TOURING AUSTRALIA OCTOBER 2014 – Dates and Tickets at www.worldexpeditions.com Tim Macartney-Snape presents '30 Years from the Summit' - the riveting story of the first Australian ascent of Mount Everest. On 3 October 1984, a small group of Australian university students made their indelible mark on the international climbing community by successfully pioneering a new route up the world’s highest mountain, the 8848m Mt Everest. The group climbed without oxygen or porters in semi-alpine style, fast and light, breaking away from the siege style expeditions that had come before them. Almost everything that could go wrong did go wrong and the gripping story has only been told on very few occasions by members of the team, which includes the likes of Tim Macartney-Snape, Greg Mortimer and...
The first Australian ascent of the Great Couloir route on Mt Everest during the Autumn of 1984. On 3 October 1984 Macartney-Snape and Greg Mortimer were the first Australians to reach the summit of Mount Everest. This small Australian team headed to the north side of Mt Everest where they proceeded to prepare to ascend an unclimbed route on the north face climbing without bottled oxygen in a lightweight alpine style and without the help of high altitude porters. They reached the summit, via a new route on the North Face (North Face to Norton Couloir). The Australian Mount Everest Expedition team made headlines around the world. They were the first Australians to reach Everest's summit. Everest historian Walt Unsworth called the feat 'one of the greatest climbs ever done on the ...

Having an idea is one thing but how do you prepare for a trip with a risk of dying being over 50%? What gear to take? How to prepare mentally? What are the most serious difficulties? How to prepare physically while living on the flattest/hottest continent on earth? Where to even begin? Here’s what Tim Macartney-Snape did to prepare himself for a solo expedition to the summit of Mt Everest, a trip you can never really be prepared for anyway.

Review of Jeremy Griffith's book 'FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition' by world famous Everest Mountaineer and biologist Tim Macartney-Snape
The most critical part of a Mt Everest expedition is usually high up near the summit. The possibility of rescue is virtually nil, there is little oxygen, you are on your own, mistakes are unforgiven. Never before - or since had an Everest climber had to first make it past sharks, crocodiles and armed soldiers. Find out how the difficulties started well before the mountain for Tim.
The Franklin River, Tasmania with Tim Macartney-Snape Australia's first Everest summiteer rafting the Franklin with some friends - that's him at the back of the raft in the blue. "As a river running adventure the Franklin is unique, it is totally like no other river - and its not just about the rapids, its the intense feeling of remoteness, the feeling you are far, far down at the bottom of a labyrinth of tangled cliffs and twisted forest. The beauty is extraordinary and ever changing, a must do in the slowest possible way." Want to raft the Franklin River, check these trips out: http://bit.ly/1ze0gyr ------------------ Inspired?

Entrevista a Tim Macartney-Snape, director y fundador de Sea to Summit en el 25 aniversario de la marca. Feria de material OutDoor Friedrichshafen 2015.
The gear you choose and use on a trip like Tim Macartney-Snape’s is crucial. It can make THE difference between life and death.
In this final part of our Sea to Summit flash back we asked Tim a few last questions.
Conditions changed for the worse on the West Ridge making it even more dangerous and now Tim was faced with changing his plan at the last hurdle, a psychologically difficult task when years of focus and vision have been dedicated to the West Ridge. Together with original footage taken by Tim as he struggles up, Tim tells us how difficult the final struggle became. After making it all that way on foot was it time to make a call and turn back?
Finally Base Camp! But already levels of oxygen are half that at sea level and lack of it is causing extreme lethargy and breathlessness. But now you must step up several gears to enter the mountain zone, a zone where danger is everywhere - from without, in the form of avalanche, crevasse and extreme weather and more insidiously from within due to cerebral and pulmonary oedema and you must decide if your route is safe enough.

The term mountaineering describes the sport of mountain climbing, including ski mountaineering. Hiking in the mountains can also becomes a simple form of mountaineering when it involves scrambling, or short stretches of the more basic grades of rock climbing, as well as crossing glaciers. While mountaineering began as attempts to reach the highest point of unclimbed big mountains it has branched into specializations that address different aspects of the mountain and consists of three areas: rock-craft, snow-craft and skiing, depending on whether the route chosen is over rock, snow or ice. All require experience, athletic ability, and technical knowledge to maintain safety. This video is targeted to blind users.
