Dr Roger McMorrow, John Burke and Rob Mortell joined Off the Ball for a special Saturday Panel which discussed their successful attempts at summiting Mount Everest.
The three men talked about their experiences from writing 'goodbye letters' before departing on their expeditions to the dangers they experienced along the way.
Dr. McMorrow recalled one occasion where a young Nepalese woman required the help of over 30 people to eventually get her to safety.
"She'd been essentially left for dead at about the balcony just 400 metres below the summit," he told Nathan.
"An American climber called Dave Hann found her - she was cerebral dema - a small girl only 50 kilos. He dragged her down to our tents at Camp 4 and then for the rest of the evening and most of the next day a team about 32 people managed to carry her down to Camp 3. We looked after her for a night.
"But, to rescue one 50 kilo girl - it took about 30 people all working together and you can just see how the difficulty with an 80 kilo man who gets sick and can't - you as an individual or even a pair or three people - you're physically not going to be able to rescue that person," he added.
