Bill Burke - Mt. Everest (2012)

A 32-minute photo/video presentation of my expedition to Mt. Everest this year. There is some great footage of both the South and North sides of Everest, including the treacherous landing and takeoff at Lukla airport, the 35-mile trek to Base Camp on the South side, Base Camp South, crossing the ladders in the Khumbu Icefall taken with my video sunglasses, an exciting helicopter ride from Lobuche to Lukla, the bumpy road to Base Camp North, Base Camp North, moving up the vertical headwall to the North Col, moving from Camp 1 to Camp 3 in bad weather and summit night in a storm on May 19-20, including footage of my turnaround decision at the Second Step.
