12 Sherpas dead in Everest avalanche KATHMANDU: At least 12 Nepalese Sherpa guides were killed and seven others missing in an avalanche that struck Mount Everest on Friday morning, making it the single deadliest mountaineering accident on the world's highest peak. A group of about 50 climbers, mostly Sherpas were moving from Camp I to Camp II when a serac fell off the mountain burying them under the snow at an altitude of about 5,900 metres at about 6:30 am. The Sherpas were going up the mountain to fix ropes and set camps higher up the mountain for their fee-paying clients. "The search for the missing will continue Saturday morning," said Dipendra Poudel, a mountaineering official. Another six were injured, two of whom have been brought to Kathmandu for medical treatment. Some foreign climbers were in the group going up the mountain to get acclimatised but they were not among the fatalities. The single deadliest day before this Friday was May 11 1996 when 11 persons, eight on the Nepal side of the mountain and three on the China side in the north were killed in a snow storm at 8,000 metres, an incident made famous in the Jon Krakauer book Into Thin Air. According to Poudel, 334 foreign climbers have been given permission to climb the 8,848 metre world's highest peak in the spring season that lasts till end of May, which is the busiest climb season. About another 400 Sherpa guides accompany these mountaineers. Ethnic Sherpas act as guides for foreign mountaineers. Post a comment - SUBSCRIBE- published: 18 Apr 2014

Mt. Everest - The Storm (1996)
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

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

Mt. Everest - Basecamp: At the Bottom of Things (2011)
Please Note: This video is posted under 'Fair Use' guidelines for its educational value. Everest Basecamp, once a distant campsite seemingly at the far end of civilization, has become a very different place in recent years. Today Everest Basecamp can be overcrowded, sometimes appearing more like a rock festival than a starting point from which to work your way up the world's highest mountain. Many things must be attended to whilst staying at basecamp. Primarily, one must acclimatize to the altitude for their ultimate trip to the summit. Other activities include fraternizing with fellow climbers, and seemingly more now than ever, updating one's blog. Among some of the more morbid things to do is the yearly collection of the random pieces of human remains that are continuously brought forth by the ever-shifting glacial ice. Whatever you do, staying at basecamp and climbing Mt. Everest has only grown in popularity, each year attracting more people than the one before without fail.- published: 03 Mar 2014

Dying for Everest (David Sharp Controversy)
Dying for Everest (David Sharp Controversy)
David Sharp climbed Everest without any support. One man alone against the mountain, and he did it the traditional way. He didn\'t take the safety offered by larger commercial operators and ultimately paid with his life. That same day over 30 other climbers passed David on their way up while he was still alive, now each of them carry with them guilt, attempt saving him by risking their own life\'s as well as given up on their own quests. A story like none other. Man against a mountain which claims over 200 adventurers as its own. On 15 May, 2006, double amputee Mark Inglis reached the summit of Mt Everest. It was a remarkable achievement and Inglis was feted by press and public alike. But only a few days later he was plunged into a storm of controversy when it was learned that he had passed an incapacitated climber, Englishman David Sharp, leaving him to a lonely end high in the Death Zone.

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.

Mt Everest - How it was made [HD]
Mt Everest - How it was made [HD]
Over two hundred fifty million years ago, India, Africa, Australia, and South America were all one continent called Pangea. Over the next several million years, this giant southern continent proceeded to break up, forming the continents we know today. Pangea essentially turned inside out, the edges of the old continent becoming the collision zones of new continents. Africa, South America, and Antarctica began to fragment. What ultimately formed Mt. Everest, about 60 million years ago, was the rapid movement of India northward toward the continent of EuroAsia; Click here for a present-day map of the Indian subcontinent. India charged across the equator at rates of up to 15 cm/year, in the process closing an ocean named Tethys that had separated fragments of Pangea. This ocean is entirely gone today, although the sedimentary rocks that settled on its ocean floor and the volcanoes that fringed its edges remain to tell the tale of its existence.- published: 20 Feb 2014

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

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
