Check out this hilarious spoof of Discovery Channel’s Everest: Beyond The Limit. Fans of the show will get more than a few laughs out of this. Camp 4 looks incredibly scary! 😉
Thanks to Dougald at the The Mountain World for sharing this.
Update: Jason over at The Adventurist found out more about the gang behind this spoof. They were actually profiled over at The Alpinist. Click here to find out more.

Yeah, that’s a classic, and one I posted some time ago. Still funny though. 🙂
I have to say…that was an absolute thrill ride..I honestly didn’t think he was going to make it–
Makes me wonder what an expedition like that costs.
I am still laughing.
Only thing that would have made it better–A bum passed out at Camp 4.
Good find Kraig-
Jason, and expedition like this one costs tens of dollars. It’s not something you jump into lightly. 😉
A bum would have been classic. Maybe we need to film Parking Garage: Beyond The Limit Season 2! 🙂
After a bit of research, I did discover a bit more about this clip-

Thought your readers might find the background interesting.
Something of note: Russell Brice discovered the video and contacted them–said he needed a new sherpa.
Definately a classic spoof though-am kind of surprised a lot more haven’t followed.
Nice. Just discovered that links don’t do so well in the comments post. I will email ya.
I needed this today!
Very funny! 🙂
Still, there is always that issue of trash on the mountain; like that little green package?
DSD
LOL! Yeah, they need to reinforce the rules about packing out your trash! At least these “climbers” seem to have a healthy respect for the danger that they are facing. Sherpa Pam was the smart one, turning back when things got hairy! 😉
Hilarious 😀
