It's known because the human body, even with supplemental oxygen, can't survive for long.

Oh my gosh.

How many feet is that up?

That's at 26,000 feet where the death zone starts, but Everest is 29,000 feet.

Oh my gosh.

And so I pushed for the summit.

My very first push, no, I didn't have any guides with me, just one Sherpa who was climbing with a guy by the name of Pasang Bodhi, incredible Nepalese Sherpa.

And we got caught in a massive storm.

I mean, the weather came in, winds blowing, you know, 50, 60 mile per hour winds.

And we quickly know we got to abandon our summit attempt.

It took, we were lucky to even get our tent up, took two or three hours, had to descend off the mountain.

Thought my entire project, you know, had disappeared, but we kind of found the strength and courage to go back up

in another massive, you know, challenging storm, but made it to the summit three days later.

But you'll love this.

So I come back down, I get back into camp four, into the death zone.

I've summited Everest.

It's a beautiful moment for me.

And I'm one mountain away from setting the world record.

And I'm about two months ahead of schedule.

So I'm like, if I get to Nali, like I could probably do this.
