This is Stone Skimming [VIDEO]

The World Stone Skimming Championships is held on the tiny west coast island of Easdale. An island blessed with millions of perfect skimming stones after its slate mining industrial past was brought to an abrupt end by a huge storm. Water filled the immense quarries and created the world’s first stone skimming arena. The competition has always been, and is to this day, a community fundraising event, but tensions are now mounting between the small island community and the skimmers whose abilities have far outgrown the limitations of the 63m quarry.

Everest: Sherpa rescues Malaysian man from 'death zone', carrying him on his back [VIDEO]

A Nepali Sherpa guide has hauled a Malaysian climber down from an area of Mount Everest known as the 'death zone'.

Gelje Sherpa found the stranded climber suffering in extreme cold at the deadly height while leading another climber.

With the mountaineer strapped to his back, he carried him 600m down to where he could be evacuated before returning to Malaysia last week.
