Virtual Everest 2020: Special Edition – Video Interview with Adrian Ballinger, Alpenglow Expeditions
The summit is halfway. The team did well, but altitude, fatigue, low-oxygen levels got the best of them. A dangerous helicopter mission was launched trying to save a life
Our fictional team did great on Everest with 8 of 9 members summiting plus 9 Climbing Sherpas & Guide. But one member is fighting for his life with HAPE and needs a rescue
We have summits from our fictional team! Almost everyone made it but some just barely. However, as we know, the summit is only halfway.
The team was now on their summit push. The conditions were good, but the toll of being in the Death Zone was apparent. Some of our fictional team were in trouble.
The winds calmed during the extra day the virtual team spent at the South Col. They strategized how to manage climbing with 100 people.They left the Col for the summit.
The entire virtual team made it to the South Col, but winds from the cyclone unexpectedly hit them. About 100 people were in their tents, trying to survive the Death Zone.
After a windy night at C3, the fictional team moved to the South Col, crossing the Yellow Band and up the Geneva Spur. The winds had calmed but then a surprise. Also, a real-world video interview with Mike Hamill of the guide company, climbing the Seven Summits.
