Will Reeve reports on a historic extreme sports achievement for Robin Roberts’ primetime special, “The Year: 2025.”
The segment revisits Jim Morrison’s unprecedented descent of Mount Everest. Morrison did not climb the mountain. Instead, he rode a specialized mountain bike down its most dangerous path.
He completed the feat on the mountain's Khumbu Icefall route. This area is known for its deep cracks and shifting ice towers. Climbers consider it the most hazardous section of the standard Everest ascent.
Morrison’s successful ride is the first of its kind. It marks a new, dangerous frontier in high-altitude adventure sports. The full story will be featured in the upcoming television special.
