Me too! What a relief lol

If you play this backwards, the descent is quite safe & quick as well. ⛑

Well, I assume he is not a sherpa that is biologically adapted to high altirudes and low oxygen levels. Climbing and summiting Mt. Everest, 800 metres above the death zone, is still an achievement that he should be proud of. That being said, the majority of Westerners would not be able to achieve this without the aid of the underpaid and often underapriciated Sherpas.

Costs wayyy more than 25k so I call bullshit

@@salvaje20 In the 1990's, dumbchit.

This is the North ridge, not the mainstream South ridge that your neighbour has climbed

Well unless they carry you to the summit, it is still a monumental achievement for a non professional mountaineer. One would naturally be proud.Not in favour of hunting though as that is so unfair .. gun against unarmed animal .. that's pathetic I agree.

Fantastic.....

Amazing

How much $ did all that run you??

Takes a brave man or woman to know when to turn around. So glad you were ultimately able to summit, but I am almost more impressed that you were able to turn around.

Brother take me there

Even those who have made wise decisions in the past, make mistakes in the future. The past is no guarantee of future psychology.

Nub i summit lhotse 3 time

Hi, A little correction. The South Face climbers do not go through the Steps 1,2 and 3. The South Col and North route ( described in this video) converge only at the Summit of Mt. Everest. South face climbers only have the Hillary step, which has gotten much easier now, as they have found a way around it.

The two routes share nothing.

Not really close...the summit is 300 meters higher than his high point....he didn't even make it to the NE ridge, and the Three Steps are no joke. That's a lot of climbing.

Thanks Christopher and safe travels!

Glad you enjoyed it and all the best for your own adventure to this beautiful place.

Thank you :)

Lots of permafrost. Most of what you see as dirt is mostly dirty glacier ice covered in dust and gravel. .

I met a guy when i studied in nepal named tengrath sherpa, he summited everest in 2004 and he used to tell me what a behemoth of a mountain it is and it feels like being in a different planet at that altitude and it all feels like a dream but a very dangerous dream in which u have to stay awake and mind every step you take, slight slip would send you down the mountaing into the roaring abyss of the long spread himalayas.the main objective was not only reaching the summit but getting the heck down, after the tiring climb to the top and thats when the clock starts to tick lying ahead unpredictable weather, fear of avalanches,your body is shutting down slowly and u see slopes and icefalls u have to traverse through the body criea for help after spending time at the death zone where oxygen is depeleted making your brain go awry. To get down and go back home and recoup your body and the thought of the times that were spent in the mountain inspite of the hardwork it took to finally reach the top and see the curvature earth and the entire himalayas to sudden realization that you are at the top of the world, This feeling will forever be haunting me to see the view that only few people in this world has seen is something else.

The nice thing is that at that point, if you happen to have a set of skis, you can make it back down much quicker.

@@gregkosinski2303 With 20-30lbs being about the max you should carry to the actual summit, people don't carry an additional 10lbs of just about anything at that altitude and incline, much less 6' long skis strapped to a backpack. A very small handful of chads have done it though. Hans Kammerlander holds the title currently and that mfer even did it without oxygen which is ludicrous in itself.

+Frank N Stein Thanks Frank - the following year in 2012 I managed to reach 8848m!

+Grant “Axe” Rawlinson Well done.

+Grant “Axe” Rawlinson didn't you reach the everest in yr 2012?

yes it was 2012.

+Callme Ishmael I agree with you completely! This was the first 3d fly through I made - since this time I have tried to make them faster and shorter with more interesting captions - (see my K2 fly through) - appreciate your comments.

+Callme Ishmael I would also suggest less of the swinging left and right.

+Grant “Axe” Rawlinson what

+Callme Ishmael ...............you can speed up the video by clicking the gear- icon on the lower right of the screen and choose 1.25, 1.5 (no-audio) or 2.0 playback speed.

Green boots has been moved and he’s on the South Col route....not this one

Rip...

10 hours.

Hi, this was the first ever three d fly through I made, since then I have learnt and refined the process and don't move the camera around so much, thanks for your feedback anyway.

Thanks for making these! Keep them coming!

This no klingon, this Chekov still counts.

Yes Everest is a very enticing challenge to climbers, and the more people who die there seems to attract even more climbers to the mountain. But having said that, more people does not necessarily mean more deaths. In general the deaths are caused by poor decision making (as with what happened to a number of climbers in 1996, 2006 and 2012).
