Everest 2009: First Ascent Team YouTube Channel

The First Ascent Team, which consists of a few climbers you might have heard of, guys like Ed Viesturs and Dave Hahn, are posting daily video dispatches to their very own YouTube channel which you can find by clicking here.

There are already four videos on the site, and it's clear the team is making good progress. They arrived in Lukla two days ago and you can checkout that arrival in the video below.

Video of the World's Most Dangerous Hike

This one comes courtesy of the Best Hike Blog (who else?) and is a great video of Mount Hua in China, often called the "World's Most Dangerous Hike". The video was shot as part of a television show hosted by Robin Esrock. Check out more of Robin over at his website ModernGonzo.com.

Enjoy the video. Just don't look down!

Lauren Lee On Captain Fantastic

In what can best be described as a harrowing dance of strength, stamina, and agility, this video shows rock diva Lauren Lee climbing the Captain Fantastic route in the Virgin River Gorge. The route is rated as a 5.13C, but Lauren says it's harder than other routes of that difficulty that she's done in the past.

Excellent video. Thanks to the All Climbing Blog for this one.
