The bodies have been there for years, if you plan to summit Everest you do your research and know what to expect unfortunately the bodies are usually unrecoverable because of the harsh conditions but are also very well preserved by the cold, some are famous by this point and are used as landmarks and have names used by climbers.

@@GlimpsofDay It depends how someone calculates risk. If it's collectively accepted risk then nobody is thinking about the negatives, for example driving a truck/car, it is risky and everyone knows that there's a chance of dying, considering today's traffic and the mindset of the drivers it's probably even worse. Now doing something for recreation and it is an extreme sport like glacier climbing, then it starts to go towards more risky, not everyone is doing that. As long as nothing happens and more often is done (it get's into routine thing) the feeling of it being more safe is growing, if it's good or bad..... good question.

The simple GoPro view of the icefall outdid almost any of the views I have seen.

Dude, you are the man!!!! An old soul. I was hoping you would mention the weird dude who tried to pass you. You are humble. I think a huge factor in death on Everest (armchair QB here) is ego, or “I am better than these guys so I can push on when they are turning back” kinda attitude. That and summit fever…. only 500 meters …. I can see the summit…. then oh shit that 500 meters just burned too much oXygen …. dead…. I saw when you were coming down you unclip many times to keep up with your guide. However, I think I would rather take that risk as a strong climber as you had become by that point than the alternative…. getting stuck behind other climbers as the weather turns nasty and your oxygen slowly disappears…. I think your guide knew your ability and pushed down fast knowing you could keep up.. but knowing that () I am assuming) the English dude and his guide were doing the exact same thing…. I saw others climbing up high on the left side of the trail to get past poo butt slow shouldn’t probably be on the mountain folks. I would rather jam down and take some risk than get stuck. I mean how frustrating it would be knowing you have plenty of power and can easily make it down out of the death zone but get stuck and die. But hopefully next time you will consider the risk you took and decide instead of just gung ho ing it !!!! Love you man…. You have a great attitude and are not at all what I thought at first…. a tourist with a lack of skill and experience…. no you proved you are capable, My hats off to you my boy! Im old now but I came up through adolescence in Colorado. We used to have to use a “prescott”. I think it was called to keep your self from going backwards on a fixed rope. I was a knot you had to slide up and tighten. I think …. I remember for sure using it when repelling so right yourself if you were hanging upside down.. anyway…. I had my day on 14ers. but never anything like the things you are doing.

Well said, Ryan. You are an excellent communicator at a young age. I am especially impressed with your ability to clarify the many insights you have gathered in real time. So much is lost on those who are not actually "in the moment" for a variety of individualized reasons. I am inspired by your accomplishments and will surely ask my sons to watch your channel. Btw, God is real, but few secrets are revealed because we have to perform without certainty in order to be judged. Thank you!

You’re such a humble badass, dude! Learned a ton from your videos and just want to say thank you! I’ll never climb Everest, but this is the next best thing. May God keep you safe and healthy on all your future climbs and journeys.

Hey Ryan, loved the documentary of Everest with you! Which kind of 8k Mountain will you do next? Excited to watch you climb!

I am only 17 at the moment, but this is my dream. Everest or K2, or even both, I will conquer them, I will summit them, I will be back to this message in a few years. Absolute elite motivation this video!
