Growing up in Pangboche I didn't know how lucky I was to see these views every day. I have been away from home for the last 6 years and I miss the mountain and its vibe so badly but your videos made me feel at home. You explored a lot of places I used to wander as a child. Thank you for the awesome vlog. Love it.

Hi Max, I have found your video by chance and have noticed, that we were there almost at the same time. When you look at your video (1th minute and 7th second) you will see me descending to Chukhung. Unfortunately, our attempt to climb Island peak was not successful partly because of weather (cold and fresh snow) and partly because of the health problems of the other group members. We have climbed to about 5.500 m and stopped at the beginning of the rock couloir, where the last group member started having problems and I was also forced to return to the base camp. Despite that, a few days later we were successful on the Lobuche east which was as the second on our itinerary. My plan is to go to Nepal next year 2021 again with the aim to climb Mera Peak and afterward the Island Peak. So thank you very much for your great video which not only recalled the great memories but also as the only one I have seen yet presented also the rocky part of the Island Peak climb staring from the couloir. Yours Jan

Namaste from Canada, Max! Great playlist! I enjoyed it immensely. Your photography is fabulous. I did the 3 passes trek in March, and the Chukhung valley was my favorite. Seeing the trekking, tea houses, food, and the amazing views up that valley again... I can't wait to go back, inspired this time to include the climb. I just wanted to say thanks for putting this together.

Being in these places on your own is a great experience. When planning these treks and climbs take as long as possible it really adds to the pleasure of just being there..

Hey Max, What an amazing footage of the climb ....absolutely mind blowing footages from the summit of Island peak and yes not to forget the little adventure you did from Chukkung on your rest day and those inexplicable timelapses around Ama Dablam. ..I just loved the narration and also the real time climbing footages.....Our sherpa was same when I attempted with my clients in 2019 June but could not summit due to a missing ladder which fell into crevasse. You should also come to India for some very nice 6000+ peaks.!!! take care and Stay safe..!!!

What an AMAZING experience! Thank you for sharing your journey. Very inspirational.

Excellent video, editing, music, and narration. I did EBC in 2019. The mountain is calling me and I am now scheduled for Island Peak in November 2023. Thanks again for your inspirational content!

spectacular footage! thank you

Beautiful photography, and in-depth introduction of the imja lake areas. Thank you.

Beautiful Video Max.I wish you all the best for your future mountaineering and Hope God protects you wherever you go.

Amazing footage. I was waiting for this video.

Really like the way you didn’t finish with the summit. It must be great to relax and slowly walk back to Lukla with job done. Did the Everest Base Camp Trek a few years ago-hiked in from Jiri. Been thinking about Island Peak. Cheers for the video.

Congratulations Summit push was great I am sure you have had time of your life! But your off beat wandering is what was very caught my attention. Your narration and camera skills are very versatile! Hoping to see you at another adventure soon !

Oh....Yes amazing

Fantastic video, thank you

It was simple but awesome video on ascent of Island peak. I am also planning to climb it next year if all goes well. Thanks dude!

Awesome video man 👌

Terrific video!

Great climb Quick question what camera do you use

Hi Max, just discovered your channel because I've recently decided to come back to Nepal and this time climb Island Peak. Your video is in my opinion the best that exists about it and I couldn't thank you enough for the work you put on it. It gives me a very good idea of what awaits me there, and I will put a big effort to get ready for this. The whole footage is incredibly beautiful, you truly are a talented film maker. Just a single question, how did your camera die during the ascent? Was it a lack of battery or the cold temperature killing it? I did my first EBC trek with a GoPro Hero7, had a solar panel and slept with all my electronic devices in my sleeping bag, including my Canon reflex camera. Super scared the devices die once I'm climbing this, have you got any advices? Well done for the ascent and the video again!

I so want to climb that mount it’s so nice maybe one day when am 22 years old

beautiful video..if you don't mind me to ask would you recommend company or climbing sherpa you climbed with appreciate your help

Amaizing video. amaizing views . you need diferent camera for night shooting

comparied to all the other peaks here in nepal this one is considered to be the easiest ones but doesn't look so easy when u'r actually there

This whole series was very well done! Thats as close as it can get without actually being there. I watch every video like this i can find and this is def one of the best I've seen. Great job Max thank you! Which alpine peak will you do next?

Hi Max, really enjoyed all your videos in this series. Some amazing footage. Seems like you used a drone a couple of times. Are you able to tell me what the rules are for Nepal for a sub 250g drone? Do you need permission to fly one in Nepal?

Greatest video ever

Hi Max, where did you book your mountain guide? And can you actually rent all climbing gear in island peak basecamp? We are starting the three passes trek by our own in april and want to include the island peak

Superb Max. Glad you summited safely. I’m going October 2021 Island Summit via EBC. Q - did you have to traverse on ladders over crevices?

Great video, thanks! What camera did you use Max?

Hey Great Video! I am planning to do this next year. Mera Peak and Island Peak with the 3 passes Trek. Did you have a guide only for the peaks? And did you know that you can rent some gear at basecamp? I never heard this before
