While were on the subject of cool adventure videos, check out this one that captures the experience of crossing the dreaded Khumbu Icefall just above Base Camp on Everest. What sets this video apart, is that it is shot with a helmet cam, which really gives you a perspective of what it is life for the climbers. It is amazingly well done, and will definitely give you some “Oh sh*t!” moments.
Thanks to Jake Norton for passing this along in his Twitter feed. Great stuff!
