Video of Sharpe Alive on Everest

Friday, June 2, 2006
MountEverest.net (who else?) also has word today about a video of David Sharpe, still alive on Everest. It seems some climbers on the North side of Everest claim that a video exists of David Sharpe, the British climber who died on Everest, speaking with some Sherpa's who were wearing helmet cameras while filiming an upcoming special for the Discovery Channel. Worse yet, the story goes on to say that the guides with Sharpe failed to issue any kind of alert that he was missing, overdue or, in distress on the mountain. You'll recall, that the whole incident drew the ire of Sir Edmund Hillary, who thought it unthinkable that anyone would be left to die on the mountain.
