Everest climb remains supreme test for mountaineers
Dr. Dee Bennett Crouch of Boulder says Everest keeps its brutal appeal as climbers face shifting ice, jet stream winds, and oxygen deprivation. The physician was part of an American ascent that became the second to reach the summit amid hurricane winds and avalanche damage. He notes the mind numbing lack of air, the misery of the climb, and the mystique of saying I climbed Everest.
