Logistical gear

     When we projected this expedition, we intended to create two teams for the logistical coordination of the project, as well as for the shooting, the broadcast of the event and the basecamps placement. One of the groups would stay with us and the other one would go further preparing the following ascent. Every team would be comprised by the following people:
A Nepalese stares at our cameraman, Alejandro Rocha, while preparing the filming equipment.
 

  • A specialist high altitude doctor.
  • A basecamp organizer alpinist, who would coordinate with the first group the dates for placing the camps on the following summit and would be in charge of contracting the necessary means for the shifts.
  • A sound technician, responsible for retransmissions and communications.
  • A film technician, responsible for filming images from the basecamp to be broadcasted.


     Finally, our purposes collapsed and the logistical gear was reduced to a cameraman. This was one of the major reasons for us not to be able to complete the defiance.
