DUDH KOSI - Video
(Canoeing Down Everest)

At the foot of
the highest mountain on earth a team of British canoeists put their
kayaks into the freezing waters of the Dudh Kosi river that springs
from the Khumbu Icefall to canoe the 90 miles of fast~flowing rapids
to the Sun Kosi.
With
the river running unusually high and at over 30 miles an hour in places,
the canoeists battle with waterfalls, whirlpools and giant waves where
the slightest mistake could be fatal.
After
three days' paddling, a canoe is jammed under a huge stopper and the
canoeist is swept into the freezing and relentless waters. There is
only one chance to save him before he is sucked beneath the waves for
the last time.
"That's
the best adventure film I have ever seen." - Doug Scott - First
British mountaineer to climb Everest.
