00:13Everest has been summited over 13,000 times but only five people have ever
00:19climbed the direct north face and no one in the world has ever skied it
00:29it's this huge goal of ours and to do it with somebody that you're in love with
00:34it just felt special it's really hard to leave my kids
00:41what do you guys think do you want to go with us
00:43I'm at an 8,000 meter peak it only takes like a month to get to the top
00:49the first thing we need to do is put together the right team
00:52these Sherpas have climbed Everest 10, 15 times but there's a lot more unknowns on the direct north face
01:00then why do it how many people have eaten at our dinner table have died
01:04that might take a while
01:07I've suffered a lot of loss in my life and the mountains have always helped me keep going
01:12to be a part of sharing how Jim's been able to deal with such incredible loss
01:18it's pretty amazing that sort of emotional relationship on an expedition
01:23I think that is how we move forward
01:26this is all no fall zone
01:29there's active avalanches
01:31you have a broken leg
01:32no
01:36was there a part of this that was supposed to be fun
01:39it's the part when you get down and you tell the stories
01:42oh right
01:46it's an experience like nowhere else
01:53the higher you get in elevation
01:57there's this connection
01:59and I don't feel anywhere else
02:03even if we make it to the top
02:06I have to ski down
02:07the 9,000 foot face
02:09oh my god
02:11we love you brother
02:14I love you too
