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.

Mt. Everest - The David Sharp Controversy (2006)

Updated: 20 Jan 2014

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?

Bodies on Mt Everest

Updated: 01 Jan 2014

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.

Mount Everest Full HD Documentary Mount Everest Full HD Documentary Mount Everest Full HD Documentary Mount Everest (Mountain),Wilderness (Quotation Subject),Sagarmatha,Chomolungma,Earth's highest mountain,848,Mahalangur,Himalayas,the centre of the Earth Mount Everest (also known in Nepal as Sagarmatha and in Tibet as Chomolungma) is the Earth's highest mountain. It is located in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas. Its peak is 8,848 metres (29,029 ft) above sea level[1] and is the 5th furthest point from the centre of the Earth.[6] 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.

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

Updated: 20 Jan 2014

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.

Updated: 14 Mar 2014

This documentary focuses on the cognitive impairment that high-altitude mountaineers suffer whilst starving their bodies of oxygen during their acclimatization and final push to the summit. Keep in mind that the 'subjects' of this experiment are not just two ordinary climbers, rather they are Ed Viesturs and David Breashears, two of the greatest high-altitude, 'Fair Means' climbers of all time. In addition to being born with the right genes for making their 'Death Zone' escapades even possible, both men take physical conditioning VERY seriously, before, during, and after the climb, 365 days a year. Still, watch how their minds, dulled by the soaring altitude and total exhaustion, struggle with a series of seemingly simple exercises. If this is how hard the all-around Everest atmosphere hits these demigods of the climbing world, can you even imagine how one of us mere mortals would do up there?

Remembering Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay's Climb Up to the Top Everest Sixty years ago New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay made it to the top of the world. They reached the summit of Mount Everest — some 29,000 feet up — at 11:30 in the morning on May 29th, 1953. They came down the mountain heroes though Hillary spoke about their feat modestly. In an interview with his brother Rex, he described the last big obstacle he overcame on his way to the top. "I was a bit worried about it at first but fortunately there was a crack between the ice and the rock," Hillary told his brother, "I got into this and I was able to wiggle my way up it." That crack is now called the Hillary Step. Hillary placed a cross at the peak to commemorate the moment while Norgay left an offering of chocolates in the snow. While Hillary claimed that he and Norgay reached the summit together, Norgay claimed Hillary was up there first. However it happened, the men remained lifelong friends. Sir Edmund Hillary died in 2008 at the age of 88. Tenzing Norgay was 71 when he passed away back in 1986.

Everest Avalanche 12 Dead in Deadliest Avalanche Ever on Mount Everest An avalanche swept down a climbing route on Mount Everest early Friday, killing at least 12 Nepalese guides and leaving four missing in the deadliest disaster on the world's highest peak. The Sherpa guides had gone early in the morning to fix ropes for other climbers when the avalanche hit them at about 6:30 a.m., Nepal Tourism Ministry official Krishna Lamsal said from the base camp where he is monitoring rescue efforts. An injured survivor told his relatives that the path up the mountain was unstable just before the avalanche. As soon as the avalanche hit, rescuers and climbers rushed to help. Rescue workers pulled out 12 bodies from under mounds of snow and ice and were searching for the four missing guides, Lamsal said. Officials had earlier said three were missing. The avalanche hit an area nicknamed the "popcorn field" for its bulging chucks of ice and is just below Camp 2, Ang Tshering of the Nepal Mountaineering Association said. Camp 2 sits at an elevation of 6,400 meters (21,000 feet) on the 8,850-meter (29,035-foot) mountain. Survivor Dawa Tashi was airlifted to Katmandu and was lying in the intensive care unit at Grande Hospital in Katmandu. Doctors said he suffered several broken ribs and would be in the hospital for a few days. Tashi told his visiting relatives that the Sherpa guides woke up early and were on their way to fix ropes to the higher camps but were delayed because of the unsteady path. Suddenly the avalanche fell on the group and buried many of them, according to Tashi's sister-in-law Dawa Yanju. Hundreds of climbers, guides and support crews are at Everest's base camp preparing to climb to the summit when weather conditions will be at their most favorable early next month. They have been setting up camps at higher altitudes, and guides have been fixing routes and ropes on the slopes above. The Sherpa people are one of the main ethnic groups in Nepal's alpine region, and many make their living as climbing guides on Everest and other Himalayan peaks. More than 4,000 climbers have summited Everest since 1953, when it was first conquered by New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. Hundreds have died attempting to reach the peak. Mount Everest Avalanche The worst recorded disaster on Everest had been a snowstorm on May 11, 1996, that caused the deaths of eight climbers. Six Nepalese guides were killed in an avalanche in 1970. Mount Everest Avalanche Earlier this year, Nepal announced several steps to better manage the heavy flow of climbers and speed up rescue operations. The steps included the dispatch of officials and security personnel to the base camp at 5,300 meters (17,380 feet), where they will stay throughout the spring climbing season that ends in May.
