Mammut sets another milestone of alpinism

#project 360 - Mount Everest

breathtaking view from highest point on earth

Mount Everest is by its altitude of 8848 metres the highest point and by that very fact the most famous mountain on earth. Its ascent history and particularly its first ascent via the Southern climbing route are representing milestones of alpinism.

Now, at the beginning of the climbing season 2016, a milestone in another field – in digital cartography – was reached: For the first time, the Southern climbing route, beginning at the Nepalese basecamp up to the “Roof of the World”, is documented by breathtaking 360°-videography and -photography. A small group of four Sherpas attended to the honourable task to bring the Everest into the living rooms of the fans of alpine sports by these three-dimensional recordings. Likewise, it is an homage to the first climbers Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay who have already chosen this route in 1953. A customized backpack with altogether six cameras facilitates the perfect omnidirectional view.
