Everest: Khumbu Icefall 4-23-16 

Amazing, thanks for sharing thrilling experience, really appreciated 🙏

Twice per year, The Sherpa set route through Icefall, lash + set ladders, fix ropes, and maintain passage (shifting when conditions demand), and risk their lives with each step.Then we arrive with our GoPro's and our cool gear and display ourselves as brave heroes. In 2014, 16 Sherpas died in this Icefall. This year 3 more. In fact, 1/3 of all deaths on Everest are Sherpas, irrespective of the fact that they are the strongest, most experienced climbers on the mountain, and with the most summits. Real Hero: The Sherpa.

I’m not a climber but love to watch videos on it. This one really helps me see what the climber experiences in ice flow. Never seen that before. Thank you.

Sherpas are some of the most amazing human beings on the planet!

Great video. I would have rather heard the natural sound though

My legs were frozen below my knees, Just watching this video. I couldn't cross one of those cracks. I honour the Sherpas and those who made it across. I even honour those who attempted it but couldn't make it.

Definitely the single best video I’ve seen detailing the complexities of the Khumbu Icefall, awesome stuff 👏🏼

If I hold the rope and walk on the ladder, I'll inevitably fall on one side or the other. That is pretty much a fact! So, I'll not climb Mt. Everest! On a serious note, respect to all the people who do it! You guys are amazing!

My journey to Base Camp was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Thanks for sharing.

00:53 no surprise that a man named Ang Pemba Sherpa just walks across a small ass ice ledge perched above a crack that drops deep into nothing... like a boss.

One of the best of the ice fall I’ve seen so far!!!

Mate I just found this and it's by far one of my favourite videos on RU-vid!! Keep it up my friend!!

Amazing footage!!These Icefall are dangerously beautifull

Wow! I’ve watched many Everest vids and this ranks rite up there-excellent filming, gotta like the descriptions of areas along the way, most new to me-watching the filmer carefully place crampons on the ladder rungs was excruciating🙈..keep thinking something’s gonna move! Many thanks, entertaining and a thorough, and fantastic job👍👍

Beautiful video and music! Thank you

Whenever i see that vertical ladder climb, i am happy to watch in youtube. You all are brave soul

Damn. Thats some serious vertigo inducing footage. Great footwork. The guide is badass. Climb safe. Regards.

This is the best video of khumbu icefall..👌🏼. Usually i dont like background music.. But in this video the music track matches the adventure and gels with the breathtaking surroundings..👍🏼

Amazing footage, thanks for sharing!

i love all the processes your videos hold, but i would have appreciated it more without music. thanks for posting this awesome footage! I love how you have marked and told us the names of all the things around you!

damn cigarette at that altitude?!

0:38 at this point I probably would turn around haha it is crazy what humans can do when we work together we can accomplish many unimaginable things thanks for the amazing footage man and god bless the people who do this for a living and the ones who have respect and not trash the beautiful mountain

Your video is amazing and so are the sherpas for doing this it's amazing what it must take people to climb Everest your videos are some of the best I've ever seen and I love the music with this video it fits it so well.

5:39 I almost fell off the couch 😥😥

OMG! This is crazy! 😱 Amazing pictures! I am really impressed by you guys! 😍👍👍👍

One of the best RU-vid videos I've ever seen

A fantastic video to watch. I am so interested in Everest and the people that climb it. Thank you for the video and i wish you all the luck for your future climbs. Stay safe x

Holy crap that stuff is scary! I'd be terrified to go through that. Thanks for the great videos, really enjoy watching these!

This video screams that only the experienced, equipped and those that are in excellent condition should go there.

God bless the Sherpa's.

Wanderful video of khumbu icefall & it's negotiation by the mountaineers.thanks u.tube.

Waited so long for complete route of Khumbhu icefall thanks man respect from India

Threateningly beautiful 🙌💙

Wow I’m so facinated with Everest I watch all videos and this one is definitely one of the best. Those crevasses are insane.

4k video makes it realistic. Watching it on my 31" LG monitor. Looks great!

fantastic man,respect from Brazil!

Climbing Everest is never my life goal, but that sight is worth dying to see! So much respect for Sherpas and thank you for this video

Wow. Wonderful Mount Everest, wonderful nature 😍😍😍

Beautiful video. So cool.

Thanks for the fixed ropes 👐

Xcellent coverage.

Wow, I was reading about this and had to see what it looked like and DANG, I would NEVER have the courage to navigate through this! I almost felt ill watching the climbers walking over the ladders perched above the massive cracks in the ice! I have been fascinated by mountaineering and love reading about it but it's something that I have no desire to do myself.

I feel my guts clenching just watching the video....amazing cinematography...

What a beauty! Thank you! :)

Is that ice around the crevices stable? Could one of the entire chunk of ice cave in and drop down ? How did you know ? That Pemba Sherpa is badass.

Fantastyczne miejsce, piękne ujęcia, świetna muzyka. Czuje tą moc pozdrawiam!

Wow thanks for this amazing video. Beautifully terrifying.

You guys are superhumans. 🔥🔥🔥

You can imagine the enourmous dimensions of the Khumbu Icefall Region, if You search the 'Gigapixel Foto Mount Everest' in the WWW. - Hundreds of Imagines were combined to a Panoramic Imagine of these area: Base Camp in front, K.Icefall in middle, Lhotse in the background, and above, the Peak of Mount Everest. Climbers are only moskito points in these surrounding!

That is the most badass thing I've ever seen

Dude u r crazyyy!!! Good job!!

Awesome video!!

God bless and keep you brave souls!

These videos make my toes itch but im absolutely fascinated by you crazy people. Nothing but respect to you all. Everytime i see one of those massive cracks i cant help wondering just how far down do they actually go and how utterly terrified i would be to fall in one. What if you fell in but survived...how would anyone be able to help you?? It scares me to death to think about it but im addicted to watching these videos. Its January 2021, im sitting on my wall in my garden surrounded by a whole 1 inch of snow supporting you Everest people 🙌 because thats about as much as i could cope with 👍👌👍 Your all amazing but absolutely crazy and i love your vids x

Favorite video on YT

God damnit the music just kills it man.

omg! some moment it seemed you stepped the air, not the ice. amazing, thank you! gonna join you soon

Is there any shame in crossing those ladders on your hands and knees? God, your Sherpa is like a mountain goat!💙

This video needs more views , how it feels while you crossing kumba icefall Thnx for the ice doctors , to set the route Long live sherpa

i love watching these everest adventures i wish i could be a hill climber i like the hill walking but i couldnt do that

Thank you from this video!Wonderfull! Scary! Strong!From Russia with love.

it's great! it's beautyful. my dream

Just got back from Nepal only managed to trek to camp 1 but am definitely going for a summit in 2020 around may time already planned everything and I’m only 1 week back home in Belfast lol ,wish me luck

It's amazing! Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷❤️🌄

The region of Mount Everest has a beauty all its own but people need to remember that beauty comes with a price as many have died there. Remember the goal is to come back alive and to reach the summit is only second to that. I may never climb Everest as I don't do well with high place but I do remember what happened in 1996 and how quickly things can turn back. I may not have been there but I sure learned about it from news reports on those days and documentaries later on in life.

It looks so easy in video when in reality it's one of the toughest feats a human can achieve...

Great video...one of the best in YT Is there any video of all stages ? If not, why dont you make one for does who dont have the gutz or have the money, understand whats like to climb the everest in a view point ? Thancks in advance

Mujhe bhi jana h kuchh idea chahiye

Great video, just wondering what time period this was during the day & could you actively feel the icefall shifting beneath you?

I don't know why but I'm just facinated by Everest!!! What people go through to get to to the top is just crazy!!!

Can you tell why these stairs do not have a covering to make the hiking easier on them?

Brazil 2021 great vídeo !!

hola . .. cuando comienza la expedición al Everest y comenzamos con las grietas de Khumbu Ice Fall, cuántos metros o cuántos kilómetros mide en distancia la cascada de hielo de Khumbu, hasta el campamento 1 he tenido siempre esa curiosidad

Great evrest chadn a sake pani yo vidio herer evrest ma nai chadi rakheko xu jjasto lgyo nice filing and ameging

Everest chadne me kitna kharcha aata he ???

Good foot work. I honestly was surprised the fixed lines weren't tattered from being spiked. I've heard so much about uninitiated climbers with crampons up there.

I don't know what I would hate more, scaling a mountain like everest or exploring a deep cave system like Plurdalen. It looks beautiful though. Terrifying and a complete hell, but beautiful and tranquil at the same time.

That is a great view of the ice fall. How many icefall rotations were there?

I heard Dr. Pottinger summited in 2016 on this expedition. Will you be uploading the rest of his footage? These GoPro climbs of his are the best I have seen online of Everest.

I like the captions! But I miss the sound of the wind blowing and people panting for breath.

One wrong move and you're done for. Respect to the sherpas.

Sooo...when people are decending, is it the same exact path? Do people ascending and decending get in the way and cross each other's path

hola PAUL podrias darme tu correo..quiero comentarte algo de montañismo y aclimatacion..

As dificuldades são muitas, mas é fascinante.

Wow, great video! I wonder tho, it’s an 8 minute look at the best moments,but how long did this decent actually take?

I am watching this awesome video on my sofa and I wish I had the energy and the courage to do something like this. I envy people who are able to do stuff like this. How long does it take to go to the summit ?

Which mountains should you climb before Everest?

It's fascinating

Awesome! What camera did you use?

Mesmerizing video

Awesome!

amazing

What was your climbing resume before Everest? I’ve have no mountaineering experience, but rather than buy stuff and head to Everest I’d rather make a 5-8 year progression out of it. If you have any advice on where to start I’d love to know! It blows my mind that some inexperienced climbers head up the summit knowing they’re a risk to everybody else.

Wow I cant belive you... You got to the everest!

Thankssss👍🏽💯

Thank you. Love this. How do you like those OR lobster claw gloves?

Buen video una pregunta que aplicacion o alguien sabe como se editan o ponen esas indicaciones o señales que aparecen en este video en los minutos 2:16, 17 y 18? Cuando señalan las cumbres? Se los agradecería sus respuestas. Saludos.

The snow shapes alone looks like a living entity only that its not in human form.

Uno de los mejores videos sobre escalada Everest. Los sherpas grandes!!! Y humildes. Pará ellos es un trabajo.

inshaAllah one day 🖤
