Day to Die For

On the night of 10-11 May 1996, eight climbers perished in what remains the worst disaster in Everest's history. Graham Ratcliffe, the first British climber to reach the summit of Mount Everest twice, was a first-hand witness, having spent the night on Everest's South Col at 26,000 ft, sheltering from the deadly storm.

In noaptea de 10-11 mai 1996, opt alpinisti au pierit in ceea ce ramane cel mai mare dezastru din istoria Everestului. Graham Ratcliffe, primul alpinist britanic care a ajuns de doua ori pe varful Muntelui Everest, a fost un martor de prima mana, petrecand noaptea pe Colul de Sud al Everestului, la 26.000 de metri, adapostindu-se de furtuna mortala.
