K2: Shared Summits Expedition Chris Warner at Google

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:01:59 -0700

On July 20, 2007 twenty five climbers set out for the summit of K2. Eighteen would reach the summit. Two would die. On a mountain where one-in-seven summiters die descending, it was the most successful day in K2’s epic history. Leading an international expedition, and filming it for NBC TV, Chris Warner captured the mountain, in all its brutality. Now he is bringing his Emmy nominated footage, and tales of heroism and partnership, narcissism and cowardice, to the Google community. The talk was given as part of a book tour, for High Altitude Leadership: www.sharedsummits.com

"The new Black Diamond Blizzard is their most functional, comfortable ice and mixed climbing harness. With a compression-molded bullhorn waistbelt and added lumbar support, the Blizzard offers great support when belaying on multi-pitch routes or hanging M-climbing. Snow shedding, durable fabrics on both the interior and exterior provide a hydrophobic barrier. It has a wider fit range than BD's other harnesses, accommodating several layers of clothing for colder temps. Adjustable leg loops allow for all-season use and nine Hypalon Ice Clipper slots allow for customized racking. Comes with one Ice Clipper.
