【50年後的登山傳承——珠峰生存】埃德蒙·希拉里爵士兒子和丹增·諾蓋的兒子 攀登珠峰紀錄片 國家地理 P2 - SR

我大約六歲就意識到我父親是誰 我開始非常尊敬我父親 對他所做的一切 我希望能像他一樣 1953年5月29日 32年的人類奮鬥 以達到地球最高點終於結束 新西蘭人Edmond Hillary和Sherpa Tenzing Norgay 從Everest頂峯返回 但他們很快發現 達到頂峯只是一開始 爬山的成功後 人們希望歷史上是個美好的時刻 大家都應該開心 但我不認為如此 兩位傲慢的男子 從未想到他們的成就 在世界上的影響 他們自己 和後來他們的子女 非常無辜 我父親來這裡爬山 我認為是在那一刻 他們開始意識到 這不只是一座山 現在50年後 Everest頂峯的男子子女 回頭來面對 頂峯背後的真相 Everest頂峯的真實故事是什麼 這真是個非常糟糕的地方 任何時刻 你會覺得 整個頂峯都要崩塌 如果你抱著一根柱子 你會沒事嗎 也許 沒有人比Sherpa的人 他們在50年來爬山 我不會鼓勵我兒子爬山 因為這是一個非常危險的頂峯 你可能會死去 100個原因 Peter 你還活著嗎 超過1200人爬上了頂峯 175人嘗試過死 然而Everest的頂峯 依然充滿刺激 我父親和Tenzin都在那裡 沒有其他人 在頂峯的頂峯上 今天 有超過100人 如果一切順利 你會看到有些人被殺死 告訴人們要掉下來 你們要堅持住 50年來爬山 改變了頂峯 並改變了 Everest的存活意義 我認為我們這次 不應該爬上頂峯 他們在尋找答案 在抗衡極端時 這些兒子 必須面對山上的真相 他們的父親 和自己 我必須承認 當我打電話給你時 我非常害怕 爸爸 你能聽到嗎 爸爸 5.5公里高的海岸 曾經是探索中 最後的大挑戰 是一場競爭 為了擺放一個國家的旗號 在所謂的第三峯上 今天 Everest的兒子 又回到頂峯 學習了50年來 爬到世界頂峯的 一座山 和自己的族人 Sherpa Tenzing Norgay的兒子 John Ling 看見這個旅程 是一個機會 來探索真實的故事 他的父親 在Everest 之前和後來的事件 我父親 不希望我們爬上頂峯 他不希望我們 成為Sherpas 爬上頂峯 為了保護自己的生命 他說他已經做了 所以我們不必再爬上頂峯 Joining John Ling Joining is Sir Edmund Hillary's son Peter When my father and Tenzing climbed Everest in 53 It was a remarkable achievement for humankind They really showed what people can do and I'm incredibly proud of dad for that They've both grown up in this valley the home of the Sherpas and have each climbed Everest once The expedition will be led by Pete Athens who has climbed Everest six times more than anyone who isn't a Sherpa This will be my 16th expedition to Everest and it's a bit of a surprise even to me that I would have come here so many times For 25 years Pete Athens has been coming here climbing with the Sherpas He speaks their language and is also a Buddhist But this time is different This will be Pete's last expedition on Everest He and the team will trek 35 miles and 9 days up to base camp at the foot of the mountain Some historians compare the conquest of Everest with space exploration Yet it took longer to get a climber to the roof of the world than to put a man on the moon The quest to climb Everest started in 1921 in Darjeeling, India From here over the course of 20 years the British launched six unsuccessful expeditions to the north side of Everest Supporting every effort were the Sherpas known for their strength at altitude By the 1950s the Swiss had joined the British in a race to put the first man on the summit Both nations knew that to be successful they needed the greatest Sherpa climber of the day Tenzing Norgay As surdar, or Sherpa leader Tenzing acted as the conduit between his Sherpa climbing team and the foreigners This year on his way to Everest Tenzing Norgay's son Jomling is seeking out the last surviving Sherpas who worked on the early expeditions with his father I shared a tent with your father in 1953 Before the expedition we didn't have much to do At home I collected wood That's all Tenzing worked for my family as a young man Early on he became bored with village life So he went to Darjeeling where there were better opportunities for making money Anyone who wanted work had to stand in line in Darjeeling Whether they wanted to be a climber or a porter They would examine each Sherpa to see if they had any diseases or physical problems If someone had an illness they would hire the next guy They carried loads into the thin air Both men and women toward the base of Everest Most wore clothes too thin to ward off cold and frostbite And many made the 175-mile trip barefoot Another son of Everest Brent Bishop is also on the expedition His father, Dr. Barry Bishop made Everest history 40 years ago when he and four other climbers on a National Geographic expedition became the first Americans to stand on top Unfortunately, Barry Bishop Director of Research and Exploration at National Geographic died suddenly in 1994 Just four months earlier Brent climbed Everest But their ability to reflect on their common experience was cut short Now he's back seeking answers My father was killed in a car accident My mother and I and my sister came to Tengboche Monastery We spent three days here with the monks conducting a ceremony that is the Tibetan Book of the Dead which is a road map to get the soul from its death point to the next life And the tortoise was built shortly after that I left a picture of my two sons there Ages four and six And the older one's name is Barry And he's named after my father And unfortunately my father never met them So I just thought I'd leave a picture on the Chorten for them maybe to get to know each other a bit But on Everest expeditions there's no question that Sherpas carry most of the burden On a typical expedition the Sherpas do all the heavy lifting So you get to base camp And your base camp is set up Your tents are set up Someone is walking out and handing you tea Two weeks into the expedition And the Sherpa team is assembled Eight climbing Sherpas Six cooks And five base camp staff My name is Kaming Sherpa My name is Dawa Sherpa My name is Latpo Gelje Sherpa My name is Zhanglong Sherpa My name is Dazhongbo Sherpa I've been two times Everest Four times Everest The first time is 1988 This is the second time here Everest I am one time summit Everest 95 and 96 And also 97 I try to summit this time I have confidence that This year I'll be able to Step on this great mountain One of the Sherpas on the team, Dawa Will try to reach the summit of Everest For the first time Like other Sherpas He reveres the mountain As the dwelling place of a deity For me and for my community For all Sherpas This is real God We have lots of respect for this mountain I hope the great mother goddess Let me stand once on top of it Zhanglong Tenzing Norgay Will be supporting the expedition At base camp He climbed Everest in 1996 When 15 people died on the mountain And then promised his family He would never climb it again To his culture The mountain isn't just rock and ice It's the home of Chomolungma The mother goddess of the world Before facing the perils of the mountain The Sherpas and climbers show their respect By offering barley flour to the goddess There's so much danger on the mountain But they believe in the Chomolungma The mother goddess Everest They perform religious ceremonies They pray They light juniper Before they head up the mountain What we say is Walking into the lap of the mother I have been to Everest six times The difficulty is always the same We have to carry loads We also have to think about risk We always consult with the lamas And have them pray for us For protection So nothing happens to us Why do Sherpas climb? For money You have to take risk to earn it Five, six stories high And they do fall over quite regularly And you've just got to hope That you're not there when it happens If the ice fall decides to shift And big blocks fall over We're going to get killed When British climbers first set eyes On the Khumbu ice fall They declared it impassable In 1951 they made an attempt But failed to get through Stopped short by a huge crevasse at the top They would have to try again The following year If they could get a permit Today an unlimited number Of Everest permits are granted But back then Nepal issued only two permits per year And in 1952 The British got a nasty surprise The wily old Swiss Snapped them there and grabbed Not just one but two Permits to climb the mountain And prevented the British From climbing it when they wanted to The British really felt Everest was their mountain And it was a very difficult time for them In 1952 there was no route Or fixed rope We brought some thin rope From the villages That was all that we had then The largest crevasses Posed the biggest problem for the Swiss Could they be spanned with only rope There were big crevasses Very big Some were far too wide We also had to pull people across the ropes First we took loads And then people Although Sherpas had lived In the mountains for centuries Few had ever climbed on glaciers When foreign expeditions Provided them with strange new clothing And odd climbing tools Like crampons and ice axes It required some getting used to I had never used boots Windproof jackets Or any climbing equipment before And I damaged the clothing The first day with my crampons The Sherpas carried Tree trunks about 30 miles From the forest below To help span crevasses Did you ever get stuck With the crampons They used timbers To span these crevasses And now we've got On this one Three aluminum ladders That you used to Paint the side of your garage Lashed together with some old cord I'm a little nerve wracking Going over this Because we're 100 feet Down to the bottom of the crevasse With daring skill And a good sense of balance The Swiss were the first To successfully navigate Through the maze of ice For the first time ever Men looked into the valley Of the Western Koum The gateway to the upper mountain Five hours after leaving base camp And 2,000 feet higher on the mountain The team reaches camp one Above the icefall But they're not alone for long At camp one We set up our tents We had a beautiful spot And 24 hours later We had a Russian team Camp about 30 feet away from us And a Iranian team Camp another 20 feet away from us And it sort of shocked us That people would want To crowd us like that And then you've got issues Of hygiene Where people are going To the bathroom What they're doing With their pee bottles Perhaps because of the bad hygiene At camp one Overnight Peter Hillary becomes dangerously ill I don't know how many times I went out to vomit It sounded like It was all dry heaves I must admit When I called out to you I was pretty scared Yeah, I'm f***ing A Anyone would be Yeah, we'll get you through this Peter Hillary descends to base camp Where he can recover quickly At lower altitude But there's worry That he'll fall too far behind In the most critical step In climbing Mount Everest Adjusting to high altitude Brent Bishop And expedition leader Pete Athens Continue higher into the Western Koum The Western Koum is a valley That is formed by Everest The west shoulder of Everest Pelotse and Mpse Sometimes it's referred to As the Valley of Silence We're up here at above 20,000 feet And you'd think that it'd be really cold But it's gonna be about 90 plus degrees In the sun up here And it's just one big reflecting oven It's really hot It's rush hour on Everest And a hundred Sherpas Truck food and equipment Up to Camp 2 from base We Sherpas Having lived at high altitudes For so many generations Are able to adapt to this high altitude Better than any other humans in the world So therefore we're able to climb easier We born here We grown up here This is our land This is our place So it's pretty natural for us From Camp 2 to base Each Sherpa does it 15 to 20 times And from Camp 2 to South Kou Each Sherpa does it around 10 times You will never see a Sherpa Climbing this mountain of pleasure They climb because it's a lively wood It is very difficult for my children When I'm away I'm usually away for several months My oldest son Pimba is 5 And Pasang is 4 Hey Pimba The man asked you Is it difficult for you When I'm away from home There's a lot of money involved in this It's high stakes And it's worth it for them A lot of Sherpas They've made a lot of money They own property They're able to send their children To school in Kathmandu Sherpas are the unsung heroes Of mountaineering Sometimes I feel disappointed When people write books And they say Oh I got to the summit And it's all about them And I got to the summit With 5 Sherpas It's like OK How about having some names And where they're from Their age Maybe a little bit About their character Because it's all teamwork This year at Camp 2 We've got Approximately 6 expeditions A guided group That's being run by Guys from New Zealand There's a group of Korean climbers Who are up slightly above that And then another group of Americans Above that And I think we're going to see More people moving in here Carving out their presence Brent Bishop and Pete Athens Leave Camp 2 Unlike most climbers Who take the southeast ridge route They plan to climb The more technically difficult West ridge to the summit This route scares me It's a dangerous route And we're off by ourselves So that if things go wrong We might as well be a long way away Between the fear and the workload And what lies ahead And the duration of what lies ahead It's intimidating In 1963 Two Americans Willie Unsold and Tom Hornbein Made mountaineering history By pioneering a route up Everest's daunting west ridge Brent's father Climbed high on the west ridge But he reached the summit By the traditional Southeast ridge route For Brent Climbing the west ridge Will fulfill his dream Of attempting Everest The way his father did As an explorer Approaching the unknown When Willie Unsold and Tom Hornbein Did it 40 years ago It was the most significant American achievement in the Himalayas And still remains that today The west ridge Has only been climbed 6 times It's had 40 attempts on it And 23 people have been killed on it Because they're on their own They have to do triple the work Picking a route Fixing their own lines And carrying all their gear Pete's about to take one of the lines They're 100 meters each And run it out And put in another anchor Hey Pete Yeah You live? Yeah, I'm hooked in Okay Pete clipped the rope Through our high point Through a sling and a carabiner And a good ice crew And I'm paying the rope out to him I'm belaying him So that if he falls I can lock this belay device down And stop his fall They're headed to a distant couloir At 24,000 feet Where they'll put in their next camp You know, those early teams They had Hillary You know, that American team of 63 You know, they came up here And they, you know, just sort of Here was Everest in front of them And they had to figure it out Now you pay your $65,000 And you clip into the lines And still it's an unbelievable thing to do But you're not figuring it out Pete and I have already had Eight forays on the west ridge Trying to get to 24,000 feet Fixing our own lines Carrying loads And hauling gear up there So the workload Is just breaking me down Every day getting up And working hard And it's taking its toll on my body They'd planned to leave Camp 2 After a few days But they're pinned down by the wind And can't move higher Peter Hillary now recovered And at Camp 2 Watches climbers trying to reach Camp 3 On the Lhotse face What we've had here Over the last 24 hours Is jet stream winds Just blasting over the summit of Everest And you can see tents Have been flattened and ripped All around the cab And we've got collapsed tents everywhere Pete and Brent have been forced Off their west ridge route Wind chill Poor visibility And the possibility of losing camp Pose the biggest danger Some of the Sherpas Have been standing for hours Pushing against the tent poles So they won't collapse Others are outside Tying down reinforcements Their backs to the wall To their tents And they're holding on Probably blowing at about 60 miles an hour out there The weather reports that we have Is supposed to go on For about another day and a half At least Double this on the summit The windstorm dies As quickly as it had arrived For the Sherpas It is a clear warning From the mountain deity That it's time to retreat off Everest Back to base camp to rest Before trying to go higher The incredible thing about 1953 Is what was happening at the time The Second World War just ended The whole of Europe was a mess It had been bombed to the ground And the world was trying to rebuild itself There was a lot of optimism And then suddenly in the UK There was a coronation Of a new young queen And just to make it even better A British expedition Climbed to the summit of Mount Everest And it was an incredible time What should have been a celebration For Tenzing, Hillary and the expedition leader Colonel Hunt Turned into trying times They trekked out of the mountains And progressively people Came out of the villages And threw garlands of flowers And red dye to bless them They arrived in Kathmandu And quite a contingent of media were there Everybody shouted Our Tenzing climbed to the top of the world As if he was God And Hillary and Hunt And the rest of the team Were sort of ignored I think it was stressful There was a lot of pressure Put upon them Who actually put their boot On the summit first During that time My father signed a statement And my father didn't know How to read or write And he just signed it And apparently that statement Said that he climbed first The whole British team got upset Then Colonel Hunt got angry And he wrote a statement saying that Tenzing is just a Sherpa He does not have Technical experience So he's not able to climb first A lot of backbiting Between the British and my father He was totally innocent He had no idea what was going on After he climbed the mountain His life became more complicated A lot of offers coming in People putting words in his mouth Having him sign papers Deep down in his heart He might have thought that Maybe I shouldn't have climbed this mountain I think my father and Hillary They were puppets Of the big political world Later on they signed a statement Saying that we reached Almost together Is what the public Would have to live with For another 40 years Tenzing and Hillary Made an agreement Not to tell the world Who was first More importantly They wanted to be known As equal partners The beekeeper from New Zealand And the Sherpa From the foothills of Everest It's another morning at Camp 2 It's about 5.45 Another beautiful day But we wouldn't know Because we haven't been out yet Peter, Hillary and Dawah Leave Camp 2 for their move up to 3 They're now climbing as partners Like Peter's father and Tenzing And will need to rely on each other In the event of an accident It's the ethic of climbing The brotherhood of the rope And some partnerships Are more productive than others Today suddenly I'm climbing With Peter, Hillary His father, Sir Edmund Hillary Is such a famous guy His nickname is Godfather of Khumbu He did so much Godfather of Sir Edmund Hillary Sherpas are engineers They are doctors They are pilots And, you know A few of them still climb like me But still, it's a very big thing Alright, we're getting up We're getting up We're already late Two experienced mountaineers Moving fast My pee bottle is frozen This thing's all slippery Sometimes I can't believe Sometimes I turn around and see Peter, Hillary's side behind me And I think to myself Oh, what a bright day In 1952, Tenzing Norgay Was the Sherpa leader For both of the Swiss Attempts on Everest They knew he had more experience Than anyone on the mountain These would be his 5th and 6th Expeditions to Everest To the Swiss, Tenzing was more Than a climbing Sherpa He was treated as a full member Of the team He was very close to the Swiss Especially with Ramon Lambert They were almost like brothers Because they went through so much On this mountain together The Swiss were mountain people They identified with the Sherpas And treated them as equals Sharing meals and tents with them It was the Swiss and the Sherpas In 1952 Who discovered the route Climbers still use today They went higher than anyone Had ever been They were basically the pioneers Opening this route Through the icefall Into the Koum Which is now What we call the classic route Which everybody takes today Through the Southeast Ridge These guys had no idea What to expect No idea what was going to Happen to them Many believe the Swiss Deserve half the glory For the British achievement On Everest a year later The British learned a lot From the Swiss experience And from my father Being on this mountain They used a lot of the oxygen That was left by the Swiss A lot of the food And some of the equipment So they did benefit From the Swiss expedition Eight hours after leaving Camp 3 Peter Hillary and Dawah Sherpa Have reached the South Coal People at the South Coal Are really pushed to their limits The feeling that I get Is one of fear Because this is a place That sometimes people Don't come home from It's extreme I think it was a group Of German climbers Who described Going above 8,000 meters As going into the death zone If you make mistakes Up above 26,000 feet There's a very high chance That you will pay very dearly After 10 expeditions This will be Dawah's first chance To attempt the summit I respect this mountain very much If I climb it once That's going to be enough for me It's very hard It's very tough We have a saying Before you climb a mountain Pay all the debts Because no guarantee You'll be back to home Jambling, jambling This is South Coal, do you copy? Back on the southeast ridge route Peter, Hilary and Dawah Are poised to leave for the summit But the winds are holding them back Do you understand that? No This could be it For Peter, Hilary and Dawah's Summit attempt this year High winds are forecast to continue Disheartened Peter, Hilary calls his father On a satellite phone Hi, Dad We've really struck a patch of strong winds It looks like we're going to be forced Down off the mountain I don't think we're going to get up At this time, Dad 50 years after his father's success Peter has to face disappointment The thing that really counteracts That disappointment Is that if you don't turn around You're probably going to die So the benefit is that You turn around and live Dawah is even more distraught About turning back He has a son at home with cerebral palsy And doesn't envision coming back again For another attempt Sometimes life is bigger than this mountain If bad weather or whatever Go to see our family Maybe you don't come back I tried my best But forget it I had some kind of frustration inside of me Because it was my chance To climb this mountain I was so angry with this mountain Because mentally I took this mountain Not a pile of rock I took it as a live thing Which can feel, which can understand I was so angry with this mountain I said, you go to hell I'm not going to come back In 1952, on the Swiss expedition Tenzing and Raymond Lambert Suffered an even more bitter heartache They got to within 800 feet of the summit And were forced to turn back It was an impressive achievement But a lifelong disappointment for Tenzing He always wished that He had climbed it in 1952 with the Swiss Immediately after the expedition Tenzing, exhausted from two attempts in one year Was bedridden He was in hospital The Swiss had flown him down And he had lost a lot of weight He was very, very sick A special envoy was sent by the British To meet with Tenzing in the hospital Make a personal appeal And convince him to join them For one last attempt on Everest And despite the family Telling him, well, maybe you should think about Not going up Because you're not well You're weak right now He agreed to go with the British in 1953 As he descends to base camp From their failed summit attempt Dawa, despondent Has decided to abandon the expedition Pete Athens, now at base camp Tries to call him back by radio Dawa, did anything happen at Camp 4 That upset you Or what happened up there As far as, is there anything You can tell us at all On my summit at that mountain Maybe someday I have to come back To climb it again Yeah, you know, sometimes The goddess tests us pretty hard For me, it wasn't until My fifth expedition That I was able to summit So it's sometimes hard to say What the goddess knows And what she has in store for us Sometimes we have to perfect ourselves Before she'll let us climb I lost all the faith in God to myself I hate God Please, Dawa, just come back You know, it's your own schedule today And, you know, please No one bears any animosity Or ill will towards you We just want you to come back So we can work with you, okay Yeah, I'm coming back this time I'm sorry for my stupid behavior Hey, Dawa, we all do stupid things And we all get a time out Every now and then, right You know all the stupid things That I've done If they want to get anyone on the summit The two teams will have to Consolidate their efforts And climb the southeast ridge route together This means Brent and Pete Have to abandon their dream Of climbing the West Ridge For Pete Athens This will be his last climb on Everest So the decision is extremely difficult I think we just need to Fortify our strengths really Behind one objective now Climbing the West Ridge For me would have been A really nice way to close 16 expeditions of going to Everest It's not going to happen What's going to happen Is that I'm going to get Another chance to To go back to the southeast ridge It's just disappointing Abandoning the West Ridge It's painful It's a dream route And now to move back over To a route that we've both done That's mainly fixed It's, you know, it's disappointing I mean, it's We really have no choice The weather windows haven't been there We're beaten up We need a little bit more support And we've run out of time 4 in the morning at Camp 2 Sherpas and climbers Emerge from their tents To begin an ascent to the South Col The climbers will push A 4,500-foot ascent to the South Col In the footsteps of Hillary and Tenzing A climbing duo Whose strength was legend I don't think there was any doubt That my father, Ed Hillary, and Tenzing Norgay Were the fittest, strongest, most acclimatized And frankly performing by far the best Of anyone on the mountain But in 1953, expedition leader John Hunt Passed over Hillary and Tenzing And selected two British climbers To be the first to try for the summit John Hunt had an incredibly difficult situation This was a British expedition This was the first ascent of Mount Everest And I can completely understand That he would have preferred His two British climbers to have summited first Tenzing was Sherpa And Hillary from New Zealand So they would have to wait in reserve On the South Col The first team returned defeated They made an altitude record They got very high on the mountain But they were very intimidated By the ridge line that lies ahead The door was now open for Tenzing and Hillary This South Col, I quit I thought I won't be able to climb this mountain But I'm back again And hopefully tomorrow Mother Goddess will let stand us on the top There's only a few hours to rest And it won't be a comfortable night They'll leave at 11 p.m. It takes about an hour or so Just to get everything organized You lose your head lamp You can't figure out where you put it Even though you're probably sitting on it And 11 o'clock rolls around And it's time to leave Brent and Pete with a team of Sherpas Have been breaking trail most of the morning I was in the lead after a few hours I've never seen that much snow, ever I mean I was in chest deep snow Then once we got on the ridge It was blown pretty clear Pete isn't just breaking trail for his own team Three other expeditions are moving up behind him We look back and see this line of 30 or 40 people Basically drafting us What do you make of all these people behind us Better to be in front How long till the south summit you reckon Two hours Moving at extreme altitude It's a study in timeless motion People take two, three, four steps And then they stop and they lean on their ice axe And they're just hyperventilating Dragging air through that regulator From the oxygen bottle You've got to try to temper your rate of movement To what you can sustain with your breathing Which isn't very much And finally we got on south summit And then I saw the real summit of Everest I have seen it only in posters And I read about it only in books It's kind of, some kind of fantasy And my eyes are full of tears It is an intimidating ridge line It's like a bread knife It's a serrated knife edge You can't go along the crest of it So in fact you have to choose One side or the other And everyone goes on the Nepalese side Away from the corners It's a scary ridge It's exposed There are a lot of places where If you make a mistake you're going to die Today fixed ropes aid climbers in the thin air But Hillary and Tenzing had no security What lay ahead was a rock outcrop Later called the Hillary Step No one knew if it was even climbable Dad and Tenzing they were chopping their own steps They were roped together in true alpine fashion And when they came to the Hillary Step Tenzing belayed my father as he climbed his way up Today a Sherpa group have gone up And they fixed a rope So really quite a different situation Not nearly as self-reliant and alone As my father and Tenzing were With some 40 climbers following behind Too many people have clipped into one fixed rope The tension on the rope is pulling Peter Hillary Off the Hillary Step He can't move With everybody pulling You cannot move here You have to stagger people Okay Tell people to drop down They're too tight You guys got to stagger your people That's a product of the guiding And the commercial trips People want a stairway to the summit Half a century ago Tenzing and Hillary reached the top of the Hillary Step And only 100 vertical feet Stood between them and history There is no such thing as reaching the summit first or second Hillary and Tenzing climbed it for passion And for exploration Not for competition And I think my father's bottom line was It doesn't matter who climbed up there first They both relied on each other to get up there If one was not there The other one wouldn't be there My father has never said anything different to me Other than that we were a team We were tied together on a rope At times Tenzing had to hold me To prevent me from falling And similarly it was my duty to secure him And look after him We climbed it together 50年後 他的父親在赫拉斯特的第一次爬行 Peter Hillary爬上了最終的一步 What do you think Peter It's good to be here Peter Athens Is here for an unprecedented seventh time More than any other westerner There were upwards of 50 people on top There were people coming up from the north side as well So it was a little bit of an international scene There were Italians and Hungarians We really couldn't even get a good interview spot For Peter right on the very top Which is what I wanted Which is kind of funny But we took it in stride He was a little bit off to the side Which I think worked out better Base camp, base camp This is Everest Summit over Congratulations on getting to the top Thank you Jambling Everybody is here Everybody is safe All five Sherpa members All three foreign members I'm pretty low on oxygen We're gonna have to move pretty quickly To do our calls And get our photos taken over All right guys Don't stay up there too long The weather is moving in So take your pictures Make your calls And start heading down as soon as possible Over Dad it's Peter We're on the summit Can you hear us Dad Hello are you there Peter Dad it's Peter here Can you hear me Oh yeah I can hear you Oh good Well we're on the summit of Everest We've been here for 40 minutes It's cloudy all around But we're on top of it all It's an amazing outlook Dad How was the Hillary Step Look I've got to say Not only the Hillary Step But the climb up onto the south summit It's really steep and really exposed I feel really emotional about being up here Because you guys What you did Well nearly 50 years ago It's just incredible I mean we had fixed ropes all the way You guys cut steps Basically into the unknown And up that jolly Hillary Step To see Peter call Sir Ed from the summit It was amazing Anyway Dad don't worry I'm not gonna do it again It was sort of a bittersweet moment for me Because I wanted to talk to my father And tell him how proud I was of him And how proud I was to be on the summit again There are all sorts of questions I have About how they climbed Because that was 40 years ago And they had no support after the high camp No Sherpas breaking trail for them No fixed line Sorry Peter I'm getting a bit emotional Here I am setting up Summit of Mount Everest Speaking to people who matter most to me I can hardly believe it I'll try not just to cry the whole time Those who have stood on the highest point on earth Return with hard earned wisdom Having caught a brief glimpse Into what it might have been like For the two men who were first I feel a very strong kinship with Tenzing He always approached this mountain Not as a soldier to an enemy Not as someone trying to have some type of conquest But something like a child That climbs into the lap of its mother I don't think he ever came here And forced his will on this mountain I think he came to this mountain With compassion and love And I think that's why he was successful I was very happy And I said hey look Mother Goddess This is my first and last time I'm not going to come back Anyway thank you very much To keep everyone safe And to let us stand on the top of it
