincoln's wife, at home in Australia, to tell her that her husband was dead. Lincoln was not dead, and what would follow would be an amazing story about survival and compassion, when another team, lead by Dan Mazur, would sacrifice their summit dreams to help a dying climber, desperately in need.

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
