Babu Sherpa: 21 Hours on Top of Mount Everest

In May 1999, Mountain Hardwear built a custom expedition tent for Babu Chiri Sherpa in just days. That same month, Babu arrived in the Himalayas, summited Everest and proceeded to camp on top for 21 hours. This impressive act has never been repeated.

Today, our friends at Explorersweb.com generously delivered us the rare and historic video footage of Babu's feat. Hold your breath and enjoy!
