Adventure filmmaking expeditions from sea to summit.  Mt. Everest was a collaboration with premiere Canadian guiding company, Peak Freaks.  Our successful summit bid included two rescues in the Death Zone and made international news in Men’s Journal, Outside, Explorer’s Web, etc.  In the end, adventures aren’t about conquering big waves or big mountains.  They’re about braving a journey of the human spirit.  I am passionate about projects that involve challenge, change & teamwork.  Here’s some excerpts:

Taking a stand on Everest summit

The video shows some quick clips from our successful 2008 Mt. Everest summit.

With the Chinese government enforcing the closing of the mountain with armed “snipers” and two harrowing rescues in the Death Zone, this was certainly an adventure to write home about.

Respect for Tim & Becky Rippel’s Peak Freaks Expeditions and the climbers, sherpas and guides who risked their lives not only for the summit, but to save another climber’s life.
