Message from the summit of Everest

On May 24th 2004 Baz Roberts reached the summit of Everest up the north ridge on the Tibetan side. Together with Wongchin Sherpa, the two reached the summit first that day in 6hrs 10mins from camp 4. The wind was light and it was -25C. What a fantastic day that was.

I'm always amazed that people who haven't been to Everest and clearly know nothing about high altitude medicine feel qualified to comment! And the word is "too", not to. You need to go back to school to learn about how red blood cells behave at altitude!

People that lie about climbing everest are idiots and nobody cares about you. Don't bullshit on here you haven't a clue what it's like

[BazzaRoberts1]

@joemojoemo1 hey joe - get your head our your arse. it's the real thing mate. shame that sad pricks like you just sit in front of a computer all day so you can't possible relate to what it takes to climb Everest - or do anything interesting for that matter. Baz

I don't believe this guy made it to the summit. The camera is too careful not to film anything but a close-up of him. He's hiding something.

@Tony63909 hey tony - wake up man. see the reflection of the curvature of the earth in my goggles - you can't fake that - and a sherpa held the camera for me. It's sad that people like you can only surf the net to try and find fault with other people's awesome accomplishments. Baz

@BazzaRoberts1 Hey wonderful accomplishment to cherish your whole life! I have 2 questions: Did you go through a guide service from the states or how did you set up your trip? And what kind of temperatures did you hit as a low for the last 2000 meters? Thanks. Keep up the awesome adventures.

We watched a ton of videos today about climbing Mt Everest and they scared me so much I couldn't even watch them..the crevices were so deep that they scared me to death. I may think anyone that climbs is insane, but I also have a huge respect for them and think it's amazing.

No u have it wrong... There are 6 campsites up the mountain and it took 6 hours to get to the summit from the 6th camp. They say that you must leave campsite 6 to the summit and back in less than 18 hours or else you will most likely die because of H.A.P.E. All in all, it takes about 2 weeks of steady climbing to reach the summit of Everest. It you climb to fast your red blood cells will clot together and you will die. If you climb to slow, you will get frostbite, H.A.P.E., and will most likely
