Army on Everest

In 1976, two British military climbers scaled Mount Everest to stand at the tip of the world. Now, to mark the anniversary of the first summit by U.K. soldiers, three teams of British Army mountaineers are ascending the fearsome mountain once again. On this expedition, however, the main team tackles the icy slope through a more perilous route, and all three pack a spectacular array of wireless and digital tools. Follow their trek to the summit through the team members' blog posts, podcasts, photos (including 360-degree images), and video footage—all while keeping toasty warm in your own base camp.
