Hikers escape massive Mount Everest avalanche

Any moment caught on camera when hikers on Mount Everest came face to face with an avalanche and survive. Lara, you have the story for us. It's so scary. So an avalanche is, of course, something every experienced hiker learns how to deal with in that worst case scenario. And thank goodness this group knew what to do when they saw the snow racing down the mountain right towards them will touch us. Dude, it's gonna touch us. I just saw this monster avalanche this morning. One climber recounting the moment he came face to face with an avalanche on Mount Everest. We've been hearing these avalanches all night and normally they will go on for a second and then disappear. But this one didn't. This one just got louder and louder. Oliver foreign capturing the video in Nepal as a massive wall of snow comes barreling towards his tent. Stick your head out, bro. Quickly quickly right here, right here. Oh my God. It was about two apartment blocks high of just snow coming towards you off a mountain. We got away really lucky as the avalanche closes in. Oliver and his cameraman raced to zip up the tent. Then the snow passing over and around them. We were probably like half covered in snow. So we just upset the top and squeezed out at the top there and walked around and made sure everyone was okay. It's not uncommon for big avalanches to have a large powder cloud, which is really what you're seeing in the video. Those could be damaging if you're close to them. Oliver and the group uninjured and pressing on continuing their climb this morning, hoping to set a new world record for the fastest journey from sea level to the summit of Mount Everest. And now to be in a position to actually have the opportunity to climb this beautiful mountain, I had to feel so happy and just like disbelief that we're actually here. And so lucky and may is the busiest time of year at Mount Everest, with hundreds of climbers making their way through the base camps, waiting for the weather to clear to make that attempt to reach the summit. Guys. Wow, that was a close call. Yeah, I know. But to get the video like that, I think keep on going. Yep, that's it. Thank you, Larry.
