I love everest so much. Ever since watching the Mallory expedition as a child I wanted to climb. Hoping to climb it next year prove everyone who said I can't wrong (I have autism so people assume I can't do these things)

Very nice to see Venables getting more recognition these days for his fabulous, unpretentious accomplishments. His book about the Everest ascent is epic but he remains a very humble, sound lad.

THIS is climbing. THIS is exploration. This is in the spirit of Irvine and Mallory.

Extraordinary is an understatement. What a show, thanks for highlighting Stephen and this climb!

Thank you for another fabulous video. I was totally mesmerised by your interview with Stephen Venables , not to mention the pictures of his and his team members' climb! I much appreciate hearing about first-hand experiences and feelings about attempting in my mind 'the impossible'! As I've said before, I am in awe!

I have never became a member to anything on KZfaq . I am so drawn into your stories and your determination to get facts and truth out. You are an amazing storyteller and I appreciate this channel so much

He has a very interesting perspective, I enjoyed listening to him. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you both for this. Great stuff!

I just re-read Stephen's book about this adventure, so especially enjoyed hearing your interview with a mountaineering icon.

Great interview! Thank you!

I can’t imagine how frigid he was out all night near the summit. Thank u for this I love them. 🙏

I have a lot of respect for sherpas but applaud these men for their bravery and independence 👏 🙌

I don't think people realize how crazy this is. I salute you sir for this incredible accomplishment

Absolutely fascinating! Thank you for your videos!

Great interview, great interviewee

Really enjoyed this interview and perspective. Thank you for sharing Thom.

Yes. This man is speaking to what I understand - it isn’t brave to continue forward when you are wiped; it’s self gratification. He is the first mountaineer I’ve heard say that. Yes it takes fortitude (which should be applauded, generally) and probably sheer stubbornness but it’s all in service of self gratification.

I had to rewatch this one. Amazing what they accomplished! I can imagine surviving a night out on Everest. Fantastic interview.

Great interview

Excellent post. I have Steves book, but i havnt got Ed's book yet.

Thanks for the upload, highly appriciated!

Great video. Very interesting story. Not suprised he felt so lonely bivving on his own at that height. Thankyou.

I remember this was quite big news at the time in the U.K. An incredible achievement which he underplays. He talks about being able to walk 20 steps without oxygen as if it’s nothing. You watch modern documentaries now and fit amateur climbers struggle to walk 2 or 3 steps on summit day without a rest and that’s with oxygen.

Amazing!

Great video! Thank you!

I was gonna say this has got to be the smallest team ever to attempt a summit (other than David sharp attempting alone). Thanks for the video!

Great interview of an amazing man!! Great job! Thank you!❤😊

Anytime I see Kangshung face I remember our four friends who climbed Bonnington route alpine style but never returned alive. Their last moments are a mystery but they probably missed the descent route from Balcony and went down the Kanshung face in a white out.

Hope your having a beautiful holiday weekend! Merry Christmas 🎄Much Respect!⛄💯🎄❤️

Thom love the channel and shorts!

Wonderful Thom, merry Christmas

I am not a climber/mountaineer, and my interest first started with the Mallory/Irvine story and from there just reading everything about climbing. I’m just reading the book the howl in Denali and just finished no way down and into thin air. This story of Steven is just mind blowing and fascinating, I shall defo get hold of the books. What I do want to comment is a thank you to Steven for acknowledging that what he did was for selfish reasons. Now I don’t mean that in a critical or nasty way at all. I have nothing but respect for all the men and women who do these climbs and put their bodies through hell! I do have a problem when everyone tries to paint climbing as anything else but selfish! It is a selfish drive because of that burning desire to keep pushing the boundaries and limits of one’s own body and achievement. If they weren’t selfish, they wouldn’t do the climbs! So it was very refreshing to hear that from a climber. I don’t know how they do what they do and I can’t wait to read Steven’s book! Even better is that he’s British! 🇬🇧 Wonderful interview. Thank you. ❤

Dude no way, the channel keeps on giving. It was Stephens Ted talk thst i fortunately stumbled across in the KZfaq algorithm many years ago that was the start of my interest. Intrigue and sheer amazement at what you do. Ive come full circle lol. But no crampons for me, im staying in my lane 🤣

0:05 thousand yard stare

The pic at 0.16 sec is terrifying

It should be renamed the Kangchung Cliff! The base of the KF is a quasi-cemetery, with multiple bodies that have, either accidentally fallen off, or were intentionally thrown off the Face! Rough history is Everest!

Hey if really like your channel your awesome an love your content.. you need an how you break the truth and I would also like to ask you some information on something there is a video on KZfaq with someone laying dead at the Hillary step and I was wondering if anyone knew who it is an the back story to it.. and I only ask because I’ve seen story’s on others body’s in videos but this is the only one I can’t find out who it is and I’m just curious is all.. and I’ve seen this person in so many videos but nothing ever talks about who it is.. thanks for your time an everything’ you do..

EPIC AMD BALLSY mountaneering, a bit lucky steven survived, crazyyy

Many many have died when they took one more chance !!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of those crazy climbers lost 8 FINGERS, but he says it was one of the "happiest" experiences of his life to climb Everest. LOL, that man is weird.

Commenting in the hopes that KZfaq will give me more content like this, and less AI generated crap.

А по центру стены кангшунг до вершины кто нибудь смог взойти вообще за всю историю?

I terminated the video when you took time to tell about your sponsor.
