Gasherbrum II Summits and More summit-pushes, Gasherbrum I teams in C3 - Updated Defying difficult snow conditions, first group of climbers summited Gasherbrum II yesterday
In Robert Link's mind, the only Question was, Was he (Sergi) the best? We discussed with Robert the issue of little press for many of the eastern European truly great climbers, and what a shame that was. Rustam Radgapov (the member of the Uzbekistan expedition, who started his attempt at 8:00) passed them on the steep snow slope under the summit ridge (8,750 - 8,800 m) at about 15:30 - 16:00
How do you feel about that? Hall: Extraordinarily grateful is an understatement because the chances are that had they not been there, I would have died.

What is certain is that every single one of the 40-odd climbers attempting the summit that day left the man in the cave, whose name was David Sharp, to freeze, either by choice, by ignorance, or by misjudging him as a corpse they already expected to see in that infamous cave. The realization that, not only will you not be able to help anyone else in trouble, but if you mess up, in any way, no one will likely be able to help you either

Those which can be bought down are, while others are either pushed into ravines away from the trail or covered in makeshift stone tombs known as "cairns."The deaths of 12 sherpas last year has reignited debate about the future of Everest
It wasn't until 1953, 29 years after Mallory died on his third expedition to Everest, that New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay reached the summit more than 29,000 feet up. More recently, Brad Washburn, the American geographer, mountain photographer and climber, produced a map of Everest for the National Geographic Society, giving it a height of 29,035 feet

Mount Everest, The Grave To Over 200 Dead Bodies - Unbelievable Facts
After all known details of the horrendous climb became public, it was realized that Francys Arseniev was the first woman from the United States to reach the summit of Mount Everest without the assistance of bottled oxygen. Of course they felt terrible about leaving her so in honor of her bravery, they climbed back up the mountain eight years later vowing to find the body and cover her in an American flag

My policy is not to comment until I have a first hand witness report and preferably more than one report that confirms the story then not to report names until it is clear the family has had an opportunity to be notified. Am I being selfish? What happens the loved ones I leave behind should something terrible occur? Is it worth it? What is the purpose of placing myself, and others in danger should something bad happen? These are just a few of the questions that kept me tossing and turning as I try and wrestle with these thoughts

Sir Edmund Hillary, first to climb Mount Everest, dies at 88
He later said he found the job confining.He introduced jetboats to many Ganges River dwellers a decade earlier, in 1977, when his "Ocean to the Sky" expedition traveled the Ganges by jetboat to within 130 miles of its source.The last segment was by foot, and two mountain peaks near Badranath, where the Ganges rises, were also climbed. He decried what he considered a lack of "honest-to-God morality" in New Zealand politics in the 1960s, and he refused to backtrack when the prime minister demanded he withdraw the comments
As others pass, climber dies alone on Mount Everest
"The real high-altitude mountaineers, the top people in the world who are doing new peaks and going to mountains you don't know much about, most of these people have become completely disgusted by Everest."The top mountaineers "often help each other," said Sjogren, who has made many Himalayan climbs. When things go wrong, there is little chance of rescue.But, many climbers add, Sharp's death also reflects something else: a changed ethic in what was, until a couple decades ago, a tiny community where only the most experienced climbers would be found that high on a mountain -- and where a dying climber would be abandoned only when a rescue threatened other lives.In Sharp's case, about 40 people are thought to have walked past him as he sat cross-legged in a shallow snow cave
They are a hardy, brave and independent lot, and each one understood and assumed the risk in traveling alone with virtually no support or radio contact. However, if any one of them had gotten into trouble and had Asian Trekking had been notified, I am absolutely confident a rescue effort would have been mobilized immediately, and we all would have joined in the effort
