Wild isn’t it

Yea I felt the same, peace ✌️

its not a hard climb.. and can be done without oxygen . stop exaggerating

@@gtxoiltastebad you’re out of your damn mind if you think this is even remotely an easy climb let alone without oxygen.

@@gtxoiltastebad Bro I doubt you’ve ever climbed a hill in your life, let alone a mountain.

@@drunkdonkey1009 put your money where your mouth is and i'll show you pictures of me one Everest , K2 and Cho Oyu

Maybe in time it will be once it’s noticed more 😊

Yes!! This was a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the journey

Yes. That's really interesting!

Same here. i've watched a few just out of curiosity. This one? I felt like I was there in a way. Always been fascinated with Everest, but at 50, and all broken up due to Iraq, I'll stick to youtube LOL

Yytt

Y u tyyu

I would say probably none. No one has ever reached the top without a Sherpa.

@Paul Martin you’re referring to a guy named Lars Kropp and his story is questionable to say the least. By law, you MUST hire a local Sherpa guide in order to climb the mountain - period.

@Paul Martin sure - they can. And in some countries, you put not only your freedom but your life at risk by breaking them. Such is the case in Tibet and Indonesia.

@Paul Martin mmm people DO make it to the top Paul. It’s not like it’s an instant death trap. It’s not as insane as people think. If people take their time and manage their energy, it’s doable. So risking your freedom is not wise.

Zero, not many have the childhood muscle memory from mountaineering

your reported to the police.

Wishing I was with you. 😂 😢😢 no speedo, please

what a dumb comment

It feels like the preparation workouts could have been their own two hour video

Hi Karen, I am a 56 year old couch climber too and one hundred percent agree with your comment. I must have paused this video two dozen times just to savour the majesty. In real life I have never seen snow - South Australia is not famous for the stuff. Thank you too to the film makers. This couch climb has been the best ever.

@@trishlatham7677 I live in Wyoming in the US. We get enough snow that I would be happy to ship it to you.

I have never ever used oxygen while watching 8000 meter plus climbs on Yt while on my couch, never. It's a achievement.

@@manjsher3094 I envy your strength.

@@karenjones2631 lol thanks

dude, spoiler alert.. im still watching :D

@@Atreidez Lol sry 😂

K2 mountain is the real mountain to conquer if you want to be among the best.

@@alberthenriette8976 Yeah I get what you are saying, but what sounds cooler; Ive climbed K2 or Ive been to the highest mountain that exists.

@@Atreidez All a matter of perspective. Far less people have survived the summit of K2.

“It’s not about the destination, it’s about the documentary” Seriously though, this is so awesome

Meh… He seems like an a**hole that leaves trash at places he shouldn’t be to begin with. Him & he’s trust fund Gypsy buddy come across as entitled jerks on that blog he mentions at the end. Still,it was a good documentary,Everest documentaries always intrigue me.

The first two seasons of Discovery Channel's Everest series were of Russell Bryce's teams climbing from the Chinese Tibet side. They are also good.

O Jesus!! A FACE!!!!! You guys!!!! Look at the clouds 4:06 !! OMG!!! Between the peaks when he says disaster strikes.. the face !!!! Do you see it???

@@jenniferwilson7762 yes… it’s called face pareidolia…

@@jenniferwilson7762 called face pareidolia lmao.

*Tibetan side

Me too. Add in spelunking and that's my 3 nopes. But I can't get enough mountaineering videos lol

Same

Me too 😂

Same. I'd never want to climb Everest (or any mountain like it), but I'm absolutely fascinated by documentaries and stories about others who do climb it.

Same... I can not get enough of them.

Me too!. My jaw drops every time as if I am just viewing it for the first time. Outstanding!

Just stumbled across this one and I've seen a shit tonne of mountaineering docos over the years. Excellent video and long enough to really get in to it.

I agree and I’ve seen National Geographic and BBC and PBS. This is up there with that

@@hfleah Same!

We shall see. I have watched and written much.

Totally agree. Thís doccie is as real as it gets. Fantastic content. 🙌🏻

how many people do this preparation? 70% 50%

Great perspective. I hope this video will also inspire people to understand complexity of preparation and it's inherent necessity

Preparing is a huge part but doesn’t matter if you don’t have the mountain of cash it takes to get there. Sadly money is everything

But he trained his body the wrong way.

there's alot not quite right with the team... The guides did alot wrong and much of his training was either unnecessary or MIA. An easy one to understand... why would you put a water bottle in your pack when you could load it down with actual gear?

Reading your post of 2 years ago, sure hope you are in a safe place

They are born and raised on the mountain so their bodies are adapted to survive there. Physically they can probably out perform most people with hard labor. It is amazing!

@@ChenoodleSoup yes they grow up in a high altitude, plus I’m sure they start climbing as children.

Not just by growing up at high altitudes but research has shown that sherpas are genetically built for high altitude. Better oxygen binding capacity of hemoglobin and also double the nitric oxide production in blood vessels.

@@aaronderyl I think it's SO interesting and fascinating how humans can evolve depending on where we live

@@SwedBaben been lucky to have experienced this first hand on my first trek to Everest base camp. Had a guide/porter then. A slender looking man in his late 50s who was a heavy smoker. I was 31 and apparently thought I was in the best shape of my life (LOL). This gentleman carried a load and reached each days target 3-4 hours before me who huffed and puffed my ass up. Very humbling and as said - fascinating

Well when 80 year old's can summit it cant be that hard with the same help as they get.

@@titter3648 Mentalities like this are the reason why people die on Everest lol.

@@off1918 No. It's mostly bad weather, waiting in lines, avalanches and just being unlucky and get a bad case of high altitude sickness. On a good day with good weather and good guides and sherpas and oxygen all the way almost anyone can do it.

@@titter3648 Almost anyone can do it!? Thats Just false The Problem is peoble believe that and just say, i have enough money lets try Everest would be cool to reach the summit.... And then they are dead

Yup it’s absolutely insane how people who have NEVER climbed a real mountain are just all “oh hey I really wana climb Everest. Let’s go!” How egotistical and narcissistic do you have to be to think that just having tons of money qualifies you to climb Mount Everest... this has gotten so absolutely out of hand lately... these people put others lives at risk when these inexperienced climbers who think doing a week or 2 at base camp with some aclimitization hikes is considered “climbing experience.” These Sherpas don’t get paid enough as it is, now they’re gonna be responsible for rescuing idiots like this who have ZERO experience. It blows my mind that these people think what they’re doing is totally okay...

One of the best observations. I never once gave that a thought.

I could be wrong, but the raffle looked like a joke to me. did anyone of the team actually have to climb with an old mask? I don't remember seeing any after the team-leader presented it.

Imagine the idiots who've paid with zero experience and little to no learning.

I'm not only a KZfaq mountaineer. I also do quite a bit of armchair cave diving. I'm trying to imagine those guys trusting the same system with their scuba gear. They would never. Oxygen is just as vital on Everest as it is under 400 feet of water. It really is hard to imagine. I guess it's that thing, when every one else is ok with something, we often abandon our own good judgement,, and trust the group.

Is New or old oxygen masks laid out on the expedition contract? You paid for it right?

And the temperature is probably just above 0 lol

This is what’s really shocked me ! I can’t equate it with the stories of frostbite and freezing to death

😂 😂 😂

Don't forget about the vast sum of money...

@@aszechy money is renewable but some people would never be able to meet the physical demands.

and whos rich enough....

You havent seen many mountain movies then.

O Jesus!! A FACE!!!!! You guys!!!! Look at the clouds 4:06 !! OMG!!! Between the peaks when he says disaster strikes.. the face !!!! Do you see it???

@@jenniferwilson7762 Yeah the face says: "Really guys? You can see me from the bottom too, you know.."

Thanks for not lying

A greater achievement than climbing everest really (no sarcasm)

In my 35 years of being on KZfaq, I have rarely commented on another's comment.

@@ig00g1e KZfaq has only been around for 16 years though.

I’m a pilot. Pilots say “takeoffs are optional, landings are mandatory.”

Haha I just watched 14 peaks too, that made me interested in other climbing videos!

@@theimpaler2317 haha same here

Ive literally just done the same thing wtf lmao

@@davidjones-bh5xg looking at this video I was confused why he didn’t go straight up and would go back and forth from a lower camp to a higher camp, then I realized it’s for aclimatization. When you watch 14 peaks, you see Nims do most ascends in just one day or just one go. Only after watching this video seeing how a normal person usually climbs Peaks did I realize how great a climber Nims is to do all those mounts in one go!

@@theimpaler2317 Thanks. Was wondering why as well!

Hope you get to check Everest off your list!

@@kjo9982 thanks a lot for that!

❤ the Yaks

K2 are very Danger

His pre planning and diligent training is what grabbed me from the beginning. That shows so much responsibility (and respect for the Sherpas and his teammates).

A bit too many close ups of his face.

When they found the body of Mallory and it showed his body lying there face down for 90 years with all his cotton clothing and leather boots etc I was thinking what you just commented on here... Just think how different and more difficult it would have been to not have any of the modern equipment, clothing, support, and NO ROPES .... sorry about screaming the no ropes thing, but can you imagine trying to get up that same mountain with no ropes ? I can not remember if he had any oxygen apparatus on his back when they found his body - I know it was very heavy and not reliable like todays systems but I wonder what percentage of successful Everest climbers would have been able to get to the summit using Mallory's same clothing, boots, bad oxygen systems,and NO ROPES .....( sorry again ).. I bet 99% would fail attempting to duplicate Mallory's effort.. Do you think anyone would be able to get to the top just using Mallory's resources ??

Any other documentary you recommend from 7 summits??

DMB! ha ha ha!!!!

David please do not put your house number and address on line as it is dangerous.
