Babu Sherpa: 21 Hours on Top of Mount Everest

In May 1999, Mountain Hardwear built a custom expedition tent for Babu Sherpa, who used it to camp on top of the world for an unprecented, and never repeated, 21 hours. This rare footage shows a few moments during his historic feat.

Can I do this with a regular tent or do I really need a custom one?

And this guy did it without Sherpa support.

Just shows what a bunch of whips the rest of us are.

[jEPPELITO1339]

@scharling15 I think he was sick or something i saw in GWR 2011

[wtficantgetausername]

And then he got careless while taking pictures and fell into a crevasse a few years later. rip...
