| An amazing and touching summit video from The Everest Peace Project's Everest Climb for Peace. History was made as they had the first Israeli - Palestinian summit push; and a joint Israeli/Palestnian flag was raised on the summit. www.everestpeaceproject.org ... The closest most of us will get to the summit most likely - amazing... | |

Omg, thats amaing. Were they being sponsered?
How long did it take them to get up there?
How many people went?
Is it scaried going up or down?
Anyway, cool video - and still not using Youtube I see. Shame. Oh well.
Hilda - I did try it...interesting music choice ;-)
I signed up for youtube (I had to in order to upload to the blog), but haven't had a chance to browse much - I didn't find too many videos (other than the mentos in coke ones) that fit with this blog - I still have to look more though.
It takes a couple weeks to make the ascent, but the actual reaching of the peak is done in a single day. It takes so long because they have to stop and acclimate to the altitude.
I don't know which is scarier, but I do know coming down can be more dangerous because you are more tired.
a difficult task climbing up mount everest but still why would the video tape it? we already have tapes of it somewhere in the library ofcongress or somewhere like that. anyways buut that is kinda cool though
it takes a while just to get on top of that mountain. for us, it takes a while just to get to the mountain. anyways, cool video though. im in the library and ms alfieri has blonde hair bye!

"why would the video tape it?"
that doesnt make much sense now does it Jeff?
That was so interesting. It must be freezing up there!! I can't imagine the beautiful views from up there. They must be so tired but relieved to have reached the top.I don't think that i would have made it to the top.

It would be very amazing to climb Everest ... on second thought, it is unrealistic for normal Americans like us. Too expensive, we're not in shape, acclimation, time, etc. Still, it is one of those romantically dangerous things.
Nick - I agree on the romantic but unrealistic dream idea - I think that's why I read so many books about Everest - it's my little way of keeping the dream alive.
Jeff - we actually don't have that many tapes of Everest, due to the extreme physical rigor of climbing, the cold temperatures (they affect the film), and the added weight of the cameras.
With the recent development of lightweight digital cameras, we are getting more, but I wouldn't say we have "plenty" just yet.
The other thing about this one that makes it special is that it was a joint Isreali-Palestinian expedition - in case you didn't know, those two countries don't exactly like each other.
OHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I was watching discovery channel yesterday and there was a preview on for a new show they are going to make about people trying to climb mt. Everest! Go me.
That was so cool, being that high would be amazing. Was that thing that the girl had around her neck a mask for breathing?
