this is one of the most beautiful Everest documentaries I've ever seen. Thankfully no music, just the original sound of silence and peace. Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience.

This is the first I have ever seen the North side. Amazing and Inspiring.

Best video I've seen of someone summiting everest. Felt like I was with them every step of the way. Well done to the mountaineer who shot this!

Every video of Everest expeditions I see scares the heck out of me. Especially when climbers are tackling ice cliffs. I find myself holding my breath in case the constant attacks of crampons cause sheets of ice to calf off the wall. Much respect for those who choose to attempt this! Most humble respect to all of the wonderful Sherpa people who risk and sacrifice so much to make it possible for mere mortals to achieve their dreams. May the children of every Sherpa guide and porter on the mountain gain a wonderful education so they never have to risk their lives on a mountain so some foreign dreamer can achieve something very personal. Of all the expedition videos I have watched, this one feels most like a good ethnography to me. Deeply personal, vividly depicted and just incredible. I got winded just listening to the efforts expended in trying to just breathe above 8000m! Awesome production - THANK YOU!

Just so generous and humble of you to not show us and talk about your feet and socks and critique of meals, and talking over chants during these team and community experiences. Just brilliant of you. Grateful to you to share a place very few people will ever see.

now this is the best everest docu i have seen so far. way more organized and calm, clean camps, no powerfights over useless shite, no sociopathic rants, no ropesalad hanging off the mountain, talks about other peaks, including showing them, no psycho lipstick chicks and the landscape overall is way prettyer. thank you Mr. Li-Lan Cheng, you did an outstanding job here. thanks David Snow.

Thank you for making this, and thank you for not adding music. Hearing the wind and footsteps is much more engaging!

Like how the whole video was shot. Its like I was transported to the mountain, and all the way to the summit. The first and second step are v dangerous and scary.

Many thanks David for posting this. An absolutely brilliant capture of summiting Everest and the challenges involved. Have a real life feeling to it and you can get a sense of what it would be like to be up there. Some passages certainly bring the pulse up, blo**y hell! Best Everest movie I've seen. Huge respect to Li-Lan for capturing this exciting adventure in such a formidable way.

YES! Definitely one of the best - with regard to stunning photography, awesome details, and specific information to remember. Congratulations to everyone on this climb. I have to watch it again, and again!

All these mountain climbing videos seem to end at the summit, as if the real work is done and descending is no big deal. It seems to me the glory is reaching the summit and then making it back to basecamp intact. I have read that more deaths and injuries occur on the descent, when climbers are exhausted and all that adrenaline that got them to the top is spent.

Carla Perez is from Ecuador and she summit the k2 without oxygen too ...tremenda mujer Latina

This the best video of a Northside climb of Everest I have seen. Felt like I was actually there!. Great job!

I consider myself pretty tough, former soldier, combat experience… this is a different kind of tough. Hats off to these Sherpas and porters.

Great video, thanks for sharing. That 1st ladder at the Second Step remains as mind-boggling as ever. Froze the video a few times and counted at least a dozen different ropes hanging on and around that ladder. I read about many people giving up at the Second Step, just too challenging for some to overcome.

Best team and organization i have seen so far.

I’d break my ankle just getting to that bathroom.

Watched in full, thank you for posting. Thank you to all in this successful Everest video 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Congratulations on a great achievement. I like the way you were kind and cheered others to the top of the world.

The best Everest film ever . Just felt that we are with you on summit. thank you..

They are so brave to climb in the dark up vertical cliffs! In total awe it the whole team. Brilliant film. 😊

Thank you, David Snow, for sharing. I am loving your channel!

Incredible video. You can hear Li-Lan's heartbeat going up the North Col.

I'm so thankful to you, this is a great video!🌟 There were so many taken my breath away moments! And special thank you for no music, the sound of the wind is so cool =). My sincere congratulations for reaching the summit of Mount Everest! Hello from Russia, Saint-Petersburg👋

That knifes edge when he started to descend and had people ascending and you have to unclip and clip to pass scared me. Terrified me actually. Also the time spent stopping to congratulate people is very selfless. I'd be like sorry I'll congratulate at BC, can't stop to chat now.

I just got finished watching the climb and was a really good video of there summit , I'm happy for them, I still get amazed by the amount of fixed ropes left behind, I'm sure that I would clip on the wrong rope , just from being tired and lack of paying attention at that height

David Snow! Thank you for this one. The most vivid and nail biting I have seen so far. The footage is exhilarating and keeps us on our toes as the climbers soldier on. So detailed is the scenery, one might seriously think they are on the mountain together with the stars of the show...lol!! My AC being on full blast for a moment had me believe I was in the thick of it with these brave souls!! It felt so real that at some point I nearly slipped off my chair as I tried to avoid falling over an edge at some point in the imagined climb of my life. All this at the comfort of my bedroom work desk. Man, it really got real for me in several scenes!!! I had to shut my AC off to avoid frostbite.... wow... amazing stuff this footage.

The whole landscape’s mind blowing. It’s not a place where I would like to live but certainly worth seeing it once in a lifetime. As well as the Carrizo Plains.

wow that’s the content i’m here for. great documenting the climb!

Great find this, some of the bts footage such as the debriefs was insightful. The excellent camera angles really show the gradient along some of the majestic ridges. Thanks as always.

This was a really good video , enjoyed very much. Congratulations to this summit team and thank you to the videographer 😊

Beautiful climb 🧗‍♂️ !! Lucky guys got such good weather window.... Cheers 🥂 team and thanks David Snow for sharing....

These GoPro cam ones are the best. The breathing, the coughing!...International bro/hood.

Well done congratulations to the whole team, and of course the sherpa who make this possible. Its refreshing to see respect between the team and the sherpa, some 'climbers' could learn a lot from this. Amazing effort.

26:00 enjoying a last smoke at 6800m baller.😀

Claps to you all. Thank you for sharing!

I had to smile to myself seeing the Sherpa having a few quick pulls on his cigarette.They are the real stars of getting people to the top and back.If there was no Sherpa's, there would be triple the deaths every year on Everest.On another documentary a sherpa is seeing carrying Mark Ingles down the mountain,taking the full weight of him with a rope around his forehead.Absolute beast.

Fantastic video.. Thankyou. loads of details never usually seen,.,. :D

Never really thought about the dead bodies even though I’ve watched a lot of Everest videos which at one point in them they talk about them and I’m interested in the stories but the first few dead bodies in this video seeing them was eye opening onto just how dangerous this place is I think because there was no narration over it and it was just all climbing noises and scenes it just made it really intense

Wonderful video!! Descending from the summit is extremely dangerous I guess... so scary but so beautiful... your guys are so lucky to achieve this heights... next K2... 🤯🤯🤯 good luck!!

I had been led to believe that the north side of Everest, because it is more difficult to climb, did not suffer from the overcrowding that causes serious delays and problems on the Nepalese side. Obviously that is no longer the case.

Great memories, thank you for sharing

Far and wide the best video of a climb I have seen!

Thank you so much for sharing this awesome video! It was if I were on this great expedition with all of them. I appreciated to see the north route, which is more uncommon for me. And my congrats to all of the mountaineers for the summit that day!

Amazing. What a beautiful adventure.

wonderful video ..such clarity..thanks

Wow my friend! Congratulations on your summit success! Your video is spectacular and thank you for sharing. The ladder climbs had me in suspense on how dangerous it is. Best of luck and happy holidays!

I remember once reading that the summit of Everest was the size of a pool table. I guess they were referring to the absolute highest point. This would only allow two people to stand side by side but if I done all that to the top of Everest I'd sure as hell want to stand on that 'pool table' 😂

Congratulations brothers, finally on top of the world feel like you carried us with you to dream imaginerie world.

I enjoyed your film. Thank you for posting.

Well organized and great teamwork. Wonderful video with great detail as if I was with them.

👍 Great, great docummention. Thanks a a lot. And huge respect - from Germany. 👍

I love the mountains, hiking and climbing - but at home in the Bavarian/Austrian Alps, thats enough for me 😅 I leave the big mountains to others and just watch documentaries about them.

I really enjoy this video and especially with the lack of music !.....Best part is when the dude says; 'Ding-dang, one step forward because we're standing on a crevasse' ! 😂😂😂....like 'Dude , if you don't speed up, we're both history !"

Wonderful documentary bless all and stay safe x

That 250m walk to the bathroom reminds me of that scene from the Hateful Eight!

Great documentary. congratulation to all who are still Alive and made it up and down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn bruh! You are really rollin' with these videos lately! Love it! I hope you don't mind if we link you and shout you out on First Question Podcast? Two of us cohosts have been using your content as a portion of our reasearch for our 96 Everest Disaster story.

Wonderful, thank you for sharing

That was an amazing log and amazing climb, congratulations to the whole team. I can't help but find it a bit hilarious that even the highest point of Earth isn't able to escape photo queue.

Thank you I think you are the best at this photography amazing details and information,all coming together to tell a great story and achievement thank you for this .👋👋

Que gran experiencia David Snow. Este es sin lugar a dudas el mejor documental de un ascenso por el lado norte.

Wow. Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing. I have read a couple comments how everest brings people together of different countries. I think that is amazing. Maybe you could suggest for the base camp a snooker table so you have some activities to keep people busy while they acclimate to the altitude. Haha. Wouldnt that be something? Thank you again. Great video. From Ohio, U.S.A.

That traverse on the descent! Looks terrifying. 54:40 Thanks for taking me up there! Watching from 57 metres currently!

Awesome video and great to see from the north side.

Very good explanation and much better there is no music.

So incredible! Congrats!

Great work. Thanks for sharing it with us 🙂

They were forced to wait on side of Everest near summit in the death zone because of traffic jam. Why don't they limit the number of climbers per day that can summit to insure mitigate traffic jam problem? How many climbers who have died were forced to wait at least 1 he at some point on their fatal day. They might die on way down because total climb was extended and the wait led to dieing later in the day.

Amazing! Congratulations!

Thank you for sharing! This is the route I’m more familiar with after the Discovery channel series. Haven’t seen it in a while since most ascent videos are from the Nepal side. This route definitely seems more challenging past camp 2 given how exposed and rocky it is (and I believe climbers spend more time above 8000m given the gradual ascent from north camp 3 vs the south route from camp 4). The impact on the route up to the north col from the earthquake shows what it must have been like for them the previous year. Having ABC as a good acclimatisation base and ascending up to north col for acclimatisation and back down before the final push seems (to me) to be less risky for the final push than the Khumbu ice fall and the hot western cwm up and down to the Nepal EBC and back up again. I do wonder why there’s no ABC on the Nepal side above the Khumbu ice fall to reduce the risks of traversing that constantly. (I believe ABC on the north side is the same elevation as camp 2 on the south and a lot easier to get back to base camp with no icefall between ABC and BC). The Nepal side definitely has a far more interesting hike to EBC vs bus from Lhasa (and less visa issues).

best youtube everest video ever

Great film! Love the style! Sherpas ROCK!

Best channel

great documentary

How is it that certain individuals can handle the altitude without supplemental oxygen? What is it about them physiologically that is different from others? Ed Viesturs is a good example - all 8,000ers with no O2.

The route taken by none other than Mallory and Irvine!!!!!

Damn!! Good stuff!

Great video!

Thank you

31:30 just curious, typically how long do ropes go before they are secured? It seems like there are a lot of people just pulling the rope to climb doesn't that effect people climbing behind you?

Why isn't this more popular than South Col? Is it because it's in China? Seems like you avoid Khumbu and the route feels the same. Just curious. I am no mountaineer and have never been there in person, just like learning about it.

Jolly good show!

When you need to go for the big one😅 LMFAO 😂 I died 😂

Fantastic!...

good viewing as always

Bravo pour cette vidéo, un autre regard ..🥰🍀🍀🍀🍀

Big Pictures. wow. congrats to all.

Very nice!!

Amazing footage, the risk of death at that altitude is so high so it must have been hard to film and also keep the cameras operating in the low temperatures.

Well done..excelent vid

Great video

So crowded on the way and up there!

Congratulations!

Maybe not appropriate but..does anyone know who the deceased person is,laying the side of the hill 40:48?Very sad..just 250 m from the summit.

Great film! Love it! Which company? Can you put a link in the description? Thanks!

Question : when you reach summit from North side do you also meet people coming from South side ? Never saw any video talking about it

So hard to hear, with the wind, but amazing video as always.

Wow speechless
