i always whats that road in the middle of mountains at 2 :30,and where does it actually lead..any idea sir??

[ursusfilms]

@chill09871 It's not a road, it's the glaciers. They get covered in rocky debris as they slowly flow down valley. That's what the dark bands are. At 2:30 you can see two glaciers flowing together and then heading off left where they merge with more glaciers at Concordia. The rocky debris in the shots of basecamp is just a thin layer over the ice.

@fillosofert A classic case of a naive troll. I wont create an immature war here, so grow up and learn to keep it to the topic.

I really do not get it: they went all that way, through all that trouble, and got just 500m from the summit and then they just turned back because there was too much snow??!!! WHAT?!! why couldn't they just shovel there way through??

hey man great great video! :o) I have to ask...whats the music playing at 1:12? It seems perfect for my surfing video background music...thanks man, cheers!

That is some awesome footage. Very few people will ever see it any other way. I hope to get that high in 2013. Hey Fab, are you going back? What company ran the expedition in '09?

I am a Colorado mountaineer myself, looking for any and all beta possible. Are you doing any slide shows any time soon?

Does anyone know the song played at the very end?

the famous bottleneck

Sir, In my book, You are already on the summit. You just want to prove it to yourself I think. Thank you for your great Video and great share.
