not a wood axe you fool, it's just yellow/brownish colored

+10 points for using a traditional wooden handled axe.

super nice editing!

the sasticktics are very misleading. the numbers are set from the 1920 to now. in 08 290+ climbers reached the summit with only 1 person killed. and k2 was 18 summits and 11 killed. so k2 numbers are true in 08 but Everest is way off.

Actually its the overall stats, its not yearly.

Do you think you can tell me what song/composer this is, and great clip, Ed is my hero.

Thank you for posting this short clip - it's quite inspiring. I recommend watching the Charlie Rose interview w/ Ed and the Dark Side of Everest if this interests you. Do you know what song/composer this is by the way?
