Haha, you missed it? It is actually my most clicked video so far! You know, when I was hanging in this wall I thought, "man I should record more of this stuff". So I took the camera shot. Camp3 is very small and narrow and has not a lot of space and I felt "okish" with the location.

@@norrdinenouar thats a very natural thought to come and so is the one immediately after that: no, man its freaking dangerous! 😂

I am happy, that you enjoyed being on my journey with me! I will try to take you guys with me in the future!

Bro! Thank you so much for your comment! Yeah Everest was tough, but very important for my development! Lets talk soon buddy!

You guys can be 100% sure, I will train harder than ever and prepare myself better than ever! Ill will come back! Stronger than ever! Greetings back to Saskatchewan Canada! Ill keep you guys excited with more 8000er climbs in an even better style in the upcoming years!

Thank you so much! Ill try to keep these climbs coming!

Happe to hear you enjoy it! I will keep sharing my journey! Next video, is my failed attempt on Everest!

Thx so much! Climbing Annapurna was a joy! She is simply beautiful! Glad you enjoyed and appreciate it! I will try to to keep more good mountain content coming!

Awesome! Thx for the feedback! Ill try to keep em coming!

Hey Abhi! Thank you for your nice comment! Glad you enjoy the style! It is very simple but honest! Where are you right now?

@@norrdinenouar definitely I did !!! I am in Bangkok Thailand 🇹🇭 have you been here ?

Aww thank you! Annapurna I was hard and tricky but I really enjoyed it! She is just a pure beauty!

Yes, she (Annapurna) is a real beauty! Thank you for your excitement!

Hey little brother! Thanks so much! Ill be back home soon! Gonna book my flight now!

Thank you so much! Annapurna was kind with me! Everest was not! I got kicked off the mountain :D

@norrdinenouar there is a life time to keep trying 🗻 💪🏼 we will keep following whatever mountain

Thank you! She is astonishing and beautiful! Yet very deadly and can be unforgiving!

Thank you so much! It was a majestic feeling to sit up there at that moment! Even though my brain was not functioning anymore :P

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much! I really enjoyed Annapurna even though it was tough!

Thank you so much! Happy you enjoyed it! I will keep the mountain content coming!

Yes, she is a beauty, deadly, hard, unforgiving but beautiful!

Thank you so much Nicholas! Everest defeated me! I will upload the failed attempt soon! I will be back stronger though!

Norrdine, what you've achieved in summiting Annapurna 1 solo, without oxygen is a far far greater achievement than Everest. You have joined an elite group and are the true definition of a mountaineer my friend on a much harder technical climb. As for Everest, (in my mind), well it's merely become a mountain tourist destination which I hate. If I had the money, I'm sure that I could pay someone to drag my sad arse up to the summit so that I could boast about it and get a bunch of internet likes. Congrats again and much love and respect from my crew here in Australia. You are inspirational to us all mate. PS. And please don't view Everest as a defeat or loss. Any loss is merely a learning curve. Take care, be safe and looking forward to hearing about your future adventures. N.

Oh yes, it was breath taking! I was so happy, that the sky cleared up! Thank you for the support!

Haha, nothing worse than a chaotic and unorganized tent😅. Guess thats the German in me🤣

Thank you! It takes a lot of hard work and discipline to reach a goal like this! Next mountain? I just got defeated by Everest, you will see the video soon!

Thank you body! Hope to visit California one day and climb the beautiful mountains there!

yaaaay! I will upload my failed Everest attempt soon! Recovery! Thank you I am completely destroyed after Everest :X

Thank you so much! Yes it was not easy, but the harder the challenge the bigger the joy! Unfortunately I was not so lucky on my Everest attempt just a week ago! I had to admit defeat and turn around! But I am alive and well!

Hey buddy! There are so many little things and tricks, that really make the difference! I will upload more stuff like that in the future!

Thank you!!1

thx a lot! Was a hard piece of work!

Yes, she was very kind to me to let me down safely! Thank you so much for your excitement!

Thx Gerard! Thank you for cheering for me!

haha! yes it is probably more enjoyable than climbing an 8000er without oxygen. Thank you so much for the appreciation!

Thank you buddy!

Thx so much!

Awww thank you so much!

My dad did base camp aged 73 it was the highlight of his life. I love watching 🏔️ videos because it reminds me of him and how much he enjoyed his time on the 🏔️

Thank you 🙌

Hmmm, I could upload like a comprehensive review and analysis if you want. Any special topics you want covered`?

@@norrdinenouar I'm mostly interested in what you've learned from this expedition. Would you change anything. Where did you deviate from your plans? What worked well and what didn't in terms of logistics, equipment, acclimatization and training. I'm also interested in how you made the arrangement to climb unsupported but I'm not sure if this is a grey area that you can't talk about.

Hey! Yes it was Allie Pepper and her Sherpas at the end on the summit. In this case I had my tent with me and carried it up. I carried two tents at once to C2 and let the C2 installed there. I carried another tent up to C3 and C4. If you have to do several rotations you can manage a nice material carry cycle. In this case everything went super fast and I was already completeley geared up on my 2nd rotation. Luckily I had done my pre acclimatization at the Thorong La Pass, so my body was ready to summit on the 2nd rotation, which is not a given. Emergency bottle: I had one last year on Lhotse and took it to Camp 4 (just in case, so I dont die at night), but I would never carry an emergency bottle to the summit. It would be way to heavy! As an experienced mountaineer you need to understand your body and know, when to turn around.... as I just had to admit on Everest, when I tried to summit.

Dank dir vielmals! Disziplin und harte Arbeit haben es möglich gemacht!

tyvm!

Thank you! It took hard work, dedication and discipline! It is nice, when these things pay off!

Hey! I am from Germany! You know 13 hours is not so much for a mountaineer, I think it is one of the basic mountaineering skills, that you are able to go for 24hours straight if necessary. But of course I have to admit. Going 13 hours to 8091m is extremely exhausting"

@@norrdinenouar Yes, for sure. Rest up bro. How much water and food do you bring on a summit push like that?

Hey! Nope I dont! Just my normal La Sportiva Olympus Mons Cube

yep, and parts of it collapsed and fell down to the coloir causing an avalanche

A climber is never safe anywhere on Annapurna 1. It has a unique microclimate which produces sudden changes in weather. Besides its constant avalanches and winds that can send the climber off their feet, huge crevasses high up on the mountain can get concealed by heavy snow, making it impossible to descend.

@@Mila_Brearey Thanks!

Exactly what Mila Brearey says! One problem is the big "summit sickle" a lot of ice blocks and seracs collapse from it down to the glacier below, causing further avalanches that can sometimes even reach camp 2. The way up to C3 you have to move through a coloir, which concentrates a lot of avalances from an above positioned serac. There are at least 2 avalanches per day through this coloir and you have to cross it in order to get to camp 3. Its kinda a gamble. And yes, the weather as Mila mentioned is very specific. The Everest region is very dry during March, April, May, but Annapurna almost gets snow every day, since the micro climate builds big humid clouds every day.

@@norrdinenouar Thank you.

With all this in information in mind, I can not and do not believe you just climb up this hoping for the best. Surely there is something you do to decrease the chances of dying on the climb. Or is it pure luck?

He is ok. Had to turn around above 8000 metres because of an infection. Would not have made it otherwise. Wise decision! He'll try again.

Exactly, sorry I had no connection. Everest was going good for quite a while, but yea as you read I got sick and in the end I was not strong enough on summit day. I turned around pretty quickly because I realized I would end up as another frozen boddy up there if I continue to push to the summit! Ill live to fight another day!

aaaah! thx

@@norrdinenouar np loved the video! so amazing

Hey, well I am insanely rich in joy, and loved people in my life! Haha! First of all, the way I climb is very cheap and resourceful and I dont need a lot of money and my expeditions are not very expensive. In addition to that, I had good education and a good paying job and therefore I was able to earn a good chunk of money, so I quit my job 2 years ago and started traveling! Now, after Everest I am completely broke and need to earn money again or find a sponsor who supports my future expeditions :D

Thx so much! Discipline and hard work pays off!
