Everest

00:01:16 [Narrator] There is a place that is above all others...

00:03:34 The first thing I learned was the self-arrest.

00:05:29 Araceli Segarra has climbed high mountains before

00:07:43 Sumiyo Tsuzuki of Japan will document the expedition.

00:09:40 began moving north, towards Asia.

00:11:18 stopped at this monastery to seek blessings to climb Mount Everest.

00:13:00 a summit that's two miles higher.

00:14:58 There are three main danger zones.

00:18:48 [Narrator] At Middle Camp, the climbers must begin to drink more water

00:20:08 but some time in May you may get a week of calm, clear weather

00:21:45 fought their way back to the chaos of High Camp

00:23:24 You gotta pull yourself up over the South Summit...

00:24:37 and if I fell down, I was gonna get up.

00:26:15 [Segarra] The pilot had trouble setting down.

00:27:52 [Sighs]

00:29:18 [Segarra] There's no reason to climb with wind.

00:31:12 [Viesturs] We were running out of time.

00:32:47 You should be able to see us from Kala Patar...

00:34:27 I felt like I was on the moon.

00:35:51 [Segarra] It took all my strength and concentration...

00:37:26 [Viesturs] Just below the summit...

00:39:33 and I started to feel happy.

00:41:16 They had never expected to be swept up...

00:42:52 Up there above the clouds, I touched my father's soul.
