Отчаянные поступки, на которые готовы альпинисты, решившие покорить Эверест. ФотоIs the dream of all climbers.

In the middle of last century the mission to “Climb Everest” it seemed impossible before in 1953, Edmund Hillary and Norgay Tenzing conquered the summit, other brave men had committed at least 50 failed attempts of ascension. Thanks to modern equipment, these days the ascent of the Everest can make almost anyone, but today, with the conquest of the greatest mountains there are desperate things.

Younger nowhere

The youngest conqueror of Everest in 2010 was Jordan Romero – at the time of reaching the top the boy was only 13 years old. Young brave made the ascent with his parents, and they were not from Nepal, as the main part of the group, and by Tibet. At the moment his record no one has broken, and in the near future this is unlikely to happen, as in Nepal recently allowed to go up Everest only after 16 years, and in China after 18. But even if by some miracle even more young talent to climb Everest, in spite of the bans, to reach the level of Jordan Romero is unlikely that someone will, in fact, in December 2011, this boy has set another record – he became the youngest conqueror of the 7 highest peaks on 7 continents.

Overcoming yourself

Mark Inglis from New Zealand became the first person climbing up mount Everest being disabled. 20 years ago the man both legs amputated – he froze them during the expedition to mount cook, but even this fact did not affect the confidence of a man that he can conquer the highest mountain in the world. As a result, in 2006, the climber went on a journey for a dream as part of a commercial group, followed by the crew of the Discovery Channel. It seemed that fate itself was against this climb – at the height of 6,5 thousand meters from the new Zealand climber, broken denture, fix which was incredibly difficult. However, the Brand has managed not only to fix the damage, but to set foot on the top of the mountain, which he had so long dreamed. Have climbed the Inglis whole 40 days, but the climber claims that would be willing to go as much again, just to achieve his goal.

Climbing in the darkness

Imagine going on the road and cold in the dark, when every step is filled with danger, and you don’t even know where you’re going. Presented? About as feel American Eric Weihenmayer, which in 2001 reached the summit of mount Everest, being blind. The climber lost his sight at 13, but pushed him to reach new heights, both in direct and figurative sense of the word. Eric became involved in freestyle wrestling, rock climbing and multi-sports, and also climbed the 7 highest mountains on 7 continents.

Great-grandchildren wait

Japanese grandpa Yuichiro Miura – the clearest example of the fact that after 80 life begins. At this age, he managed to set a world record by becoming the oldest climber to reach the top of Everest. It should be noted that Miura had already climbed a mountain before, and once went down the slope (which is, at the moment, 8 thousand meters) on the slopes than has already been caused to his interest. Now on Everest covets another grandpa – Nepalese Min Bahadur Sher Khan, is planning to climb the mountain in his 84 years. We wish them both good luck and, most importantly, more long life!

Mount Everest: “For 15 years I lost 15 tons!”

Another Japanese Ken Noguchi, who is sometimes called an orderly Everest, for the last 15 years has undertaken five expeditions to the great mountain, but not in order to become famous at the amount of climbing or standing on top feeling like the king of the world. The fact that every time he takes the mountain an incredible amount of debris – pieces of equipment used oxygen bottles and other trash that climbers leave. During this time, Ken managed to take from the slopes about 9 tons of garbage – by the way, a small part of its Japanese took to subsequently arrange an exhibition and to show how great the mountain is suffering from the presence of people. It is worth noting that in recent years the environmental expedition has taken other climbers for example, the members of the Eco Everest was taken from the mountain 6 tons of garbage.
