haven't used crampons before
the left and rights are marked with an
"L" and an "R,"
so you can't get it wrong.
All right?
So, simple.
First of all,
you push it into the shoe with this.
Unbelievable.
If it isn't the mayor
of Base Camp!
Scott Fischer,
Mr. Mountain Madness.
In the flesh.
You want a cup?
Sit down, man.
Acclimatize!
Okay. I'm normally
a tea man myself,
but let's give it a go.
Thank you so much.
Wow. It's crazy
this year, eh?
I know, man.
Some idiot Kiwi goes and
invents Himalayan guiding
and look what happens.
Yeah, it didn't take you too
long to get in on the act.
Gotta make a living, man.
You went ahead and fixed the icefalls,
I see.
Yeah, yeah.
It's pretty messy up there this year.
Yeah?
Crevasses are pretty big.
Strung four or five
ladders across.
You used good
ropes though, didn't you?
You ready? Okay.
This is, um, April 7th,
about 10:
30 a.m.,this is Sandy Hill Pittman,
reporting for NBC
Interactive Media
and we are officially at Everest Base Camp!
She one of yours?
Oh, yeah.
Someone went and
stole my journalist
so I had to get another one.
Hmm.
She's a lot easier on the eye
than Jon Krakauer,
that's for sure.
Listen, just to be clear,
I didn't steal your journalist.
Hey, man, it's all good.
Outside magazine gave me a call.
Hey. Hey!
They gave me a call.
- Said they wanted to...
- It's all good, man.
They were gonna send
a journalist up the hill
and asked me if
I was interested.
It was his call in the end.
All right, Caroline MacKenzie,
team doctor.
Why don't you kick it off, Caro.
- Hi, everyone.
- Hey, Caro.
Hi there.
Sorry.
That's fine.
Um...
So Rob and Harold
and Mike will tell you
all sorts of stuff
about mountaineering,
but from a medical standpoint
getting you to the top of
Everest is really about oxygen.
And the lack of it.
To give you the best
chance of summiting
you need to prepare your bodies
for the thin air up there.
So, over the next month,
before the final ascent
you're gonna make three
partial acclimatizing ascents
returning here to
Base Camp after each one.
The bad news is that each ascent
begins and ends
with the Icefall.
I'm sorry, but there
is no way around it.
There are millions
of tons of glacial ice
continually moving
day and night.
You got seracs
the size of tower blocks,
you got crevasses so deep they
probably don't even have a bottom.
It is not a place that you wanna
especially when the sun hits it.
So we're gonna be
up nice and early
and through that
as soon as possible.
Now the Sherpas have gone ahead
and fixed the ladders
across the crevasses
and we've made it as
