Everest 1982

  • In 1982, a team of Canada’s best climbers confidently trekked to Everest through Nepal’s post monsoon rains. Within a month, four people were dead and half the climbers had returned home. The much-diminished team salvaged the expedition by putting six climbers on the summit via the traditional South Col route.
    This film provides an insiders’ look at an era when climbing with style was more important than “peak bagging” and Everest was only attempted after a long mountain-climbing apprenticeship.

    Wow this is amazing, i have the large hardback book on this expedition. I would look at the pictures and want to do this. I've never seen a video about it before. I got the book for Christmas in 1985. I've still got it in my everest collection. Rip Blair Griffith.

    I love watching mountaineers I’m older Iwas an athlete all my life. I never understood mountaineering, I’ve competed in many sports and when I lost I trained harder and did better; I would never give my life for a loss. This is why I watch mountain climbing; I don’t understand their what drives them.

    Pat ... do you think that the reason the icefall is climbed in April/May and at night is because it is much more stable due to colder conditions?
    Also, Adrian Ballinger (during an interview on either Alan Arnett or Tom Pollard) stated that until the Nepal government approves him bringing his team & supplies via helicopter from BC to ABC, he will have to stick to climbing the north side.

    • @PatMorrow
      @PatMorrow  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      the mountain is climbed in pre monsoon because of the warmer temperatures up high and wider window of good weather. and theoretically night time temperatures are colder which lessens the chance of avalanche, but in our case, and notably in 2014 when 16 Sherpas were killed in the same avalanche path, it didn't work that way. re: use of helicopter, why stop at ABC when you can ride a Eurocopter AS350 Squirrel all the way to the top? 😉

    As a Canadian, I remember this story when it happened. The whole country was following the progress of our team. Very sad loss of life. Good documentary except for that really cheesy, annoying, Toronto studio background music. It needs to be re-edited and the music taken out. It really detracts from the story and makes it falsely melodramatic. The story and the narrative is tragic and dramatic enough without the need for that soap opera crap music. Maybe they should do another one talking to the guys who are still alive today.

    Well this is a great find amongst all the Everest material that's out there. I never knew a thing about everest until 1996, and at that time i don't recall anyone talking about the canadian expedition, so i'd literally never heard about it until today. One thing though... half of them sound like Brits. Is that just coincidence, or was there really such a lot of british climbers that moved to canada in those days?

      i totally agree - in a perfect world there would have been video all the way to the top...but this was 1982, and i was using a prototype video camera whose batteries couldn't handle the cold - the unit died at the South Col (-25 mas o menos), and i shot stills from there on up....these days, a higher quality video can be shot all the way to the top using a smart phone...if you're fit enough, can withstand the cold and rarefied atmosphere, and motivated enough to dig the recording device out when you're freezing your ass waiting for a conga line of affluent tourists jumaring up a rope that was fixed by Sherpas....

    So sadly uninformed about the country they were visiting and the meaning of the puja. “I guess we purchased our way to heaven.” That’s not how this works. Still not as annoying as some of the climbers from the 90’s on. I remember one chick insisting to have her espresso machine brought up. Sigh.

      we were indeed uninformed about the Himalayan culture, but we didn't write the script for the CBC-produced film. since this expedition i've spent over 1000 more days on expeditions and treks spanning the length of the Himalaya, and have developed an appreciation for many different cultures and norms.
