thank you

00:00:13,740 --> 00:00:17,460
Mount Edgar at the edge of Tibet has
4
00:00:17,460 --> 00:00:19,440
never been climbed by its dramatic
5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,560
eastern wall the East face of Edgar is
6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,800
very imposing it's scary looking for a
7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,439
team of Alpine climbers it's the climb
8
00:00:28,439 --> 00:00:30,840
of a lifetime it's not very many chances
9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,480
you get to Pioneer a new route get an 8
10
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:36,480
000 foot face this is like the Lost
11
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:38,579
Temple of Doom but in this harsh
12
00:00:38,579 --> 00:00:39,899
Vertical World
13
00:00:39,899 --> 00:00:43,440
it's a Razor's Edge between Triumph and
14
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,200
tragedy there's nothing we can do
15
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,890
[Music]
16
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,220
Johnny Kopp and Micah Dash are one of
17
00:01:14,220 --> 00:01:16,680
the top Alpine climbing teams in the
18
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,060
world
19
00:01:18,060 --> 00:01:20,460
they specialize in establishing new
20
00:01:20,460 --> 00:01:22,799
routes in the most extreme vertical
21
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:25,799
terrain they can find tackling a first
22
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:28,799
Ascent in the big mountains is the most
23
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:31,979
exciting type of climbing no man has set
24
00:01:31,979 --> 00:01:34,380
foot here
25
00:01:34,380 --> 00:01:37,439
it's just pure Adventure
26
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:39,119
the things that Johnny and I are trying
27
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:41,759
to climb these are remote unclimbed
28
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:42,900
Peaks
29
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:45,540
no barriers have really been broken and
30
00:01:45,540 --> 00:01:48,299
you're there to break those barriers
31
00:01:48,299 --> 00:01:50,939
once you're up high it's full commitment
32
00:01:50,939 --> 00:01:53,280
climbing
33
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,140
ends up being pretty intense
34
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:02,460
cold night up here having climbed
35
00:02:02,460 --> 00:02:04,320
mountains all over the world
36
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,360
Johnny and Micah are gearing up for
37
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,700
their biggest challenge yet
38
00:02:08,700 --> 00:02:12,420
the unclimbed East face of Mount Edgar
39
00:02:12,420 --> 00:02:16,440
near Tibet in western China
40
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,420
this particular Peak that we're going to
41
00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:21,959
thinks about 6 800 meters the East face
42
00:02:21,959 --> 00:02:26,280
of of Edgar is steep it's very imposing
43
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,379
we want to do something that's Cutting
44
00:02:28,379 --> 00:02:30,599
Edge that challenges us to the core
45
00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:32,940
doing a first Ascent on a face like this
46
00:02:32,940 --> 00:02:33,900
would be one of the bigger
47
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:35,940
accomplishments I've done in in Alpine
48
00:02:35,940 --> 00:02:38,780
climbing for sure
49
00:02:39,239 --> 00:02:42,420
for a trip of this scale the process of
50
00:02:42,420 --> 00:02:44,760
planning just doing the research on this
51
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,599
very remote area is a daunting task
52
00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:51,500
and it starts a year in advance
53
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:55,019
how you doing Mike good Johnny yeah
54
00:02:55,019 --> 00:02:56,879
we'll see you guys again we do just
55
00:02:56,879 --> 00:02:59,360
extensive research on trying to find
56
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,580
these areas that are the most remote
57
00:03:02,580 --> 00:03:05,220
this could be the Holy Grail of first
58
00:03:05,220 --> 00:03:07,560
descent to be done in the next few
59
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,780
decades and I'm excited to be able to go
60
00:03:09,780 --> 00:03:12,239
over there with Johnny and uh and and
61
00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:13,920
check this region out
62
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:17,400
I basically have a photo on my desktop
63
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,700
of this peak that we're going to climb
64
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:22,620
and it's been there for a year and so
65
00:03:22,620 --> 00:03:24,000
all of my training and all of my
66
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,180
climbing is driven towards this one
67
00:03:27,180 --> 00:03:29,400
Focus you have to be at the peak of your
68
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,620
game to climb in this style on the
69
00:03:31,620 --> 00:03:33,720
world's biggest objectives if you're not
70
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,300
fit you're going home we've been doing
71
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:37,980
this thing called Mountain athlete
72
00:03:37,980 --> 00:03:40,920
pretty exhausting strong Johnny

00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,220

the push press basically kicking our ass
78
00:03:54,659 --> 00:03:57,120
into the ground making sure that we're
79
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,640
as hard to kill as we could possibly be
80
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,940
in the mountains yeah Micah I want to
81
00:04:02,940 --> 00:04:04,799
know that when I'm up there the last
82
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:06,540
thing I'm thinking about is am I fit
83
00:04:06,540 --> 00:04:10,400
enough good job fight for it
84
00:04:11,220 --> 00:04:13,439

88
00:04:18,359 --> 00:04:20,820
working towards it so it really inspires
89
00:04:20,820 --> 00:04:22,800
all the small parts of the process good
90
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,100

111
00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:27,720
be scared and cracking jokes at the same
112
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,360
time
113
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,199

114
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:33,180
climbing with him before nyama is bigger
115
00:05:33,180 --> 00:05:36,259

117
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,720
so we've been planning this trip to
118
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,699
Tibet with Johnny and Micah for a long
119
00:05:47,699 --> 00:05:49,919
time and there was never any doubt that
120
00:05:49,919 --> 00:05:51,600
we were going to send Wade Johnson as
121
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,880
the cameraman on this Expedition
122
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,120
he's really strong great cinematographer
123
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,580
he's shot with Johnny and Mike a lot in
124
00:05:59,580 --> 00:06:00,900
the past
125
00:06:00,900 --> 00:06:02,400

126
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,580
morning wood what is the kind of guy you
127
00:06:05,580 --> 00:06:07,320
want to have out there in the mountains

[Music]
131
00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:15,960
Johnny Mica and Wade all of us hail from
132
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,699
this super tight community of climbers
133
00:06:17,699 --> 00:06:18,900
in Boulder
134
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:20,699
we're like a family
135
00:06:20,699 --> 00:06:23,580
we shared Expeditions together
136
00:06:23,580 --> 00:06:26,940
we shared this vision of climbing
137
00:06:26,940 --> 00:06:29,419
we party together
138
00:06:29,419 --> 00:06:31,620
every year somebody out of the family
139
00:06:31,620 --> 00:06:33,660
it's their turn to get to go on a big
140
00:06:33,660 --> 00:06:35,580
trip and a big Expedition and everybody
141
00:06:35,580 --> 00:06:39,720
else kind of gets lived vicariously
142
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,580
trip to Johnny Mike and wait are going
143
00:06:41,580 --> 00:06:44,039
on is huge I mean it's it's a trip of a
144
00:06:44,039 --> 00:06:47,039
lifetime the first time I saw a photo of
145
00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:49,380
Johnny and Micah's objective I was like
146
00:06:49,380 --> 00:06:50,880
whoa
147
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,819
this East face of Edgar has a lot of
148
00:06:53,819 --> 00:06:56,280
snow and ice on it a high degree of
149
00:06:56,280 --> 00:06:58,620
instability you're definitely putting
150
00:06:58,620 --> 00:07:00,720
your neck out there and there's not a
151
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,940
whole lot of margin for error I don't
152
00:07:02,940 --> 00:07:05,160
really know of anybody having been in
153
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,380
here this is a scary place where we're
154
00:07:07,380 --> 00:07:08,460
going
155
00:07:08,460 --> 00:07:10,500
a lot of folks have have been asking us
156
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:12,000
how you know are you scared or something
157
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,880
are you worried about it
158
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,860
no I mean every single time I throw
159
00:07:16,860 --> 00:07:18,479
something else into that duffel I'm just
160
00:07:18,479 --> 00:07:20,460
like super psyched
161
00:07:20,460 --> 00:07:22,020
you know I've been through enough
162
00:07:22,020 --> 00:07:24,599
situations in big mountains and walls
163
00:07:24,599 --> 00:07:27,960
that I feel like I can get myself out of
164
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,840
anything that I get myself into
165
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,940
I know that's probably not the case but
166
00:07:32,940 --> 00:07:35,639
that's how it feels leaving home is
167
00:07:35,639 --> 00:07:38,160
always sad it's a it's emotional I'm
168
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,199
leaving you know my girlfriend these are
169
00:07:40,199 --> 00:07:43,259
my gloves so I'm leaving my life in
170
00:07:43,259 --> 00:07:45,300
Colorado to go do something that's
171
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:47,880
that's dangerous
172
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,759
it's always a bit of a strain
173
00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:53,290
but it's part of the program
174
00:07:53,290 --> 00:08:00,889
[Music]
175
00:08:02,460 --> 00:08:04,500

[Music]
177
00:08:06,180 --> 00:08:09,060
but it's more exciting I think than
178
00:08:09,060 --> 00:08:09,770
anything else
179
00:08:09,770 --> 00:08:36,070

we're way out here it's pretty exciting
184
00:08:59,339 --> 00:09:02,040
but right on the border of China and
185
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,459
Tibet
186
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,860
you can tell that they don't see
187
00:09:07,860 --> 00:09:11,360
westerners at all up here
188
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,920
we don't even know
189
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,959
how we're going to get to the base of
190
00:09:18,959 --> 00:09:20,240
this climb
191
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,640
or anything else
192
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,500
we have to kind of figure out how to get
193
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:27,360
the porters together and get the
194
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,920
equipment together to get it up high
195
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,360
enough it's a really bad map
196
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:41,130
[Music]
197
00:09:41,300 --> 00:09:44,360
thank you

foreign
201
00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:11,399
the peak is really really big
202
00:10:11,399 --> 00:10:14,399
scary there's a lot of uh potential
203
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:17,399
objective hazards Xerox like hanging ice
204
00:10:17,399 --> 00:10:19,440
walls that we don't want to be climbing
205
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,720
under because they can fall off I've
206
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,279
been on a lot of expeditions with Johnny
207
00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:25,380
and I've never heard him refer to
208
00:10:25,380 --> 00:10:27,240
something as being scared
209
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,000
even from a great distance is uh
210
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,480
frightening but also really exciting
211
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,519
but as the Team Heads Up The Gorge
212
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:38,399
drawing closer to their objective the
213
00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:40,500
mountains dangers begin to reveal
214
00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:43,019
themselves these Rock slides are fresh
215
00:10:43,019 --> 00:10:44,760
you can see that one that just came down
216
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:45,600
probably
217
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,480
large Boulders embedded in a matrix of
218
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:53,660
wet sand are ever threatening to unleash
219
00:10:55,019 --> 00:10:59,279
going up the gorge is like running gone
220
00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:00,600
yeah let's get the hell out of here
221
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,600
water this is scary right here yeah I
222
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,040
just want to make sure we don't endanger
223
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,839
anyone's life
224
00:11:06,839 --> 00:11:08,700
trying to get up there and scout out
225
00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:11,279
base camp needs to be safe so we can't
226
00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:13,620
be underneath loose Rock areas or
227
00:11:13,620 --> 00:11:16,320
Avalanche Terrain
228
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,839
basically we found the only flat-ish
229
00:11:18,839 --> 00:11:22,680
place in miles to establish our base
230
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:24,779
camp
231
00:11:24,779 --> 00:11:26,940
over 10 000 feet from the summit of
232
00:11:26,940 --> 00:11:28,200
Mount Edgar
233
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,399
it's a long ways to the top
234
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:36,360
with the porters gone
235
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,519
the team is alone on the mountain
236
00:11:38,519 --> 00:11:40,920
waiting for the weather to clear what
237
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,600
are you doing Wade
238
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,800
he's trying to use the power of the sun
239
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,440
charger batteries on
240
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,430
there may not work right now
241
00:11:52,430 --> 00:11:54,899
[Music]
242
00:11:54,899 --> 00:11:57,779
it's not in my nature to be patient nor
243
00:11:57,779 --> 00:11:59,940
still and everybody's just kind of
244
00:11:59,940 --> 00:12:01,680
forced to sit at the same spot until we
245
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:03,959
get weather
246
00:12:03,959 --> 00:12:06,540
gets a little aggravating for sure go
247
00:12:06,540 --> 00:12:08,519
ahead all right I'm thinking about what
248
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:10,860
I want to say well he's [ __ ] rolling
249
00:12:10,860 --> 00:12:13,019
well he's gonna have to wait
250
00:12:13,019 --> 00:12:14,760
I don't think Mike and I will get along
251
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,279
the whole trip Micah can you look less
252
00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:19,380
bored like you're you're listening to
253
00:12:19,380 --> 00:12:21,600
Johnny he's being an [ __ ] we can't do
254
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,100
this interview now but what we do really
255
00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:26,190
well is uh forgive each other
256
00:12:26,190 --> 00:12:29,850
[Laughter]
257
00:12:37,330 --> 00:12:40,389
[Music]
258
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,459
okay let's put it on autofocus for you
259
00:12:50,459 --> 00:12:51,540
so
260
00:12:51,540 --> 00:12:54,079
you don't have to think
261
00:12:54,079 --> 00:12:56,160
all right wait tell us what do you think
262
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,079
so far
263
00:12:58,079 --> 00:12:59,459
I think I wish we had better weather
264
00:12:59,459 --> 00:13:01,560
right now but it's been it's been good
265
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:04,519
we're gonna
266
00:13:05,339 --> 00:13:07,820
oh
267
00:13:08,220 --> 00:13:11,420
first clouds away
268
00:13:11,459 --> 00:13:13,800
so it is May 14th we've been in base
269
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,980
camp 14 days 5 39 A.M
270
00:13:19,380 --> 00:13:21,779
after weeks of waiting the weather
271
00:13:21,779 --> 00:13:25,560
finally allows the team to head upwards
272
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:28,380
they still have 5 000 feet before they
273
00:13:28,380 --> 00:13:30,540
get to the base of the route where they
274
00:13:30,540 --> 00:13:32,639
will Begin The Climb
275
00:13:32,639 --> 00:13:35,459
now that we're above base camp and below
276
00:13:35,459 --> 00:13:38,339
the main face that we want to climb we
277
00:13:38,339 --> 00:13:40,680
really just need a hole in the clouds to
278
00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:43,579
find our route
279
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,760
you can barely see Micah over there it's
280
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,680
kind of scary to walk that way with zero
281
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:53,540
visibility because I can't see the sorax
282
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:55,500
it's gonna be a lot of loose training in
283
00:13:55,500 --> 00:13:57,620
there
284
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,500
I think the visibility is about 20 feet
285
00:14:01,500 --> 00:14:04,860
you've got to find this Channel today
286
00:14:04,860 --> 00:14:08,300
not sure where we are
287
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,459
[Music]
288
00:14:14,459 --> 00:14:19,160
holy [ __ ] let's go it's clearing
289
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,760
holy smokes
290
00:14:26,420 --> 00:14:31,079
yeah that's so sick dude this is a sick
291
00:14:31,079 --> 00:14:32,940
place
292
00:14:32,940 --> 00:14:36,779
wow look at the face
293
00:14:36,779 --> 00:14:38,519
this is the first time anyone's ever
294
00:14:38,519 --> 00:14:40,440
seen this
295
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,540
this was like the Lost Temple of Doom
296
00:14:43,540 --> 00:14:46,019
[Music]
297
00:14:46,019 --> 00:14:47,240
s
298
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,040
what we're trying to do now is picking a
299
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,800
route that actually allows us to get to
300
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,620
some good ice being a safe position and
301
00:14:55,620 --> 00:14:57,720
also be able to get down
302
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,699
parts of the mountain are plastered in
303
00:14:59,699 --> 00:15:02,399
snow which might be unconsolidated
304
00:15:02,399 --> 00:15:05,660
trying to find a really the only safe
305
00:15:05,660 --> 00:15:09,600
and possible line up this thing
306
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,639
the team hikes higher up the mountain
307
00:15:11,639 --> 00:15:14,100
for a closer look at their potential
308
00:15:14,100 --> 00:15:15,839
route
309
00:15:15,839 --> 00:15:18,000
you're always hearing something falling
310
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,959
some ice falling off the sun its rocks
311
00:15:21,959 --> 00:15:24,480
a boulder Crashing Down
312
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,560
yeah
313
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:30,060
it's a scary place to be for a long time
314
00:15:30,060 --> 00:15:33,300
when the walls seem to be falling apart
315
00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:37,079
is horrifying it's like a haunted house
316
00:15:37,079 --> 00:15:39,959
up there as the heat of the day loosens
317
00:15:39,959 --> 00:15:41,880
up the terrain above
318
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,160
they find themselves trapped beneath
319
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,600
major rockfall coming from up there
320
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,740
right here
321
00:15:49,740 --> 00:15:53,180
holy [ __ ] [ __ ]
322
00:15:53,180 --> 00:15:56,820
[ __ ] there's nothing we can do we gotta
323
00:15:56,820 --> 00:15:59,779
stay here I see it coming
324
00:15:59,779 --> 00:16:03,680
you see it yeah
325
00:16:03,980 --> 00:16:07,160
holy [ __ ]

00:16:17,579 --> 00:16:21,180

[Music]
332
00:16:26,060 --> 00:16:28,800

333
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,300
above
334
00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:32,639
the team leaves their gear in a safe
335
00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:34,560
accessible place
336
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,600
hoping that conditions improve enough
337
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:41,000
for them to return and climb
338
00:16:41,699 --> 00:16:44,940
for now they descend to base camp to
339
00:16:44,940 --> 00:16:46,620
reassess their options
340
00:16:46,620 --> 00:16:49,520
this unstable deadly mount
341

342
00:16:52,139 --> 00:16:53,820
trying all day to find a freaking line
343
00:16:53,820 --> 00:16:55,500
up that wall
344
00:16:55,500 --> 00:16:58,980
we trained we plotted we flew here we
345
00:16:58,980 --> 00:17:01,019
hiked in and now is this going to be a
346
00:17:01,019 --> 00:17:03,240
total wash are we just going to spend 28
347
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,579
days not climbing anything
348
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,220
the hard part is knowing if it really is
349
00:17:11,220 --> 00:17:13,380
a shutdown there can be doubt that just
350
00:17:13,380 --> 00:17:15,959
filters into every freaking move
351
00:17:15,959 --> 00:17:18,799
all right
352
00:17:22,439 --> 00:17:24,240
Johnny and I both have been caught in
353
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,699
pretty bad situations
354
00:17:26,699 --> 00:17:29,400
so we're cautious we know what can
355
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,180
happen and we don't want it to here

I've been in two Avalanches personally

00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,340
I don't want to get caught in another

Avalanche

00:17:42,179 --> 00:17:44,100
we've had a couple times in this trip
361
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:45,960
where where we've just looked at each
362
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,539
other and thought I don't know I don't
363
00:17:48,539 --> 00:17:49,740
know where we're going to go from here
364
00:17:49,740 --> 00:17:52,440
we're pretty much sealed out from this

00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,600
East face of Mount Edgar
366
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,640
you know we don't want a 50 50 chance of
367
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,799
dying that's definitely not a manageable
368
00:17:58,799 --> 00:18:01,160
number
369
00:18:06,299 --> 00:18:09,660
here in base camp these massive Boulders
370
00:18:09,660 --> 00:18:12,660
came down compact car size Boulders

listening to all this massive Rock fall

00:18:14,820 --> 00:18:17,299
come down

374
00:18:19,620 --> 00:18:22,020
sleep good last night either

00:18:22,020 --> 00:18:24,780
seems that the east facing Mount Edgar
376
00:18:24,780 --> 00:18:26,280
didn't want us to climb it right now
377
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,539
very much at least not without more risk
378
00:18:30,539 --> 00:18:33,000
then we're willing to put out with
379
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,260
conditions deteriorating
380
00:18:36,299 --> 00:18:38,580
they make the painful decision to give
381
00:18:38,580 --> 00:18:42,380
up on climbing Mount Edgar
382
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,520
abandoning their long-held dream
383
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,260
well I want to keep doing these things
384
00:18:49,260 --> 00:18:51,120
and I want to keep pushing myself harder
385
00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:52,500
and harder and harder
386
00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:54,900
but just this knowing that you're not
387
00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:57,780
Invincible that you're knowing that [ __ ]
388
00:18:57,780 --> 00:18:59,340
can happen I'm really excited to get
389
00:18:59,340 --> 00:19:00,660
after it and be here in the mountains
390
00:19:00,660 --> 00:19:02,520
and climb something
391
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,860
um but we need to be safe
392
00:19:04,860 --> 00:19:07,679
hopefully we can get our gear back
393
00:19:07,679 --> 00:19:10,080
on the morning of May 20th
394
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,799
Johnny cop Micah Dash and cameraman Wade
395
00:19:13,799 --> 00:19:16,500
Johnson hike up the gullies to retrieve
396
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:18,960
their gear and perhaps get a day of
397
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,840
climbing on a smaller objective
398
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,840
they leave in the cold early morning to
399
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,880
minimize the risk of rockfall and
400
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,039
avalanches any last minute supplies are
401
00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:33,440
forgetting no let's go
402
00:19:43,860 --> 00:19:46,860
three American climbers missing in China
403
00:19:46,860 --> 00:19:48,900
three men were last heard from May 20th
404
00:19:48,900 --> 00:19:50,940
at the base camp of Mount Edgar they had
405
00:19:50,940 --> 00:19:52,919
hoped to reach the peak of nearly 25 000
406
00:19:52,919 --> 00:19:54,720
feet above sea level
407
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,419
so it's been snowing every day
408
00:19:57,419 --> 00:20:01,020
something's very wrong Dewey Wade should
409
00:20:01,020 --> 00:20:03,179
have come down by now there's just no
410
00:20:03,179 --> 00:20:04,740
reason he shouldn't have come down
411
00:20:04,740 --> 00:20:07,380
unless something is very very wrong when
412
00:20:07,380 --> 00:20:08,820
these guys were late reporting and from
413
00:20:08,820 --> 00:20:11,340
China that's when the alarm Bells went
414
00:20:11,340 --> 00:20:13,980
off because those guys came down we
415
00:20:13,980 --> 00:20:17,100
quickly put together a search and rescue
416
00:20:17,100 --> 00:20:18,179
effort
417
00:20:18,179 --> 00:20:21,000
climbers from here in Boulder friends of
418
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,100
Johnny and Micah and Wade who were
419
00:20:23,100 --> 00:20:25,860
volunteering to go over there to China
420
00:20:25,860 --> 00:20:28,140
when we first heard that those guys were
421
00:20:28,140 --> 00:20:29,820
missing we knew we were going to China
422
00:20:29,820 --> 00:20:32,220
they're they're our family
423
00:20:32,220 --> 00:20:34,200
we were going there to try to bring our
424
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,299
friends home but by the time the
425
00:20:36,299 --> 00:20:39,000
rescuers were able to make it to China
426
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,539
terrible news had already arrived
427
00:20:42,539 --> 00:20:45,360
for approximately an hour or so out of a
428
00:20:45,360 --> 00:20:47,760
base camp and if you look here there's a
429
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,080
ski pool sticking out of the snow
