Answer:
Today, Ballinger is on a mission to complete his twelfth consecutive year assisting teams on their quest for Everest’s summit. But this isn’t the only incredible mission Ballinger has queued up for this summer – he also intends to summit K2, the second highest peak in the world, without the use of supplemental oxygen. As he explains it, the critical area of concern on both missions will be in what is known as the “Death Zone.”
“‘The Death Zone’ is the altitude above 26,000 feet where the human body absolutely cannot exist for any extended period of time without supplemental oxygen,” says Ballinger. “Even with bottled oxygen, you have a very limited amount of time that your body can survive up there. You can’t eat, you can’t digest food, you can’t sleep, and physical movement and thought processes are staggeringly slowed down. There are a lot of unknowns that come along with that.”
Extremely high death rate. Unbreathable altitudes. Precipitous icefalls and rockfalls. Death Zones. Why would anyone consider climbing Everest?
ASN sat down with Ballinger to find out what kind of mental fortitude it takes for someone to summit world-class peaks without supplemental oxygen, to hear about the dietary and physical regiments required in order to prepare for a summit like Everest, and to find out how much it costs to attempt summiting the highest peak in the world.

First off, you’ve climbed Mount Everest numerous times and led many expeditions to the summit – a journey that typically requires supplemental oxygen to make it to the summit. Why did you recently decide to attempt a summit without bottled oxygen?
I’ve been a mountain guide on Everest for a long time, but I’m also always trying to push my personal limits. I think what drove me to climbing Everest in the first place was that extreme driving force on my mental, emotional, and physical state, when the outcome is completely unknown. And because of genetics or my experience or whatever it is, it turns out that with supplemental oxygen, I know I can get on top and summit every single time and get back down. So I no longer had that unknown experience that I feel is the whole point of going to Everest
