Sherpas Clean Up Mount Everest
Up next… no one likes cleaning up trash… but imagine doing it more than 26-thousand feet high. That’s what a group of climbers did on Mount Everest Sunday, removing bags of rubbish left by climbing parties over the last 40 years. Many Nepali and foreign climbers have cleaned Mount Everest in the past. But Namgyal Sherpa, leader of the Extreme Everest Expedition 2010, says no one had dared to clean above 26246 feet. This is an area known as the „death zone“ due to a lack of oxygen and treacherous terrain. Namgyal and his team of seasoned climbers risked the zone’s thin air and freezing temperatures to pick up empty oxygen bottles, gas canisters, torn tents, ropes, and utensils. The mountain has become known as being the world’s highest rubbish dump. Garbage that had been buried under snow in the past was now exposed on the surface of the mountainside with the white stuff melting away. [Namgyal Sherpa, Project Director]: „Collecting the rubbish is quite a risky task. Such tasks cannot be carried out by anybody.“ New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary and Nepal’s Tenzing Norgay Sherpa were the first to ascend to Mount Everest’s summit in 1953. More than 4000 climbers have since scaled the mountain.

@hout00gje weel i think that when you’re out of oxygen on that mountain you don’t want to carry it with you the rest of the way
@hout00gje at 29,029 ft everything is impossible, for example carring a empty oxige can can make the diference between dead and live
@hout00gje most of those oxygen bottles are from dead climbers.
E’ veramente molto brutto che alpinisti di grandi capacità lascino sempre tanta sporcizia nei posti che loro stessi esaltano col loro preteso eroismo. Almeno Hermann Buhl puli meglio che potè!
Partys at those heights ;D its rather left overs from dead and desperate people.
There must be a lot of garbage left on that mountain then…
It’s about time people take responsibility to clean up their own garbage. – or else don’t climb…you cannot just drop and leave your trash in nature..and let someone else risk his life to clean it up. Expeditions cost a lot of money, so why not use part of that money to carry your trash back home in a handy way

@cookiesfun20 well im gonna give you some advice i just went in Nov. and the most we had to wait was about 5-15 min and rarely 35-50
@BlackwaterUSA93 sounds cool to me.
By the year 2018, Disney world will have unveiled a new expansion to the Animal Kingdom: Avatarland (or something along that line) based on (obviously) James Cameron’s Avatar (and sequels).
OHH! i can’t wait too go on this in aug! just asking how long is the wait?
@racer450r50 ohhhh diss rofll XD
we rode this more than thrity times because we had fast passes i love this ride
@shaqinthesox Then why’d you search this video? Just to troll? There’s over a million or billion fans of Disney world, and one person isn’t going to change their opinion. If you don’t like Disney then that’s sad, but your entitled to your opinion. But don’t go searching the video just to troll!
If you go to disney world, you HAVE to go on it
it looks like it goes really slow in this video but trust me, it’s fast! probably one of the best rides in the whole disney world. I went on twice! Loved it
My favorite ride in disney Rode it 7 times, and I still can’t get enough! Thanks for the video
@carmellyme If your looking for real thrills, then universal studios is probably where you want to go, they have more „Thrill rides“ But Disney world also has several thrill rides, but most of them are geared more towards younger kids, so its a little less „thrill“. The magic in disney world is amazing, but universal studios is the place to go for thrills.
Thrill rides wise which is a better place to go to disneyworld or universal studios?!? Because I’ve never been 2 any of them.
shaqinthesox: nobody could say it better! You (and, of course, Disney) ROCK!
I love how at first everyone’s always like, „Oh this isnt so bad,“ but then at 1:29 everyones like „HOLY SHIT ITS GOING BACKWARDS“ rly good ride if it can take u by surprise like that
@shaqinthesox obviously you havnt been to disney world… because im 13 and LOVE it there.
wanna know a „real“ place where you belong?
IN HELL YOU SON OF A BITCH (:
