| The Climbers arrives this September! |
May 1960. Mount Everest, the second step under the cliff. The four
members of the China Everest Climbing squad are attacking the most
difficult "second step". This is their fifth assault. The first four
failures have
cost them too much physical strength ... finally, the wind
and snow block the gap. Check out the first stunning teaser below!

CLIMBING WITHOUT OXYGEN
Based on events of the first successful expedition to climb the summit of Mt Qomolangma using the treacherous north route from Tibet in China in 1960.
The trio who reached the summit on 25th May 1960 were the first climbers to do so without any supplement oxygen when it ran out and they became the 7th, 8th and 9th summiteers of Everest.

I wish the chinese would build some train or lift to the summit! They are capable of doing that. Even something partial will be good.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it reminds me of Yungfrau mt. in Switzerland. I visited there many years ago, and we went by train to the peak. Quite an experience!
By the way, Qomo is goddess in tibetan.
It must have been a gorgeous trip especially if you went there in Winter!
DeleteIt was in mid-autumn. That's the beauty of it; the weather was still fine, and the mountain peak was covered with snow and ice.
DeleteMust have been a gorgeous trip!
DeleteI don't understand the appeal of risking your life to climb a mountain. I agree with Duta. Building a lift, I like that idea.
ReplyDeleteMe neither, we have a climber in my city who died trying to climb one of those peaks and they treated him like a hero... what the what? More like an idiot, not a hero, especially as he had a family.
DeleteI agree, climbing is so risky, especially if you have a family ypi should think about it. But a movie about it may be good,especially during this heat☺ Great you have our Goplana in your shops, but our Wedel is even better, where do you live exactly?☺
ReplyDeleteWe have Goplana's chocolate covered fruit jellies and their chocolate toffee caramels which are super nom. We have Wedel as well, but just Pana Cota and Tiramisu, both are great, a bit expensive here, sadly, in Vojvodina, Central Europe. I also love your Loyd teas and Farmona cosmetics :)
DeleteThe only thing I'm going to climb is...
ReplyDeleteA mountain of problems, a hill of bills?
