00:08Mount Everest at 29,000 feet it's the highest point on this planet reaching temperatures as
00:18low as minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of up to 175 miles an hour it is a treacherous place
00:27that has taken many lives on the 30th of April 2017 I lost my closest friends world-famous
00:38climber Uli Steck he was on Mount Noopsy as he was preparing and acclimatizing for one of his biggest
00:46climbs yet scaling both Mount Everest and neighboring Mount Lhotse without the use of bottled oxygen
00:55one year after Uli's death we head back to Everest to try and help finish off his climb
01:02I am here to support Uli's Nepalese climbing partner Sherpa Tenji as he attempts to link up
01:08without bottled oxygen or guides Uli's style and his vision only 205 people have stood on
01:15earth's highest point without the use of bottled oxygen more people have been into space than
01:19have accomplished this feat whilst Tenji had already summited Everest without bottled oxygen before
01:25there was no guarantee that he could do it again
02:10he's gonna be cold up there huh
02:11it's going to be cold up there huh
02:12yeah
02:12he's ready to go
02:15he's ready to go
02:15climbing these altitudes without bottled oxygen is a feat of mental endurance just that it makes it
02:19as much as physical the higher you get the harder it gets the struggle is superhuman
02:24at these elevations without bottled oxygen
02:48as we pass 26 000 feet we enter an area called the death zone so called because there is just
02:53one-third of the oxygen content than at sea level without buffal oxygen tengi is susceptible to
02:58frostbite as well as pulmonary and cerebral edema a condition whereby your lungs and brain fill up
03:04with your own body fluids resulting in death
03:26our journey takes us through unforgiving conditions
03:29and to the limits of the human body
