Looks closer to me. That's ~2.3 mi down and it means 3.2 mi of horizontal structure is missing.

If he's near the top, that number is correct.

Here's a good aerial photo I found of the Everet Complex as seen from the West.

To the left is the North Face of Everest.

The bowl in the center is the Western Cwm. The peak directly at the back of the bowl is Lhotse and the mountain making up the right (South) side of the Western Cwm is Nuptse.

The beautiful Mountain poking up in the far distance is Makalu.

Wasn't David Brashear's IMAX crew the one behind Rob Hall's in 1996?

Thanks. I'll have to study these to get oriented.
