Climbing Mount Everest - The Descent 

I’ve seen a lot of Everest documentaries, but none of them have captured the actual experience the way your videos have. Really felt like I was up there with you at times.

Forget National Geographic or any other documentary maker. This was the most detailed, comprehensive and interesting look at what it's like to climb Mt. Everest. I felt like I was right there step by step. Congrats!

Probably the best Everest climbing video series on the Internet ...

Because your Sherpa knows how badly everything change in just a few minutes. God bless him for getting you down fast.

What an amazing record of your adventure. Congratulations. One of the best and most detailed accounts of a successful summit expedition. Thanks for taking us along!

That guy coming down above you was an absolute clown, imagine putting everyone else at risk cause you can’t follow along with everyone else 😤 Congrats on the summit, good to see you safe and looking forward to seeing what’s next 😄

Thanks Ryan. I have been watching Everest climbs for over 60 years. Yours was the best coverage I have ever seen. I am 83. Although I will never climb Everest myself I came close through you.

Finally someone is showing the way down, thank u

That Sherpa is too cool. He's so politely saying: get a move on buttstick.

Honestly this is one of the best vlog series I could ever find about Everest summit.

Now that I’ve climbed Mt. Everest in 2 days, from my couch, I can mark it off my list of things to do:). Seriously, that was pretty amazing. Great accomplishment! Keep up the great work and videos!

Ryan, I have followed the Everest climbs for many years but have never seen footage like yours. It was wonderful and truly took us along on your journey, I don't want to make you blush but you are an impressive man with a amazing future. Thank you

The Sherpa is experienced and knows that going down is the most critical part of the climb. Fatigue, and everything. I love how he clips it for you without even looking at you. 😂😅 I think even parenting should be that way at some point. Teach them the hard way. Congratulations on your summit.

Most detailed ascent and descent of Everest that I have seen…I’ve been riveted for weeks! You stayed positive, relaxed and confident, and you narrated just like you would with friends or family…very natural. Congrats on such an amazing accomplishment at 19, and I look forward to your future endeavors!

Kinda sad this series is over now… that was great..

I’ve watched every video on RU-vid about climbing Mount Everest. Even so, I had no idea the yellow band had rocky technical sections or that the Geneva Spur was so steep. Great job of detailing your climb. Pay no attention to the haters. Still a huge accomplishment climbing Everest. Again, great filming as well.

Ryan I’ve watched hundreds of videos and documentaries, but your videos have by far being the best I’ve ever watched! Absolutely brilliant !! Viewers took every step with you! Well done👍

Thank you Ryan!!!!!! You inspired me to be a better person and to challenge myself! I am a 66 year old female! I I enjoy your videos! You ROCK!

Outstanding Ryan, what a massive achievement. The descent of the icefall looked even more dangerous than going up, I can't believe you were hopping over those huge cracks. Your choice of footage is spot on, and the way you explain things is crystal clear. Great to hear you're planning more adventures in future, I hope you take us with you.

Thanks Ryan. I'm so glad you made it safely back down. I'm over 70yr and wish I was younger. I have told some of my young friends about you and they have been watching this journey to the summit of Everest.You are an inspiration. I'm looking forward to your next interview with Alan and your next journey of videos. Best of luck to you young man. Love your attitude. xx

Once you get home, I’d love to hear your thoughts on this trip after you have reflected a bit :) what you learned, the scariest moments for you and maybe what’s next for you

Absolutely the best actual footage of the Everest mission

This is an incredible documentation, the team you went with was definatly focused on your safety. The pace people carry in extreme conditions is important to keep blood flow and prevent mental fatigue. You definalty were on point!!! Heres to a safe summit and to your next adventure!!!

Buddy the most accidents happen in the way down, he wanted to get you off the mountain ASAP. The weather was turning….. he’s a great man. Don’t knock it ! Well done 👍🏼

Ryan, I've been reading about and watching all things Everest since 1996. Your content is truly the best I've ever seen regarding the conditions of the Lhotse Wall, Camp 3, the summit, the Khumbu Icefall, etc I felt as though I was there, hiking with with you during your ascent and descent of Everest. Thanks for such great content! I am inspired by your ability to kick a$$, in putting together such a magnificent experience! Keep it up!

You’ve done what no one else has done with these Everest videos! Watched you everyday from the beginning. Outstanding! The Hilary Step, avalanche and the random dude repelling down in top of you were pretty scary. At least you didn’t have to deal with hoards of people coming up on your decent. Great job!!

your sherpa wants down fast cuz he is smart

By far the most in depth everest videos ever. What a journey. Stay safe on your next adventure

who would have guessed the descent finale was the top stunna of it all? oh man the khumbu icefall glacier is no joke - especially after you are already exhausted. good grief. thx for showing us how all of this everest experience really is ryan you are very generous. 🎉

Thank you, Ryan, for taking me up (and down) the mountain with you, I loved it all! Keep posting! 😊

Best Everest footage of All Time. It's not even close. I don't think you realize how good your series is Ryan. Blown away.

Really enjoyed the entire journey with you. You will inspire many, Ryan. Really appreciate your effort to stay with the posting. I've watched everything Everest for 40 years, and i must say your trip captured something unique. I thought I had seen it all. Not even close.Thank you so much. Future Q&A: What was the sketchiest moment?

Some of the best footage I've seen on YT.

Most of us will never get there. Thanks for taking us along

Please do a question and answer video! I've been watching your videos on comfort of my sofa and though I have many uncomfortable feelings about the whole Everest tourist business you have shown yourself in the best possible light. For such a young man you show such integrity and calmness. Nothing seemed to phase you. I really would like to ask you what your most scary moment was - how were your true feelings on the summit? You kept so reserved when encountering ' selfish ' climbers-how do you feel about them? Do you have any opinions about the future of Everest? I'd love to hear you and Alan have a heart to heart 🙏

First video I have seen that tracks the whole journey up and down Everest...great job

Thank you Ryan, that was an incredible journey to watch and feel a part of

Ryan - super thanx for allowing you to take us with you .... If I was 30 I would do it, but at 66 I went thru you. Thank you.

Really enjoyable set of Everest videos! Well done. For the first time I can actually get a sense of what it is like. The Hilary step and the Khumbu ice fall definitely give me the heeby jeebies! The drop- offs at the Hilary step are freaky!

The weather wasn't looking good. I'm sure that's why the Sherpa was in a hurry. Also, he wanted to make sure you weren't too exhausted to properly clip on. He was looking out for you. No shame in that. For the most part, it looks like you had outstanding weather conditions. Can I ask a question? Why wouldn't you rappel down the steep parts, rather than going down front ways? That is, if you have rappelling knowledge? We all knew you made it back, but man, I was tense watching you come back through the Icefall. Thank you so much for taking us along on the adventure of a lifetime. I'm kind of sad, that this is the end.

I've watched and enjoyed every single video of this Everest adventure. Your commentary has been superb and the video content outstanding. I'm sorry that you didn't get a good view from the summit but the main thing is that you got up and down safely. I'm looking forward to watching your future videos. Thanks for all your hard work in documenting everything. Take care.

Congratulations! And thank you for taking us with you on your amazing journey! I've been watching Everest footage for many years, and your footage is truly in a class by itself. It really gives us an idea of what it would be like to climb Mount Everest. These are without question the best Everest videos I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of them. Well done ma boy!

I’ve watched hundreds of Everest documentaries and blogs over the last 15 years and this is the first one that actually made me say, “No fucking way!” Great footage though and congrats!

So amazing Ryan! You did a great job! Thanks for sharing your videos! I can honestly say I have never seen the Kumbu ice fall this late in the season. It's crazy how much it changes! You did it! You should be proud of yourself. I know a lot of viewers are proud of you as well. Climb on Ryan!

Congratulations, it’s been great going along on your journey with you - thanks for taking me along. It gives a new perspective on just how difficult the route is. Gosh, some of those crevasses in the Khumbu icefall are huge. I’m glad you made it up and down safely

What an amazing achievement. The “anyone with a bit of fitness and 2 months training could do it” comments are hilarious. People train for years and still die. Congratulations on your achievement and good luck for the future

Ryan Mitchell - Your videos and documented adventure is truly and beyond amazing. I was dizzy and felt like I was climbing with you. May God continue to bless your adventures and keep you safe.

Ive been watching Everest summit / experience videos and you by far did the best job in terms of documenting and footage. Thank you for sharing this and congrats on your accomplishment. Your Sherpa seems like someone you def want on your team!

I think I’ve watched every Everest video on YT but yours are by far the best. Footage on Hilary Step was brilliant but I’ve definitely made up my mind…..I’m staying on solid ground and will leave mountain climbing to the experts, with you being one of them. Thank you ❤

Wow Ryan! First of all big congrats for whatyou achieved. Starting with a low condition of not be able to run a mile. And 18 months later reaching the top of the world. Respect, man! Another reason why I wanted to react is the quality of your document, the brightness of the images and a perfect image we get by your cool narration. I've been watching mountain clips for years now, since a youth mate climbed K2 and Everest. And I have to admit that this is the clearest guide of the Everest descent. I can imagine how it changed your life. I wish you lots of fun and joy during your future climbings and hope you stay safe and free from bad accidents. Definitely will follow you here to witness your next projects. Greetings from Belgium. Bart.

Well done Ryan you smashed it and well done to the Sherpa team for making it happen year in year out sad it’s ended but looking forward to what comes next stay safe

Congrats on your Everest achievements! I know I could never do it, but being on the journey with you was truly amazing! So proud of your hard work with a smile and good humour!

Thank you Ryan for documenting your amazing adventure. You did great all the way, every painful step. What an achievement.

What a journey!!!! Absolutely fantastic video. You had me on the edge of my seat the whole trip. I tip my hat to you young man. To have it all so together at such a young age. I expect great things from you and will definitely follow your future expeditions. Thanks for taking us along. And be safe!

Your series is a very valuable asset. It is one of the most complete video logs of an ascent of Everest in high definition. Thank you for documenting it.

Ryan thank you. I have watched numerous videos on Everest. This is by far the best I have ever seen. The videos were incredible felt like I was there. You are an incredible mountaineer for your age. K2 next!

Seems like the Sherpa recognized your abilities and adapted his pace accordingly. Unlike many, you prepared properly for your Mt. Everest climb.

I'm glad you didn't get injured when that guy came down the up rope. It's more than just being inconsiderate - it's about disregarding other people's safety.

Your filming, editing, and narrating skill, along with your pleasant attitude (even making negative things sound not too bad) and climbing ability shined all through this series. Well done!

I've never been to Everest, but I have done some high altitude mountaineering. I appreciate how much effort it must have taken to prepare for, maintain and manage all aspects of this video work. The quality is excellent - one of the highest quality video logs of climbing Everest that I've seen. Super fun to watch. Well done!

You just completed something huge! You’ve been a joy to watch. I will keep watching for sure. Congratulations!

No one ever shiws the descent glad you showed it. I have enjoyed your videos on mountaineering

Wow you can really see the season window closing as you descend down the mountain through the changes in its environment.

Been following your journey from the UK..Best I've watched feels like we have climbed Everest with you...Huge well done you have done amazing

Ryan, what a remarkable journey! Watching you navigate your ascent/descent was truly amazing. Thank you for allowing us to see Everest through your videos. They are the best I've seen. Congratulations!

We homeschool, and we were learning about Everest so your series was educational for us! Me and my kids were rooting for you and cheering when you reached the top! Amazing feat, and we wish you much success in all you do!

Ryan .. Best series of Everest videos by a country mile .... I have never seen better ... Well done.

Mountaineering is like my horror genre. I find it fascinating both from a psychological & physiological standpoint. I have no desire to actually climb like this, but follow the season on Everest nonetheless. Your videos gave a great perspective on the reality of this kind of climbing. Bravo to you for your accomplishment as well as your documentation. Appreciate it.

After all the years of watching content on Everest adventures I have never been so happy to check my RU-vid feed and see one of your new videos. I’m sad it’s come to an end but over the moon you’ve managed to achieve what you set out to do. Thank you for taking us on your journey. 19 years of age and already summited Everest 😮 is it K2 next? I’ll be interested to see what becomes of this channel. P.s it was this video what (pardon the pun) had me on cliff edge watching you come down through the kumbu icefall 😱. I imagine many have accidents there due to exhaustion and feeling like they’re too big for their boots after achieving summit. Well done Ryan!

Congratulations for you and the team for the most important part of an Everest trip, coming back to finish the story.

Your monologue in the end best part of the series!.....big Congrats for your achievements, and wishes for many more to come....thanks for taking us with you on this awesome experience

Amazing…looking forward to following. I’ve been fascinated with Everest videos and this was by far the best and most realistic of them all. Felt like I was there 👏

Best Everest Series. Congratulations ryan.thank you for taking all of us along.

Amazing series. Thank you for taking us along. I am really looking forward to seeing where you go in life. You have a great attitude.

Thank for allowing me to climb to the top of the through you. BRAVO!!!!

You had an awesome Sherpa!!! Thank goodness he helped get you there and BACK alive! 🙏🏻 Good job!

Congratulations Ryan! Thank you for taking us along on your journey!

Amazing! Glad you made it back down safely. Thank you for sharing your accomplishment and adventure 😀

Excellent excellent excellent video!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with the world! My stomach was in knots watching the icefall footage. You did great!!

Thanks Ryan, I’ve watched a 100 video’s of Everest over the years, this was by far the best I have seen, incredible to feel the experience on every part of the climb!!

I follow any Vlogs that details going to Everest base camp or even summiting that elusive mountain but yours is the best, the clearest and the most natural. Congratulations!!! Stay healthy and keep fit. The change that you did and committed yourself into doing is the uttermost self-love you could ever give yourself. Well done, young man.

Congratulation on your achievement! It was a pleasure to follow your journey.

One of the best, if not the best vlogs of mount Everest summit I have seen. It's been a joy every day to watch them. What an amazing achievement by you. You are definitely inspirational and gained a subscriber and fan in me, keep doing awesome!!!

Amazing videos , we tuned in everyday .. The footage was so well put together, it gave a great sense of the reality of climbing Everest. Well done 👍 and congratulations 🎉

As an older person with multiple traumatic brain injuries it would be unwise to attempt anything at altitude. I've only had one regret and that is that I can't visit Everest (and the other 8,000m's) but your videos have been my vicarious trek up the mountain. Thank you for allowing us on this journey with you.

Thanks for taking us in your journey. Hope to see more of your adventures.

Well done Ryan. Really enjoyed your adventure. You had a great attitude even when you were feeling shitty. I hope you turn these videos into a Ted Talk or something to inspire others. I hope your dog is proud of you. 😃

A massive achievement for a young man!! seeing you standing proudly at the summit was so emotional, I think everyone following your journey felt incredibly proud of you. well done from Australia 🇦🇺

Best chronicle I’ve seen of climbing and descending Mount Everest. And I’ve seen a lot. But this was so detailed I felt I was seeing it anew. Thank you!!

You're the GOAT for showing this descent 🤘😎🤘 safe travels!

I am so proud of you, you should be so proud of what you’ve accomplished and who you have become.

I have loved following your expedition everyday for the last few weeks, and I am so sad that this series has come to an end, but what an absolutely amazing accomplishment Ryan, congratulations! You are a true inspiration.

So proud of you man . what an accomplishment, at 19. The world is your oyster . 💪🏻👊👏

Thankyou for sharing your adventure! We have thoroughly enjoyed all your videos, and finally somebody filmed the descent! Something we have always wanted to see. You documented everything so well!

Man.....Big time congrats. WHAT A MILESTONE!!!!.

Truly an inspirational person in his ability into overcoming lethargy and no direction. Recommend this video experience for any person seeking purpose and direction in life.

Thanks for showing how it is on Mt Everest! Congrats for completing your journey

Hands down the best footage I’ve ever seen of Mt Ev thank you for this.

Awesome! Sherpa was smart getting down fast.

Thank you for sharing your journey. Felt like we were climbing the mountain with you. This satisfied my desire to climb mount Everest so one less person on the mountain now lol!
