In this final episode of the series, broadcaster and journalist, and self confessed Everest expert Steve Bunce tells Caroline Barker the tale of a man from Kazakhstan who day and night on the highest mountain, saved people from a frozen death with a series of rescues that seemed impossible. It is truly breathless at that altitude and in the thin air our hero went beyond reasonable human endurance to save lives. With a diversion back to his favourite subject of surfing Steve tells us briefly about Eddie Aikau, a man that took on the Pacific Ocean. The expression “Eddie would go” is still commonly heard in Hawaii. But it’s the tale of elite mountaineer Anatoli Boukreev that ends this series of Bunce’s Tales of the Extraordinary.
