Who's silly, Dave is an experienced and respected climber and skier. He was and is the first man ever to ski down the (upper) slopes of the most dangerous mountain/summit of the Himalayas, the K2. Ultimate respect please!

The story behind this clip is: Shit happened, 11 people died and then everyone left. My buddies and I were climbing Broad Peak at the time. We came over to K2 for our attempt. Weather was bad. We got bored and decided to go up anyway to retrieve a video camera left in camp 2 by Wilco (Dutch). I wanted to go to camp3, my partners did not, so they went down, I stayed the night in camp 2 hoping for decent weather to go up the next day. Weather got bad so I came down.

Hey Dave. Where exactly on the mountain was that spur? Were you on the Abruzzi? Unreal video man. That was a bad summer. I've seen insane pics of that ice cliff above the bottleneck, and it was only a matter of time. Glad you were able to decend ok. What elevation did you get to? As far as House's Chimney? That mountain haunts my dreams! Would love to just visit the Godwin Austen and see it.

@whitehousestudios I was on Broad Peak when the tragedy occurred. This was shot in mid-August 2008, lower on the Cesen route, between camp 1 & 2. It was so windy up higher I couldn't take the camera out. I was only able to get to camp 2 (6400m) on this trip, the weather was horrible the whole time. In 2009, I climbed the Abruzzi to the shoulder and then up to 8400 meters where I was stopped by deep snow. The House Chimney is awesome, super nice moderate mixed climbing.

@sweetwilliejames I summitted Everest in 2004 and again in 2006. My buddy has some footage shot up high and on the summit. I'll try to get it from him and post it.
