Adidas Everest advert

[scobey]

I've just seen the adidas advert with the two guys who climbed everest while they were still teenagers and now they're going to go from the North pole to the South using only man power and natural power to cover the 22,000 mile journey.

I hope they make big documentary about the journey.

I saw the ad too...only mad dogs and englishmen

An absolutely oustanding acheivement on the Everest climb. Did they make a documentary about it? It'd be great if they took a load of photos down their route through from north to south pole and posted the pics in our gallery

Looks like they're starting the 'impossible journey' on 24th March.

Here's the best of British luck to them.

Not sure if they made a first documentary, but they should definitely make one of the next trip. 22,000 is just unimaginably long distance to travel - as much as most people would drive in two years, but they're doing it over snow and and ice, mountains, jungles, deserts

When they get back they should be knighted on the spot...an incredible inspiration for young people, and everyone else
