amateur climbers to challenge the

actually killing themselves the risk
22
00:00:54,989 --> 00:00:58,800

everest base camp their first challenge
48
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:25,190
is a 14-mile two-day Trek to reach
49
00:02:20,959 --> 00:02:29,920
advanced base camp a freezing Waystation
50
00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:29,920
clinging to the mountain at 21,000 feet
51
00:02:30,430 --> 00:02:35,060
they must prove themselves here before
52
00:02:33,410 --> 00:02:42,130
they can take on the technical climbs
53
00:02:35,060 --> 00:02:45,530
higher up ain't gonna get easier ha
54
00:02:42,130 --> 00:02:48,380
unhealthy air la journalist Betsy
55
00:02:45,530 --> 00:02:49,760
Huelskamp decided to climb Everest after
56
00:02:48,380 --> 00:02:52,480
interviewing one of the climbers from
57
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,480
last year
58
00:02:53,150 --> 00:02:57,170
somehow during that interview I it sort
59
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,939
of changed courses of me wanting to
60
00:02:57,170 --> 00:03:01,459
interview Tim Timmy wanting to bill on
61
00:02:58,939 --> 00:03:05,120
his expedition but Betsy hasn't climbed
62
00:03:01,459 --> 00:03:07,849
a mountain in 10 years an apprentice
63
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:10,930
that I did I only did 20,000 feet this
64
00:03:07,849 --> 00:03:14,890
is another 10,000 feet higher and
65
00:03:10,930 --> 00:03:14,890
nothing quite like this
66
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,409
the highest mountain in the world and
67
00:03:17,659 --> 00:03:20,409
we're going there
68
00:03:21,660 --> 00:03:27,270
on the summit of Everest the climbers
69
00:03:25,380 --> 00:03:29,780
will be at the cruising altitude of a
70
00:03:27,270 --> 00:03:29,780
jetliner
71
00:03:30,790 --> 00:03:37,160
good minus 40 degrees with too little
72
00:03:33,980 --> 00:03:43,520
oxygen in the air to sustain life it's a
73
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:45,680
deadly challenge Tim medvetz a biker
74
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:53,750
from Hollywood almost died trying to
75
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:59,800
summit Everest last year it's my second
76
00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:59,800
time coming up so came close last year
77
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:10,560
it's climber died died the night I went
78
00:04:07,470 --> 00:04:14,870
up there it's good reminder that one
79
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,870
small mistake start
80
00:04:16,790 --> 00:04:23,040
Tim failed to reach the summit now he's
81
00:04:20,610 --> 00:04:25,050
back to prove he can do it hopefully
82
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:33,210
I'll come to this one will be standing
83
00:04:25,050 --> 00:04:34,830
on top of top of the world but the first
84
00:04:33,210 --> 00:04:38,550
challenge of reaching advanced base camp
85
00:04:34,830 --> 00:04:44,280
for ABC is especially difficult for the
86
00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:47,160
big biker no I'm facecam to ABC it's
87
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:51,600
just uh really puts a beating on my uh
88
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:54,330
my foot my ankle my heel my knee after a
89
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:59,580
near fatal bike crash Tim's body is held
90
00:04:54,330 --> 00:05:02,670
together by metal pins salt boulders and
91
00:04:59,580 --> 00:05:03,900
rocks and it just throws my foot to the
92
00:05:02,670 --> 00:05:06,630
left and to the right and I don't have
93
00:05:03,900 --> 00:05:10,070
any lateral motion he's 14 miles just uh
94
00:05:06,630 --> 00:05:10,070
really kills me
95
00:05:11,980 --> 00:05:16,680
a truckload of determination has gotten
96
00:05:14,290 --> 00:05:16,680
them this far
97
00:05:17,849 --> 00:05:22,219
but only one in three climbers will make
98
00:05:19,679 --> 00:05:22,219
this summit
99
00:05:26,099 --> 00:05:40,139
Rosalie's they've signed up with
100
00:05:31,479 --> 00:05:43,210
expedition leader Russell Brice keywords
101
00:05:40,139 --> 00:05:45,460
we don't know the psychology of these
102
00:05:43,210 --> 00:05:48,430
people how they're going to react under
103
00:05:45,460 --> 00:05:51,249
stress of course it's not safe and
104
00:05:48,430 --> 00:05:54,249
cautious dangerous a 20-year Everest
105
00:05:51,249 --> 00:05:57,729
veteran Tim Russell's taking 166
106
00:05:54,249 --> 00:06:01,689
climbers to the top he decides who's fit
107
00:05:57,729 --> 00:06:05,770
for the summit yeah any point he can
108
00:06:01,689 --> 00:06:08,830
kick any climber off the expedition well
109
00:06:05,770 --> 00:06:12,189
it's my challenge in my job to try and
110
00:06:08,830 --> 00:06:15,060
let them go as far as they can without
111
00:06:12,189 --> 00:06:15,060
making themselves
112
00:06:16,879 --> 00:06:24,599
each step they take the air gets thinner
113
00:06:20,389 --> 00:06:30,419
here so focus on tisn't walking altitude
114
00:06:24,599 --> 00:06:32,400
sickness is a constant danger the amount
115
00:06:30,419 --> 00:06:34,979
of oxygen that we inhale with each
116
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:37,310
inhalation is less than it is at sea
117
00:06:34,979 --> 00:06:37,310
level
118
00:06:38,090 --> 00:06:42,850
essentially we're getting less oxygen
119
00:06:39,740 --> 00:06:42,850
with each breath
120
00:06:45,070 --> 00:06:51,020
if someone has a headache a nauseating
121
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:53,060
they're vomiting
122
00:06:51,020 --> 00:06:56,889
then we need to send them down to the
123
00:06:53,060 --> 00:06:56,889
attitude at which they were last well
124
00:06:58,629 --> 00:07:05,240
during advanced base camp Betsy is just
125
00:07:02,060 --> 00:07:08,330
one sixth of the way to the summit these
126
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:10,069
poor things I hope that I'm a good
127
00:07:08,330 --> 00:07:13,960
enough person in this lifetime to never
128
00:07:10,069 --> 00:07:13,960
come back as a yak because it looks like
129
00:07:23,919 --> 00:07:32,270

00:07:27,380 --> 00:07:34,250

00:09:22,149 --> 00:09:28,320
and nausea as they struggle to adjust to
162
00:09:24,790 --> 00:09:28,320

juggler this this year expedition leader
165
00:09:41,260 --> 00:09:46,140
Russell turns his attention to his
166
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,140
climbing Sherpas
167
00:09:48,550 --> 00:09:53,830
already high on the mountain they're
168
00:09:50,830 --> 00:09:56,730
breaking trail and setting the route the
169
00:09:53,830 --> 00:09:56,730
climbers will follow
170
00:10:00,389 --> 00:10:06,730
it's the Sherpas job to fix three miles
171
00:10:03,579 --> 00:10:16,060
of safety ropes all the way to the
172
00:10:06,730 --> 00:10:21,220
summit every hundred yards the Rope must
173
00:10:16,060 --> 00:10:26,800
be tied to the man it's the first and
174
00:10:21,220 --> 00:10:28,990
most dangerous climb of the season at
175
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,480
advanced base camp Russell watches their
176
00:10:28,990 --> 00:10:34,769
back keeping a close eye on the
177
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,769
treacherous weather patterns
178
00:10:35,350 --> 00:10:42,640
it was vicious here it's terrible
179
00:10:40,030 --> 00:10:44,310
yeah it's tense time you're wondering
180
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,530
whether everything's in the right place
181
00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:49,570
everything's going to happen correctly
182
00:10:46,530 --> 00:10:51,580
this is not a place that you can make it
183
00:10:49,570 --> 00:10:53,820
a mistake with the decisions too many
184
00:10:51,580 --> 00:10:53,820
times
185
00:10:54,990 --> 00:10:57,050
you
186
00:10:57,870 --> 00:11:02,570
after adjusting to the high altitude the
187
00:11:00,570 --> 00:11:07,560
climbers face their next big challenge
188
00:11:02,570 --> 00:11:10,110
proving they can climb on ice big boss
189
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:14,760
wants to see everybody their equipment
190
00:11:10,110 --> 00:11:18,380
on what's a good thing is uh sure got
191
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,380
some experience people with us this year
192
00:11:24,230 --> 00:11:39,200
leave that alone Betsy it's not working
193
00:11:30,740 --> 00:11:43,100
for me on Everest the climbing came are
194
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:44,930
being tested on a 30-foot ice wall
195
00:11:43,100 --> 00:11:46,610
they must prove they've got the skill
196
00:11:44,930 --> 00:11:50,260
and technique to take on the tough
197
00:11:46,610 --> 00:11:50,260
climbs higher up manda
198
00:11:50,410 --> 00:11:55,329
what Russell will kick them off the
199
00:11:52,329 --> 00:11:58,509
sauna team first thing you need to move
200
00:11:55,329 --> 00:11:59,860
is that so you're still clip done then
201
00:11:58,509 --> 00:12:03,339
you can release this and move that one
202
00:11:59,860 --> 00:12:06,310
again at extreme altitude the brain is
203
00:12:03,339 --> 00:12:08,319
slowed by the lack of oxygen using their
204
00:12:06,310 --> 00:12:10,050
climbing equipment there must be second
205
00:12:08,319 --> 00:12:15,230
nature
206
00:12:10,050 --> 00:12:15,230
lessons on the mountain his speed
207
00:12:17,420 --> 00:12:25,230
today's practice climb is a mere 30 feet
208
00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:27,000
of vertical ice get it on him but
209
00:12:25,230 --> 00:12:29,579
standing between the climbers and the
210
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:33,870
summit of their dreams is a thousand
211
00:12:29,579 --> 00:12:38,279
feet of ice to the North call and if
212
00:12:33,870 --> 00:12:42,740
they survive that at 28,000 300 feet the
213
00:12:38,279 --> 00:12:42,740
notorious cliffs of the semi step
214
00:12:43,340 --> 00:12:48,020
strength endurance and good technique
215
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:53,690
with ice climbing gear and ropes is
216
00:12:48,020 --> 00:12:57,170
essential but Betsy's forgotten how to
217
00:12:53,690 --> 00:12:59,210
use her equipment you walking with her
218
00:12:57,170 --> 00:13:01,130
let's go straight up that ice cube and
219
00:12:59,210 --> 00:13:03,700
you know okay I can do that I can do
220
00:13:01,130 --> 00:13:03,700
that somehow
221
00:13:07,370 --> 00:13:12,480
leave that alone Betsy it's the guys job
222
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:16,050
to make sure everyone on Russell's team
223
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:17,760
knows exactly what they're doing we
224
00:13:16,050 --> 00:13:21,380

myself then 100 men I really do you
237
00:14:12,339 --> 00:14:16,360
write this match on the mountain you got
238
00:14:13,930 --> 00:14:18,810
summer I have as good a chance as
239
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:22,899
anybody I'll ignitee are a bit slower
240
00:14:18,810 --> 00:14:26,680
but you know where it is I'm doing it my
241
00:14:22,899 --> 00:14:31,300
best shot on Everest that's his best
242
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:33,850
shot may not be good enough yeah few
243
00:14:31,300 --> 00:14:36,550
months bit see what's little bit
244
00:14:33,850 --> 00:14:39,790
surprised um little mountaineering you
245
00:14:36,550 --> 00:14:42,220
have because you told me that you had
246
00:14:39,790 --> 00:14:44,800
more money experience it's not easy for
247
00:14:42,220 --> 00:14:46,990
us to inside now leave us to teach you
248
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:49,569
how to climb I expect people to the
249
00:14:46,990 --> 00:14:51,759
elder time by themselves and you clearly
250
00:14:49,569 --> 00:14:53,740
don't have that ability I'll give you
251
00:14:51,759 --> 00:14:55,970
one day's instruction on how to use
252
00:14:53,740 --> 00:14:58,730
crampons and then
253
00:14:55,970 --> 00:15:00,529
we're gonna see how you perform learning
254
00:14:58,730 --> 00:15:02,569
climbing Mount Everest up to the right
255
00:15:00,529 --> 00:15:07,279
place to be so let's hope you're
256
00:15:02,569 --> 00:15:09,740
progressing burnfoot them okay yes I do
257
00:15:07,279 --> 00:15:12,050
feel like you know I I'm a really fast
258
00:15:09,740 --> 00:15:13,819
learner and I understand why people
259
00:15:12,050 --> 00:15:16,430
think this is the wrong place to learn I
260
00:15:13,819 --> 00:15:19,129
do understand that I certainly don't
261
00:15:16,430 --> 00:15:22,279
want to put other people at risk so
262
00:15:19,129 --> 00:15:24,019
that's the part that no I don't want
263
00:15:22,279 --> 00:15:27,769
anybody to feel like I'm endangering
264
00:15:24,019 --> 00:15:36,009
them well myself I don't want to get
265
00:15:27,769 --> 00:15:36,009
hurt you know
266
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:45,790
big Tim medvetz has plenty of strength
267
00:15:42,190 --> 00:15:49,720
yeah but the guides are concerned about
268
00:15:45,790 --> 00:15:51,190
his technique you can kill yourself if
269
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,050
you're pulling yourself up on it okay
270
00:15:51,190 --> 00:15:56,620
would I understand that but because of
271
00:15:53,050 --> 00:15:58,030
my foot get my back my knee I use
272
00:15:56,620 --> 00:15:59,800
actually use my two more in the fixed
273
00:15:58,030 --> 00:16:02,290
line to balance a little bit when I get
274
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,510
onto some rien arrow traversals open
275
00:16:02,290 --> 00:16:06,820
that's a psyche line it's not a holding
276
00:16:04,510 --> 00:16:09,360
line you know I'm gonna borrow my body
277
00:16:06,820 --> 00:16:09,360
for a couple days
278
00:16:11,690 --> 00:16:18,850
Tim's a likable guy but he's but full of
279
00:16:14,630 --> 00:16:22,130
himself and his big man so I think he go
280
00:16:18,850 --> 00:16:25,580
he's been ninety percent of the way last
281
00:16:22,130 --> 00:16:27,290
year if he left on time I suspect that
282
00:16:25,580 --> 00:16:31,190
he would have reached the summer along
283
00:16:27,290 --> 00:16:36,560
with everyone else Tim knows more than
284
00:16:31,190 --> 00:16:38,660
most how dangerous Everest can be last
285
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:41,330
year he fought his way to within yards
286
00:16:38,660 --> 00:16:43,940
of the summit but climbing too slowly
287
00:16:41,330 --> 00:16:48,830
and running low on oxygen Russell
288
00:16:43,940 --> 00:16:51,380
ordered him to turn around turn around
289
00:16:48,830 --> 00:16:54,380
now and use this valuable time to get
290
00:16:51,380 --> 00:16:57,290
back down safely he will sign a contract
291
00:16:54,380 --> 00:16:59,360
with me they agree that if I tell them
292
00:16:57,290 --> 00:17:02,150
by radio to turn around that they are
293
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:04,819
going to do it just 400 feet from the
294
00:17:02,150 --> 00:17:08,390
summit of his dreams Tim did not agree
295
00:17:04,819 --> 00:17:11,870
it was dead how much time to have left
296
00:17:08,390 --> 00:17:14,360
an auction you're standing right beside
297
00:17:11,870 --> 00:17:19,000
a dead body for a man who didn't turn
298
00:17:14,360 --> 00:17:19,000
around please turn around and come back
299
00:17:20,970 --> 00:17:26,670
suffering from some achiever Tim refused
300
00:17:23,890 --> 00:17:26,670
to turn around
301
00:17:27,569 --> 00:17:31,799
give me upper back you can't climb a
302
00:17:30,090 --> 00:17:33,840
mountain on your hands and knees now
303
00:17:31,799 --> 00:17:36,600
turn around I hope I you're letting me
304
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:41,279
know I told you a long part of your
305
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:45,980
learning to come down now you can't let
306
00:17:41,279 --> 00:17:45,980
our summit so good afternoon
307
00:17:48,639 --> 00:17:57,139
ok Tim I'm gonna take my Sherpas home
308
00:17:51,649 --> 00:18:01,179
you can be by yourself eventually 300
309
00:17:57,139 --> 00:18:01,179
feet from the summit he turned around
310
00:18:03,370 --> 00:18:10,879
this year he's promised Russell he'll
311
00:18:06,169 --> 00:18:12,559
obey orders yeah I let him back and hope
312
00:18:10,879 --> 00:18:23,289
that he's learnt something from last
313
00:18:12,559 --> 00:18:23,289
year but I'm not sure he has actually to
314
00:18:27,159 --> 00:18:32,090
25,000 feet up the expedition Sherpas
315
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:35,110
are forging the new route the climbers
316
00:18:32,090 --> 00:18:35,110
will follow to the summit
317
00:18:37,450 --> 00:18:45,170
their ability and skills at high
318
00:18:39,710 --> 00:18:47,780
altitude are unsurpassed each of these
319
00:18:45,170 --> 00:18:51,110
guys has graduated from kitchen boy to
320
00:18:47,780 --> 00:18:53,480
porter to climb in Shura and hoping the
321
00:18:51,110 --> 00:18:55,720
mountain is the toughest task they take
322
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,720
on
323
00:19:02,950 --> 00:19:07,270
the ropes have been left there from one
324
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,880
year to another that beaten around by
325
00:19:07,270 --> 00:19:11,680
the wind and bashed against the rocks we
326
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:14,650
don't know what sort of strength it has
327
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:17,110
the following year we're trying to chop
328
00:19:14,650 --> 00:19:20,370
away the old road and change the tapes
329
00:19:17,110 --> 00:19:20,370
to the pitons a song
330
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:26,870
anyone that's climbing at this altitude
331
00:19:24,530 --> 00:19:28,910
and working at this altitude is in
332
00:19:26,870 --> 00:19:31,340
danger and I'm very very worried these
333
00:19:28,910 --> 00:19:33,890
days that the shippers are there Russell
334
00:19:31,340 --> 00:19:36,620
has calculated if the weather holds the
335
00:19:33,890 --> 00:19:45,230
Sherpas could be on their way to the
336
00:19:36,620 --> 00:19:47,630
earliest summit on record for vertical
337
00:19:45,230 --> 00:19:50,000
miles above sea level the team hang in
338
00:19:47,630 --> 00:19:52,580
suspense is their bodies adjust to the
339
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,380
thin air they're forcing their hearts
340
00:19:52,580 --> 00:20:00,400
and lungs to cope with just half the
341
00:19:54,380 --> 00:20:02,870
oxygen they're used to if all goes well
342
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:05,630
their bodies will produce extra red
343
00:20:02,870 --> 00:20:09,110
blood cells to absorb more oxygen per
344
00:20:05,630 --> 00:20:12,500
breath but before they can climb higher
345
00:20:09,110 --> 00:20:17,240
they must get past expedition dr. monica
346
00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:19,490
perez r ABC is at six thousand four
347
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:22,580
hundred meters it's a harsh environment
348
00:20:19,490 --> 00:20:24,560
a specialist in high-altitude medicine
349
00:20:22,580 --> 00:20:27,990
she knows the dangers of going further
350
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:31,170
without a'kla mating properly
351
00:20:27,990 --> 00:20:35,030
yes you'd initially feel short of breath
352
00:20:31,170 --> 00:20:37,350
and then your brain would start to swell
353
00:20:35,030 --> 00:20:39,480
your legs would probably start to fill
354
00:20:37,350 --> 00:20:41,730
with fluid you'd lose consciousness and
355
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,890
you die have you got any past medical la

00:21:12,420 --> 00:21:15,870
market is another way of saying fuck he
368
00:21:14,220 --> 00:21:19,770
knows when did you last why you sir that
369
00:21:15,870 --> 00:21:21,420
was 12 years ago why don't you want to
370
00:21:19,770 --> 00:21:25,980
wear a thong I don't do it because it's
371
00:21:21,420 --> 00:21:27,750
too relative powers use the mirror but
372
00:21:25,980 --> 00:21:34,050
moan suffers from exercise-induced
373
00:21:27,750 --> 00:21:37,500
asthma dr. monica is concerned he's
374
00:21:34,050 --> 00:21:40,710
already failed to summit three times how
375
00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:42,809
have you felt you last night not if its
376
00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:44,460
cold as it works I don't know if you

hospital
379
00:21:45,309 --> 00:21:49,570
nobody intensive care unit available and
380
00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:51,490
how bad is your ass when your own um
381
00:21:49,570 --> 00:21:54,009
well I take my medicine like you know
382
00:21:51,490 --> 00:21:56,860
that's I'm saying which is how you take
383
00:21:54,009 --> 00:21:58,629
seretide can't use a salvage no cuz
384
00:21:56,860 --> 00:21:59,740
you've been here before and you for I'm
385
00:21:58,629 --> 00:22:01,120
just trying to get a feel for whether or
386
00:21:59,740 --> 00:22:04,629
not you think they should smoke plays a
387
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:06,580
part in your performance not only does
388
00:22:04,629 --> 00:22:09,820
he want to prove an asthmatic and climb
389
00:22:06,580 --> 00:22:12,600
Everest moans wants to do it without
390
00:22:09,820 --> 00:22:12,600
bottled oxygen
391
00:22:13,410 --> 00:22:18,660
you're planning on summertime without
392
00:22:16,060 --> 00:22:18,660
yes
393
00:22:20,110 --> 00:22:25,090
our body needs oxygen to survive but
394
00:22:22,900 --> 00:22:27,270
there's not enough oxygen cells die we
395
00:22:25,090 --> 00:22:27,270
die
396
00:22:28,610 --> 00:22:33,110
and you've climbed eight-thousanders
397
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:37,520
before hungry yes respite week just
398
00:22:33,110 --> 00:22:40,190
under it Five Year with her nose trying
399
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:44,870
to summit last year moans pushed himself
400
00:22:40,190 --> 00:22:49,450
to the limit one hour out of camp bang
401
00:22:44,870 --> 00:22:49,450
I'm hit by what's up like life you know
402
00:22:51,270 --> 00:22:57,120
someone being strong the other minute I
403
00:22:54,660 --> 00:23:01,410
was feeling for my life you know almost
404
00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:06,540
fainting feeling ataxic vomiting and
405
00:23:01,410 --> 00:23:09,440
having blurry vision moans managed to
406
00:23:06,540 --> 00:23:12,510
climb down and reach life-saving oxygen
407
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:16,980
and then the next Minister is like I'm
408
00:23:12,510 --> 00:23:19,290
gonna die here oh so scared yeah look
409
00:23:16,980 --> 00:23:22,320
before he left the mountain last year he
410
00:23:19,290 --> 00:23:24,000
made a vow I am fine enough to do it
411
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:30,210
without oxygen I know mentally and
412
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:32,730
physically for sure people can do it you
413
00:23:30,210 --> 00:23:36,160
know people have done it and I respect
414
00:23:32,730 --> 00:23:38,740
it immensely but it's dangerous
415
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:44,380
it's absolutely crazy much more ID to
416
00:23:38,740 --> 00:23:47,350
die good stuff having East his medical
417
00:23:44,380 --> 00:23:49,800
he has one more chance or at his crazy
418
00:23:47,350 --> 00:23:49,800
dream
419
00:23:50,190 --> 00:24:00,100
like moans victim's body could hold him
420
00:23:53,590 --> 00:24:05,200
back and he's no lightweight you're
421
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:09,309
gonna break my scales I 120 kilos happy
422
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:11,110
right hey can 120 kilos we bought much
423
00:24:09,309 --> 00:24:12,460
more muscle than you had last year yeah
424
00:24:11,110 --> 00:24:14,499
muscle weighs a hell of a lot more than
425
00:24:12,460 --> 00:24:18,639
fat I just gonna go for the record
426
00:24:14,499 --> 00:24:21,879
biggest guy in summit evers he's got
427
00:24:18,639 --> 00:24:24,159
more bulk to move up that mountain as
428
00:24:21,879 --> 00:24:26,379
I've got a lot of bulk so he's probably
429
00:24:24,159 --> 00:24:27,970
not a very efficient machine at high
430
00:24:26,379 --> 00:24:31,090
altitude and a high-altitude efficiency
431
00:24:27,970 --> 00:24:34,380
is a big thing if you look at the local
432
00:24:31,090 --> 00:24:42,250
high altitude people Sherpas or Tibetans
433
00:24:34,380 --> 00:24:46,480
they don't land on Everest only the
434
00:24:42,250 --> 00:24:49,240
fittest can survive born and bred at
435
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:51,970
extreme altitude the Sherpas have larger
436
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:55,480
hearts and lungs to absorb more oxygen
437
00:24:51,970 --> 00:24:58,090
per breath thicker blood and whiter
438
00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:01,390
arteries transports the oxygen to their
439
00:24:58,090 --> 00:25:08,980
muscles and brains they are designed for
440
00:25:01,390 --> 00:25:11,020
high altitude breathe they are at 26,000
441
00:25:08,980 --> 00:25:13,750
feet the Sherpas are blazing the trail
442
00:25:11,020 --> 00:25:17,910
to the summit
443
00:25:13,750 --> 00:25:20,650
first on the mountain it's a deadly job
444
00:25:17,910 --> 00:25:23,200
but in just four months they can make
445
00:25:20,650 --> 00:25:27,460
more than the average nepali earns in a
446
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:31,030
lifetime like many people but the police
447
00:25:27,460 --> 00:25:34,030
he put all rope yeah and then around you
448
00:25:31,030 --> 00:25:36,310
know but up high at first yeah after
449
00:25:34,030 --> 00:25:39,100
topshop is earning good money someone
450
00:25:36,310 --> 00:25:41,730
like paupers of anemia up to eighteen
451
00:25:39,100 --> 00:25:41,730
thousand dollars
452
00:25:42,490 --> 00:25:47,770
if Russell's head Sherpa phurba makes it
453
00:25:45,429 --> 00:25:50,820
to the top of this time it will be his
454
00:25:47,770 --> 00:25:50,820
tenth summit
455
00:25:56,050 --> 00:26:02,380
the expedition Sherpas are on target for
456
00:25:59,180 --> 00:26:05,630
the earliest ever summit of Everest
457
00:26:02,380 --> 00:26:09,010
passing 26,000 feet they're entering
458
00:26:05,630 --> 00:26:09,010
what's known as the Death Zone
459
00:26:11,180 --> 00:26:17,030
up here the air has so little oxygen the
460
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:21,250
body burns its own muscle to survive and
461
00:26:17,030 --> 00:26:21,250
the brain starts to crash
462
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:26,920
at the summit they face temperatures of
463
00:26:23,590 --> 00:26:29,470
minus 40 degrees freezing exposed flesh
464
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:32,050
in less than a minute if they use up
465
00:26:29,470 --> 00:26:35,110
their bottled oxygen too soon they may
466
00:26:32,050 --> 00:26:43,420
not make it down alive
467
00:26:35,110 --> 00:26:45,520
how many of you I'm 84 seems like a good
468
00:26:43,420 --> 00:26:50,830
day or all those and there in the shade
469
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:55,420
they're still warm so I'm a good chance
470
00:26:50,830 --> 00:26:57,870
to try to get the song the Sherpas are
471
00:26:55,420 --> 00:27:00,970
at the cruising altitude of a jetliner
472
00:26:57,870 --> 00:27:03,390
and are awaiting the order to push for
473
00:27:00,970 --> 00:27:03,390
the summit
474
00:27:10,659 --> 00:27:19,269
one and a half vertical miles below life
475
00:27:13,610 --> 00:27:27,799
is very different oh my god my head is
476
00:27:19,269 --> 00:27:32,380
so oh it's like frogs on a tip of every
477
00:27:27,799 --> 00:27:35,539
end of my hair due to goodie bro
478
00:27:32,380 --> 00:27:37,789
stormwater sewer the climbers have been
479
00:27:35,539 --> 00:27:41,320
ordered to rest while their bodies get
480
00:27:37,789 --> 00:27:41,320
used to the extreme altitude
481
00:27:42,970 --> 00:27:47,000
we're spending the same amount of
482
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:51,050
calories just eat yeah yeah as you would
483
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:54,230
down-home spinning around all day suck
484
00:27:51,050 --> 00:27:57,860
it up draw Mount Everest boys they must
485
00:27:54,230 --> 00:28:01,430
eat as much as they can I'll we use the
486
00:27:57,860 --> 00:28:05,000
budget all fifteen hundred kilo this is
487
00:28:01,430 --> 00:28:09,340
public expects seven thousand eggs yak
488
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:13,190
meat we brought from Lhasa 15 100 kilo
489
00:28:09,340 --> 00:28:18,070
milk powder butter 50 kilo fresh
490
00:28:13,190 --> 00:28:21,350
pineapple flash to metro and this is why
491
00:28:18,070 --> 00:28:25,310
1500 kilo up here frozen food comes out
492
00:28:21,350 --> 00:28:29,240
of the ground okay yeah chicken we put
493
00:28:25,310 --> 00:28:32,570
in like a freeze inside of a crown this
494
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:34,700
is still cold you see some people is
495
00:28:32,570 --> 00:28:38,690
more hungry than other group some
496
00:28:34,700 --> 00:28:42,470
people's heart if so it's not much why
497
00:28:38,690 --> 00:28:44,710
not an all real noodle good food is
498
00:28:42,470 --> 00:28:47,390
crucial to the success of the climb I
499
00:28:44,710 --> 00:28:48,809
learned over the years a lot of the
500
00:28:47,390 --> 00:28:51,870
teams that
501
00:28:48,809 --> 00:28:54,059
sitting around not eating very well they
502
00:28:51,870 --> 00:28:56,070
go off and they expend a huge amount of
503
00:28:54,059 --> 00:28:58,639
energy and and then they can't get down
504
00:28:56,070 --> 00:28:58,639
and they die
505
00:28:59,620 --> 00:29:04,970
it's vital the climbers load their
506
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:07,760
bodies with energy at summit day they'll
507
00:29:04,970 --> 00:29:10,460
burn fifteen thousand calories even
508
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:14,600
resting in camp you'll lose up to 30
509
00:29:10,460 --> 00:29:16,340
pounds in weight it's a function of not
510
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:19,060
eating because you don't feel like it
511
00:29:16,340 --> 00:29:21,920
not digesting what you do eat and
512
00:29:19,060 --> 00:29:26,660
ultimately burning up your own stools to
513
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:29,270
keep function one and a half miles above
514
00:29:26,660 --> 00:29:31,310
advanced base camp the expedition
515
00:29:29,270 --> 00:29:35,200
Sherpas are just yards from the summit
516
00:29:31,310 --> 00:29:35,200
and racing bad weather
517
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:56,309
five-minute from the Sun fun actually on
518
00:29:52,860 --> 00:29:58,260
the solar engineer or I must be Russell
519
00:29:56,309 --> 00:30:00,710
can only hope his weather predictions
520
00:29:58,260 --> 00:30:00,710
are right
521
00:30:04,470 --> 00:30:09,700
well you just can't compete with the
522
00:30:06,700 --> 00:30:11,350
shirts this is not ours I have the
523
00:30:09,700 --> 00:30:13,990
shifts on oxygen too so that's like
524
00:30:11,350 --> 00:30:16,810
giving a Formula One car jet fuel yeah
525
00:30:13,990 --> 00:30:20,140
on the final ridge the Sherpas are out
526
00:30:16,810 --> 00:30:22,540
of view from advanced base camp the team
527
00:30:20,140 --> 00:30:25,800
wait with bated breath for news of the
528
00:30:22,540 --> 00:30:25,800
season's first summit
529
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,840
cool
530
00:31:01,100 --> 00:31:05,179
toughest sob is on the plane
531
00:31:05,810 --> 00:31:08,950
these are the real heroes
532
00:31:10,990 --> 00:31:15,940
they started on the 30th last year so
533
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,320
it's a matter of minutes and hours and i
534
00:31:15,940 --> 00:31:21,280
actually think they may have submitted
535
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:23,860
at bit earlier today poorva and the
536
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:27,150
Sherpas have summited the earliest for
537
00:31:23,860 --> 00:31:27,150
the second season running
538
00:31:28,559 --> 00:31:35,340
oh the celebration is brief hmm and with
539
00:31:33,299 --> 00:31:38,400
their work done they must get down out
540
00:31:35,340 --> 00:31:40,710
of the deaths on fast
541
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:44,720
and I'll betcha they'll be down at ABC
542
00:31:40,710 --> 00:31:48,120
tonight with a big smile on their faces
543
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:51,850
but Russell knows poorva and the Sherpa
544
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:54,259
team are far from safety yet
545
00:31:51,850 --> 00:31:57,470
exhausted and breathing minimal levels
546
00:31:54,259 --> 00:32:01,509
of oxygen eighty percent of fatalities
547
00:31:57,470 --> 00:32:01,509
happen on descent
548
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:11,960
day 19 on Everest Russell's advance team
549
00:32:09,980 --> 00:32:14,980
of Sherpas have summited in good time
550
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,980
and good weather
551
00:32:18,630 --> 00:32:24,670
an advanced base camp all eyes are on
552
00:32:22,150 --> 00:32:28,090
the summit ridge nearly 9,000 feet above
553
00:32:24,670 --> 00:32:30,520
them phurba and the Sherpas must get
554
00:32:28,090 --> 00:32:32,760
down out of the Death Zone and before
555
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,760
nightfall
556
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,899
here they come in yeah buddy
557
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:51,850
yeah all chef is our surfers are coming
558
00:32:47,020 --> 00:32:54,310
down right now working on minimal levels
559
00:32:51,850 --> 00:32:59,380
of oxygen and exhausted from the climb
560
00:32:54,310 --> 00:33:01,990
it's a long and deadly descent eighty
561
00:32:59,380 --> 00:33:03,140
percent of fatalities happen on the way
562
00:33:01,990 --> 00:33:06,320
down
563
00:33:03,140 --> 00:33:10,360
in a quite a right at knotts really I'm
564
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,360
not messing around they're running
565
00:33:11,250 --> 00:33:16,540
the Sherpas are descending fast but
566
00:33:14,590 --> 00:33:21,910
moans has spotted two more climbers
567
00:33:16,540 --> 00:33:25,690
heading for the summit reckon they're
568
00:33:21,910 --> 00:33:29,110
underage below too sexy to to Columbus
569
00:33:25,690 --> 00:33:31,390
it's not the shapers real slow this late
570
00:33:29,110 --> 00:33:33,340
in the day the two mystery climbers have
571
00:33:31,390 --> 00:33:36,809
no chance of making it to the summit and
572
00:33:33,340 --> 00:33:36,809
back to camp before dark
573
00:33:37,260 --> 00:33:43,170
they got any support getting a bit late
574
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:45,480
we're bad the bottom of the snow slope
575
00:33:43,170 --> 00:33:46,950
at the summit pyramid which means that
576
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,660
the pace they're walking at they have at
577
00:33:46,950 --> 00:33:52,380
least I would imagine two hours to the
578
00:33:48,660 --> 00:33:54,990
summit and then the half way from the
579
00:33:52,380 --> 00:33:58,470
top down to the highest camp can take up
580
00:33:54,990 --> 00:33:59,940
to eight hours no other cops is going to
581
00:33:58,470 --> 00:34:01,980
come for them there's no elevator
582
00:33:59,940 --> 00:34:04,440
building they're gonna have to go down
583
00:34:01,980 --> 00:34:07,140
by themselves and they may have two and
584
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,730
a half hours of daylight to go down so
585
00:34:07,140 --> 00:34:11,639
for sure they'll be going down in the
586
00:34:08,730 --> 00:34:15,060
dark very few people have survived a
587
00:34:11,639 --> 00:34:17,820
night out in the Death Zone the two
588
00:34:15,060 --> 00:34:19,530
climbers have no support team but they
589
00:34:17,820 --> 00:34:23,520
had revealed their daring plan to other
590
00:34:19,530 --> 00:34:28,250
climbers at advanced base camp well this
591
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:32,100
is mike suit uh I think he's 30 or 31
592
00:34:28,250 --> 00:34:34,080
and this here is the Sealy the to them
593
00:34:32,100 --> 00:34:35,859
have come together for many years so
594
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:38,649
they know each other well
595
00:34:35,859 --> 00:34:41,889
they brought gars Max's 42 degrees is a
596
00:34:38,649 --> 00:34:45,489
lawyer and he's a vet veterinary the
597
00:34:41,889 --> 00:34:48,339
city's is a professional sportsman well
598
00:34:45,489 --> 00:34:50,529
climb every single week back home the
599
00:34:48,339 --> 00:34:53,859
dude least the 5,000 meter peak every
600
00:34:50,529 --> 00:34:55,869
weekend I would say they were experts so
601
00:34:53,859 --> 00:34:58,749
they're wearing our red yeah they're
602
00:34:55,869 --> 00:35:03,339
facts they're wearing red orange packs
603
00:34:58,749 --> 00:35:06,130
red jackets red fox the two young
604
00:35:03,339 --> 00:35:08,680
climbers are from kazakhstan and they're
605
00:35:06,130 --> 00:35:10,329
slow because like moans they're trying
606
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:15,519
to climb the mountain without bottled
607
00:35:10,329 --> 00:35:18,369
oxygen we are on 30th of April and these
608
00:35:15,519 --> 00:35:21,460
guys are two hours from the summit
609
00:35:18,369 --> 00:35:23,319
without owes no one expected anyone but
610
00:35:21,460 --> 00:35:25,869
the Sherpas to attempt the summit in the
611
00:35:23,319 --> 00:35:30,099
cold early days of the season especially
612
00:35:25,869 --> 00:35:31,450
without oxygen probably being a little
613
00:35:30,099 --> 00:35:33,609
bit of a surprising they come down the
614
00:35:31,450 --> 00:35:36,690
snow slope see them going up that fresh
615
00:35:33,609 --> 00:35:39,480
rope they just fixed about two hours ago
616
00:35:36,690 --> 00:35:44,009
those two cousins guys must been just
617
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:44,009
nipping on their butts yeah
618
00:36:01,020 --> 00:36:04,880
beginning
619
00:36:02,580 --> 00:36:04,880
game
620
00:36:06,220 --> 00:36:12,520
as they passed the Sherpas the Kazakhs
621
00:36:08,980 --> 00:36:14,170
show no sign of giving up there's been
622
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:17,740
of a pat on the back or a handshake as
623
00:36:14,170 --> 00:36:19,630
they pass each other when looking we can
624
00:36:17,740 --> 00:36:22,270
see three ship is coming down and
625
00:36:19,630 --> 00:36:24,190
there's these two Kazakhstan guys still
626
00:36:22,270 --> 00:36:29,890
going up the snow slope clouds rolling
627
00:36:24,190 --> 00:36:33,430
in this ship is now it's time to get off
628
00:36:29,890 --> 00:36:37,140
the mountain the weather is closing in
629
00:36:33,430 --> 00:36:37,140
but the Kazakhs are still climbing
630
00:36:37,940 --> 00:36:43,730
the pressure's dropped 15 points in the
631
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:46,349
last hour which means snow is coming
632
00:36:43,730 --> 00:36:48,710
coming in this direction that's thick
633
00:36:46,349 --> 00:36:48,710
and heavy
634
00:36:49,070 --> 00:36:53,480
three minutes ago we could see the Sun
635
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:56,720
mcdermott it's gone you know it's just
636
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:58,820
that quick there's no Dolph is gonna be
637
00:36:56,720 --> 00:37:01,160
a lot of pain the soft moon after
638
00:36:58,820 --> 00:37:02,960
passing Russell's Sherpa team they are
639
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:07,370
now completely alone on the mountain
640
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:09,200
with no oxygen no support and running
641
00:37:07,370 --> 00:37:10,910
out of time when you're not gonna have
642
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:13,520
installed without us you know you go
643
00:37:10,910 --> 00:37:16,160
right to what's human humanly possible I
644
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:18,860
know that every breath and every step is
645
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:20,900
a pure agony they have about
646
00:37:18,860 --> 00:37:23,390
thirty-three thirty-four percent oxygen
647
00:37:20,900 --> 00:37:26,120
to the brain so they're stretched to the
648
00:37:23,390 --> 00:37:30,080
limit now for sure maybe even beyond the
649
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:38,450
limit they're beyond reach and way
650
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:42,650
beyond the limit when the Sun falls on
651
00:37:38,450 --> 00:37:45,190
Everest so does the mercury nighttime in
652
00:37:42,650 --> 00:37:48,290
the Death Zone sees temperatures plummet
653
00:37:45,190 --> 00:37:49,680
this early in the season he can hit 40
654
00:37:48,290 --> 00:37:52,830
below
655
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:55,700
an advanced base camp the team wait for
656
00:37:52,830 --> 00:37:55,700
the Sherpas return
657
00:38:01,650 --> 00:38:03,710

658
00:38:15,190 --> 00:38:20,630
gratulations these guys started to this
659
00:38:18,710 --> 00:38:23,180
afternoon having worked all day fixing
660
00:38:20,630 --> 00:38:26,119
ropes at that altitude can't believe I
661
00:38:23,180 --> 00:38:28,430
saw him on the telescope this afternoon
662
00:38:26,119 --> 00:38:30,410
and down here for dinner tonight it's
663
00:38:28,430 --> 00:38:32,930
just truly truly truly amazing
664
00:38:30,410 --> 00:38:34,880
inspiration this is just so you can't
665
00:38:32,930 --> 00:38:36,589
even fathom what the boys have just done
666
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,210
and look at them they're not even you
667
00:38:36,589 --> 00:38:40,280
know crawling around they're just
668
00:38:38,210 --> 00:38:46,250
looking like they just had a walk in the
669
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:50,990
park that's the difference between the
670
00:38:46,250 --> 00:38:53,930
rows from stuff strength stark for lead
671
00:38:50,990 --> 00:38:56,990
Sherpa phurba this is his 10 successful
672
00:38:53,930 --> 00:39:01,640

684
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:43,590
some R&R it is good to see them back and
685
00:39:35,490 --> 00:39:45,920
see them in good spirits I hang out with
686
00:39:43,590 --> 00:39:48,720
some tough guys but these guys are cops
687
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:54,500
absolutely no matter where you are in
688
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:54,500
the world everybody celebrates little
689
00:39:58,220 --> 00:40:07,770
whiskey to the old days I used to work
690
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,540
with them do the running around and
691
00:40:07,770 --> 00:40:11,850
carrying loads and things like that from
692
00:40:09,540 --> 00:40:17,820
now of course some of what they call bar
693
00:40:11,850 --> 00:40:20,790
ji bhaji is the old man so budgies oh
694
00:40:17,820 --> 00:40:22,470
yeah it's a good money but um no I'd
695
00:40:20,790 --> 00:40:25,080
love to still be up on the mountain with
696
00:40:22,470 --> 00:40:27,480
these guys because it's great spirit to
697
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:29,970
be climbing with them working with them
698
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:32,940
I've got being in their rhythm it's a
699
00:40:29,970 --> 00:40:38,640
fantastic experience to do that
700
00:40:32,940 --> 00:40:46,230
too old for that did you guys on the
701
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:48,180
planet summer and see features only save
702
00:40:46,230 --> 00:40:50,700
your time all right hopefully we stand
703
00:40:48,180 --> 00:40:53,790
on the summit to go about getting my
704
00:40:50,700 --> 00:40:55,680
plan yeah well it's great that we just
705
00:40:53,790 --> 00:40:57,660
got our Sherpas back in camp and they're
706
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,819
all safe and sound but I keep thinking
707
00:40:57,660 --> 00:41:02,609
of the two Kazakh climbers who the last
708
00:40:59,819 --> 00:41:04,859
time we saw them it was for 48 in the
709
00:41:02,609 --> 00:41:07,280
afternoon and they were at the third
710
00:41:04,859 --> 00:41:07,280
step
711
00:41:08,660 --> 00:41:13,400
last seen on the third step oh they were
712
00:41:11,599 --> 00:41:15,950
still higher than any other mountain on
713
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:20,599
Earth with just one hour of daylight
714
00:41:15,950 --> 00:41:22,760
left they were pushing it very light you
715
00:41:20,599 --> 00:41:25,339
know they had this one shot to do it
716
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:30,020
they were gonna go back as purple about
717
00:41:25,339 --> 00:41:32,720
him and they passed them um they don't
718
00:41:30,020 --> 00:41:34,819
know where they're at so it's big
719
00:41:32,720 --> 00:41:37,010
question mark I mean bourbon the boys
720
00:41:34,819 --> 00:41:39,020
don't know where they're at how could we
721
00:41:37,010 --> 00:41:41,180
know you know so definitely got my
722
00:41:39,020 --> 00:41:49,250
concerns about him I mean it's cold down
723
00:41:41,180 --> 00:41:51,230
here I mean we're real cold at 3am the
724
00:41:49,250 --> 00:41:53,260
Kazakhs call Mayday from high on the
725
00:41:51,230 --> 00:41:53,260
mountain
726
00:41:55,900 --> 00:42:02,460
a Sherpa rescue team are scrambled to
727
00:41:58,180 --> 00:42:02,460
begin the ascent to 28,000 feet
728
00:42:03,060 --> 00:42:08,850
normally a three-day climb but the
729
00:42:06,540 --> 00:42:11,250
Kazakhs may have only hours before the
