A short clip of our descent down the NE face of Mt Lassen in late May. The entrance was at the saddle between the landing that seems like the peak and the true summit a few hundred yards to the NW. We got to the top at the tail end of a storm that dropped 4-6in of fresh snow on Lassen. Author: googlewis Keywords: winter sports skiing snowboarding mountaineering Added: July 17, 2008

Time To Move On. It seems like we've just arrived at BC, and now it's time to leave. Wait, we did just arrive! But of course it's the journey, not the destination that is the most important. So, we're heading out to continue our journey.

Talking Shop At 17,000 Feet. After the puja ended, Scott and I wandered around BC looking for people to chat with. Most everyone who is going to be climbing Everest this year has arrived and are setting up their camps.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T. I wasn't sure Scott and I were going to be able to be a part of a puja ceremony since we have so little time at BC, but we lucked out! The team living "next door" to Brian and Justin invited us to be a part of theirs.

What A View To Wake Up To. We met up with the LUNGevity team and I decided to to do some impromptu interviews with them. I knew right away where I wanted to film them. The Base Camp swimming pools.

I Feel Like I've Been Here Before. Arriving back at Everest Base Camp all because of the podcast was one of the coolest moments of my life. I had dreamed of this moment almost every day for the past 4 years. Amazing.

Ben Clark's Spring 2008 Expedition - Postmortem. Ben and his climbing partners Josh Butson and Tin Clarke have returned from Nepal and their expedition on Annapurna IV.

Author Lincoln Hall visits Google's Mountain View, Ca headquarters to discuss his book "Dead Lucky: Life After Death on Mount Everest". This event took place on May 21, 2008, as a part of the Authors@google series. For more info about Lincoln Hall, please visit http://www.lincolnhall.net/ Lincoln Hall set off for Everest in early May 2006. Five weeks after reaching Base Camp in Tibet, he began his push for the summit. After three days of climbing higher into the oxygenless air, he was blessed with a perfect summit day. For a few minutes, Hall was the highest man on the planet. His Sherpa companions arrived, photos were taken, and the climbers commenced their long descent. Then things began to go horribly wrong. Hall was struck by cerebral edema--high-altitude sickness--in the aptly named "death zone." Drowsiness quickly became overpowering lethargy, and he collapsed in the snow. Two Sherpas spent hours trying to revive him, but as darkness fell he was pronounced dead. Early the next day, Dan Mazur, an American mountaineering guide with two clients and a Sherpa, was startled to find Hall sitting cross-legged on the knife-edged crest of the summit ridge. Hall's first words--"I imagine you are surprised to see me here"--were a massive understatement.

"You Cannot Believe That View!" It has taken Scott and I over 12 days to get to this point but we've finally been able to gaze upon Everest with our own eyes. What a morning this has been!

Life Imitating Art. We spent the evening in Shegar, New Tingri hanging out in the tea house. Our acclimatization is going really well so we all felt great.

Dustin Varga and Rocky Vertone climbed and skied St. John's in the Tetons on May 10, 2008. We didn't quite summit but had a great time anyway. Crazy avalanches everywhere! Goodtimes.

UPDATE 2215hrs - Video of torch on summit via Reuters: SINGAPORE (Team Geared Up) - An incoming report on the news today started like this EVEREST BASE CAMP, China (Reuters) - The Olympic torch was lit at the top of Mount Everest on Thursday, the crowning moment of the Beijing Games torch relay which had been dogged by anti-Chinese protests on its world tour. Live reports from Everest Base Camp have such a historic ring to them it generates excitement before reading them. The Everest flame will be reunited with the main flame later in the relay, possibly when it passes through Lhasa in mid-June. Three months to the day before the Games open, the first batch of climbers from a 31-strong team set out at about 1.30 am (1:30 p.m. EDT) from a camp at 8,300 meters. The climbers trudged slowly to the summit, in the final stages, staging a mini-relay. They unfurled the Chinese national flag, a flag with the five Olympic rings and a flag bearing the Beijing Olympic logo. The real news here is that the Chinese authorities banned anybody else from stepping onto the mountain so far this season to insure themselves against having anybody get in their way to the summit. Now they ve summited the other teams can start moving above camp 2 where the army have been preventing them from moving. Is it right to close a mountain? -Robin

Everything New Is Old Again. We've rolled into the little town of Shegar, otherwise known as NEW Tingri. Man, what a sense of deja vu. I feel like I've been here before.

http://www.pbs.org/frontline/everest Watch FRONTLINE "Storm Over Everest," a David Breashears film, on air and online beginning May 13. As darkness fell on May 10, 1996, a fast moving storm of unimaginable ferocity trapped three climbing teams high on the slopes of Mount Everest. The climbers, exhausted from their summit climb, were soon lost in darkness, in a fierce blizzard, far from the safety of High Camp at 26,000 feet. World-renowned climber and filmmaker David Breashears, who aided the rescue efforts back in 1996, now returns to Everest to tell the fuller story of what really happened on that legendary climb. Through remarkably intimate interviews with the climbers and Sherpas who survived the storm many who have never spoken before on American television Breashears sheds new light on the worst climbing tragedy in Mount Everest's history. Watch "Storm Over Everest" Tuesday, May 13, 2008 at 9 pm on PBS (check local listings) and online in free streaming video for 30 days following the television broadcast, available in full-screen format for users with the latest version of Flash. http://www.pbs.org/frontline/everest

It'll Stunt Your Growth. Today we had some memorable experiences with a bunch of kids. The image of 6-year-old children smoking is something I will not soon forget, but more about that in a second.

Ben Clark's Spring 2008 Expedition. Ben and his climbing partners Josh Butson and Tin Clarke are heading back to Nepal for a new expedition.

Smile And Say (Yak) Cheese! We're steadily making our way towards Everest and are now in the city of Shigatse. This is the 2nd largest city in Tibet and home to the 5th largest monastery, Tashilunpo.

Instant Karma's Going To Get You. Today we visited the Kumbum, the largest chorten, or stupa in Tibet. This place was a feast for the eyes, and I WAS able to photograph everything I wanted!

No Demons Here. We made it into Gyangtse today after some incredible scenery along the way. This is Tibet's 4th largest city and the view is dominated by a fortress on a hill. Spectacular.

Movin' On Up. We spent our last few hours in Lhasa this morning. Of course, Scott and I had to make a few more Koras around the Jokhang before setting out onto the Friendship Highway.

Chamonix Guiding is a site that combines my two passions, mountain sports, and shooting videos.

Homesick and Altitude Sick in Lhasa. Today was a day of contrasts for me. On one hand I was amazed and enthralled by the Potala Palace. On the other hand, I was sad beyond words.

Violence in Lhasa And Everest Closures. Tibet has been in the news of late with violence in the capital city of Lhasa. There's also been news that China has closed the North side of Everest to foreign climbing teams until the 10th of May, 2008.

Yak. It's What's For Dinner. After visiting the amazing Jokhang Temple, Lobsang took us to a nice restaurant to have dinner. After perusing the menu all three of us decided to go for the Yak.

La version finale du film MedeO'z pour les Outdoorgames de Chamonix http://winter.outdoorgames.org/fr/ C'est un concours vidéo ou 7 équipes de 12 personnes doivent réaliser un film de 5 minutes en 5 jours, en montrant 5 sports différents (Alpinisme, ski, snowboard, parapente director's cut of the MedeO'z Team movie, shot and edited in one only week, during the Outdoorgames in Chamonix (February 2008). This is a 5-minute short film movie featuring 5 different sports: mountaineering, skiing, snowboarding, paragliding and base jumping. All the footage and editing had to be done in five days, from Monday to Friday and had to be shot in the Mount Blanc range. The movie had to be understandable for the international jury, so we made the voice-over in English. But for those who don’t really understand English: the idea was to tell the story of our photographer, who wanted to make one shot showing all the sports, instead of taking one picture of each sport (which took us a lot of work!!).
