Skiing Everest T2B including the Khumbu

[Harvey]

I haven't watched a 10 minute video through to completion, maybe ever.

This video is 31 minutes, and I was glued to the whole thing.

Andrzej Bargiel skis Everest from the summit to base camp.

The whole thing is incredible, but to me the most compelling part is navigating the Khumbu Icefall, with the help of a drone operated by his brother. I believe the icefall was skied one other time, in 2000. Without a drone, I assume.

Most won't watch, but some, with mountaineering experience might really enjoy it.

Be curious to know who watches the whole thing.

I’ve watched the whole thing. That guy rips. No oxygen is hardcore.

Too many ways to die doing that shit

I am not surprised at the first comment @Ripitz

I'm not saying I wish I could ski it. Just that it's an amazing film, that gripped me.

So many problems to solve (with an oxygen-starved brain).

It was. I couldn't watch the helmet cam part where he was skiing down that ridge. It made me dizzy.

Wow.

Gonna have to revisit this after dinner when I have time to watch.
