On the Discovery Channel's website you can climb Mount Everest via sherpas' cams without leaving your warm home. The trip is astonishing and takes you far beyond the still-photo views of climbing a mountain. You may even get vertigo as Phura climbs a ladder pinned to the mountainside, or watching through Karsang's cam as his head moves around while climbing over huge boulders on a steep face.
The view is dizzying
Three sherpas are carrying cams on their helmets so you see the daunting challenges that face climbers on Mount Everest from many viewpoints. The videos are synched so you can watch what each is doing during the same time span. (These are videos from a climb earlier in 2006.)
Discovery Channel's "Everest Beyond the Limit"
The Discovery Channel has several pages devoted to this particular Mount Everest climb, which include the sherpas' cams, conversations with the climbers and even an interactive game called The Razor's Edge, which lets you challenge Mount Everest.
