@@Summitic It might be true what you say, BUT did it stopped you from watching and enjoying the vlog? There is no need to be rude, one can say what they need to say in a polite and constructive way, don't you think?
@@YesTheoryAmazing adventure! I'm curious what drone Etienne used for this though, to be able to balance having something lightweight to carry, but powerful enough to hold it's position with the mountain winds and keep itself airborne in the thinner air. I assume it was a DJI, but they have such a wide range of models.
@@LucyferAngelI have been to 14k feet but on roads 💀 so oxygen is not a big issue for me but climbing will be. One day I'm definitely going to see that view.
You were very impressive to watch Jules! Calm, cool and collected. Fearlessly gliding up that mountain with ease and strength. You were clearly in your element! -- and that must surely instill great confidence in the people you guide.
The fact that they got all those supplies up there, pre 1900, is just amazing. You really have to appreciate what humanity has done and can do. Beautiful view.
The real person YES THEORY needs to thank is the camera man, he had to not only be safe with himself, and also to film everything for u. SO many times i saw him filming in front of the 3 of u, meaning, he had to move faster than u 3 just so he could look back... I hope u guys pay him more than well
The construction of the hut was directed by the Italian Alpine Club in 1889. The hut was pre-built in the valley, then brought to its final destination by mule and then by men, and assembled on site.
As a disabled person who used to be a backpacking guide and can now barely handle a light stroll, I am super grateful to Yes Theory for bringing viewers along to witness some of the most beautiful places on earth that I will never be able to see.
There are some beautiful places you can still go. If you're looking for something with altitude lol have you ever been to Pike's Peak? There is a cog railway to the top of the mountain and once you are up top the greatest donuts in the world can be bought at the summit. It's like 14,100 feet so almost as tall as the mountain the boys ascended. You can also drive to the summit since there is a road to the top and the world's highest road race takes place there once a year but since I've done both a few times the railway has the most amazing views in my opinion and feels more magical since you don't have to worry about going off the road to your death
I also love Pikes Peak since you can stay for a few days in Colorado Springs or Manitou Springs to acclimate to the altitude around 8000ft as someone with what can be extreme asthma I couldn't have done it any other way since i live in an area that's only a few feet above sea level. My sisters husband was stationed at Peterson Air force base so I always spent a week at the 8000before even trying to go higher since the 8000 gave me pretty horrible altitudensickness
As someone who does mountaineering and videography (but never together), watching Etienne was a treat. Getting the shots is already difficult. Add to that managing the equipment (drone, RC, lenses, batteries, etc) is absolute insane. Huge props to him.
People always say what an accomplishment it is to hike up certain places, but I can never understand how incredible of an achievement it was to build these types of buildings!
Jules and etienne are the mvp here. Also when I saw the first hut i was like 'nah that'll be empty' - totally full. Even the final one had a bunch of people. How the hell did these buildings even get made, with all the materials needing to be carried all the way up there...
And back in the day, who carried the Queen up, when going up yourself is hard enough (unless she chose to make the climb herself - what are the odds in a patriarchal society)?
@@rebeccacollins1218I was so curious about that too! No offense to these guys climbing and filming and all that, but the idea of a queen climbing a goddamn mountain sort of steals that thunder in my mind.
Amarr's enthusiasm for life is not only world class, it's completely infectious. That hotel is absolutely bonkers, the efforts to not just build it, but for regular staff to treat you to high quality cuisine at such altitudes is just crazy. I can only imagine what a cherished experience this must have been. Yes Theory are absolutely killing it in 2024. Onwards to the next 10 years and even higher highs.
Agree with the content part, but it's not free, You are paying for it so many ways, with your bandwidth fees/recharge, with your time watching the ads/YT Premium, if you are watching this on Android or Chrome Browser then you are paying with your whole digital life just collateralized to google with this 35mins video.
Not your typical viewer here, I guess! 64 year old whose biggest adventures are most likely behind me. I'm living vicariously through your videos... and loving every minute!
Did this climb last summer, what made it harder for me and my mate was the fact that instead of sleeping in Gnifetti hut, we slept in a tent next to it on a glacier during thunderstorm. And on top of that all our water froze overnight so we climbed dehydrated. Good thing they had warm tea and pizza in the Capanna margherita hut
I did this climb in 2018 and i'm glad the elements were in our favour. I live in southern Germany close to the the alps and it sometimes feels like as if the mountains have their own will. On video, the building looks smaller than it really is. It's a really massive structure once you stand in front of it and i can't imagine how much effort went into building it.
@@drumstick74 behind the scene. We already do kinda get it of course. I just mean he makes it look like it’s easy and it would be cool to see how difficult it was to pull that off
The shared love and brotherhood is beyond compare. I lost my best friend in Jan of 2022 to cancer and I miss that connection more with each passing day. I myself have now been fighting cancer for the last 5 months and just finished 8 weeks of chemo and radiation treatments and Yes Theory vids always bring me peace and joy. I would say that I am envious of your love and shared experiences but it would better be described as that I am profoundly appreciative of your connected souls and the life's journey you have yet to share. I admire you all and thank you for being worthy of it. Peace
Hi 👋 thank you so much for sharing. First I want to send my condolences for the loss of your friend… Then send you strength and courage for your own battle. I myself have someone close fighting cancer at the moment so I completely understand how difficult it is. Sending love your way ❤️🩹🙏 -Thomas
I wish I so much younger than I am. You see, I am 71 yrs old. But that is why I wish I was around 32 or so. I was one of many people who desired adventure. Still do, but I'm slow now. Not to mention medical issues. But I've hiked the John Muir trail from Whitney Portal to the Yosemite Valley. I've also spent winters skiing in the Utah Mountains. I also skied while pregnant, that freaked out my OB/GYN. I've explored the Eastern desert near Moab and have hiked the Rim to Rim in the Grand Canyon....the harder way South to North. My children sometimes hated me for dragging them along what I called "The Scenic Route". Those were usually taking trails into the mountains in summer and in winter exploring the deserts. My children are older now and the type of work I used to do wore out my knees and back. I have also traveled on medical missions to Ethiopia, Australia, and Eastern Europe when I worked for an NGO. I miss traveling and seeing new places and living with locals in their homes, learning their culture and eating the type of foods that they ate. I miss that so much. So I watch YES, living vicariously through you, spreading kindness and live where you go. Bravo!
@@nataliaalfonso2662 yes I did and I glad I was able to them. I've met so many people in my travels, I've learned about many cultures because I actually lived with families, rarely staying in hotels. It's something I wish everyone can do. But if there is really reincarnation, I'll be first in line to come back. I should mention, I do not fear my death, to me it would be another adventure. But I figure, since historically my ancestors passed away well into their late 80's and 90's.
Really is quite amazing that a structure can be built so high up and remote. Can’t even begin to imagine how difficult it was to build. Thanks for sharing
This journey must have been the embodiment of seeking discomfort. Getting to see such an amazing sunrise in person after pushing through altitude sickness and all these other obstacles must have been one of the most enriching experiences ever. What a place for a hotel by the way, the fact that people actually went about building it at that altitude 100 years ago for a queen is crazy to think about. Keep up the good work Yes Theory, and can't wait to see where you end up next!
Thank for such a detailed and kind comment! It was indeed hard to film ourselves during the struggle with altitude.. but totally worth it regardless 🙏 we had a blast and loved the pizza and food up there!
Awww. Ammar is so compassionate, we all need a friend like that. Great job to all of you guys. May you two have many more years of great friendship & grow old together.
Your entire overcoming experience here is more than compelling on its own. But what you have treated us to (ETIENNE!!) starting at 30:00 is the most magnificent, spectacular scene and videography that I have seen in my 60+ years of life. I don't know if I'm ever going to take a crack at something like this again, but it was a privilege to share this experience with you. The closest I have remotely come to this was when I was 16. I rode my 10-speed bicycle up to the top of 14,000 foot Mount Evans in Colorado. Started at around 7,000 feet. Could completely relate to the slow, moment by moment, push after push after push. I rode very slowly!!!! But, as you have said here, it was worth it. Bravo! This video is, in itself, a mountaintop experience.
Etienne these shots are craaaaazyyy! Insanely beautiful!✨ Imagine having to hike, stop, front, back🤸 doing all of the extra stuff to get the best shots, you're a trooper man wow!! Respect 🫡✨
Great video. I’ve been there 4 years ago and it brought back all the great memories from that trip. Luckily it wasn’t as exhausting for me though, because I grew up in the mountains. So, huge respect for you guys doing it without a lot of experience. 👍
That sunrise drone-shot was 🤌 As an avid trekker and a hobbyist photographer, I always struggle carrying my gear, which is just a camera, a telephoto, a wide, and a tripod. Trekking all the way in that snow, with ALL the gear and a drone set, mad respect to Etienne. And love you guys for doing this. But seriously, the entire sunrise scene was one of the best shots ever.
For those rightfully noticing and giving props to our videographer Etienne, here is his channel and his Instagram is linked in the description go follow his work and give him props directly! 😁🙏@@etienneclaret7019 He was hiking sometimes ahead of us or staying back, total beast, definitely outdoing Ammar and I. Growing up in the Swiss mountains though this is his natural habitat 😄
The wide drone shot in the morning of the hotel was sick! Would love a video about how you guys make these kind of video's. It reminds me of National Geographic filmmaking.
I've been watching Yes Theory for years. Bought some of their merch drops, supported their first film, etc! So proud of how far they have come and have incorporated the way I live my life and create my content daily. Thanks for still making videos guys! Love what you are all doing
I found this video, clearly ripped off and posted in about 20 parts on TikTok and immediately searched it out on RU-vid so that I could give the rightful creator a like and subscribe and I'm glad I did! AMAZING VIDEO that as someone who is a supervisor at a ski resort, I absolutely loved!
This place was completely rebuilt in 1979-80, the old hut was taken down and none of it remains, it’s not 100 years old. Still absolutely a crazy feat just being there.
Seeing that final drone shot of the hotel was amazing it's really hard to tell how massive it really is from the shot. That was amazing work from Etienne, just amazing, don't ever lose him.
I hope you guys know it’s not just young people you’re inspiring… I’m 54, and I absolutely love your channel and your adventures. You guys give me hope for future generations.
I am both grateful to the hikers and apprehensive about mountain terrain. Even the most experienced climbers can run into the unexpected - but what a rush! My climbing and hiking days are over, but it's so enjoyable to see others who can bring them to us. Thanks.
Another amazing video. I sat there with my 11-year-old son and watched this together.. And the way in which you guys do your cinematography figured he’d appreciate it since he wants to be a traveling photographer when he grows up. I’m happy to be a yes theory fan since the beginning
I've only found your channel and watched this week's program. I'm in awe of your ability and determination to climb to the highest hotel in Europe. Great video, thank you.
Being to warm in the cold can be just as bad. In short had a guy in my unit put on his gumby suit (rain gear) under his cammies as we were humping up Mt Fuji. He thought it would keep him warmer, forgetting that as we hiked up the mountain with our gear on we will warm up fast. The Gumby suit caused him to be to hot and was sweating more, also dehydrating himself faster. He would freeze more when we stopped for breaks from all the sweat. Part way up the mountain he just collapsed and died from hypothermia caused by actually wearing to much and overheating...
I swear to God Ettiene, the cameraman, is one of the best cameraman I've ever seen. Almost the first half of the video I was wondering if the cameraman was with you guys because some shots covered a big area around you guys and it looked impossible for someone to go ahead or fall back that much. Amazing shots 📸 too. Props to him man!
Truly Sensational in every way possible. Hats off to the whole team for bringing such amazing content to this generation and the coming generations as well. 🙌🙌
Im so glad to see Ammar again, he must have one of the worlds best attitudes/mindsets. Love this Journey for you and to see the beautiful friendship u have while making the world a beter place with your stories. Thank you!
so many raw CHILLS watching this video!!! the ability you've cultivated to convey emotions through these visuals and stories is insane. ive never felt so sketched out by a hut in my life, even through a screen! happy anniversary T Boogie and Ammar
The Matterhorn's view in the background is absolutely insane. It's crazy to see mountain shaped like a triangle like this. Huge props to Mother nature🌱........and camera guy obviously❤️
@@mattarellopazzosgravato9041 I don't think you can see it. It would be in the clouds on the right side roughly at 30:49. Most of the drone shots show either the Italian alps or the Zumsteinspitze.
@@thorodin2367 thank you, i thought it wasnt in the video since its so recognizable. on one hand tho i believe this would be from the italian side, not the typical matterhorn you see in photos from the swiss side, but still it would be impossible not to recognoze it
@@mattarellopazzosgravato9041 Yes, from this side it would look more like a rock wall but you could still pick out the peak. Maybe it's briefly visible during the very quick shots when they are skiing down, but I gave up on pausing the video.
sure go ahead plus you have one of the strongest passport too so you won’t have much trouble getting visas. all though i will say first few trips you might struggle to figure out what to do n not but with time you will learn it. all the best to your adventure.
These have become tiny movies, with such intricate, cinematic, masterful views and camera angles, right down to the music scores. Absolutely amazing, as always. I love Yes Theory so much!!
Ive followed you guys a long time, this is by far my fav and most interesting channel, as someone who has always dreamed of doing this i am unable due to certain circumstances, i live in Alabama U.S and have never been outside the U.S but watching you guys is awesome and i get to see the world , thank yall for what yall do! Much luv! Be safe!
First of all, EPIC drone shots, simply out of this world 😍🫨 Second of all, what an incredible adventure & destination, guys! The sunrise was a God’s blessing! You have the most beautiful friendship, I admire you both so much! ❤️
Long time viewer here. Just wanted to say thanks for making good content for many years & this is the video that made me finally purchase something from your Shop.
Just watching the hike on skis was exhausting :D Congratulations, one one of your best films! Those views were amazing and skiing down must have been sooo satisfying!
We do this every summer with our kids. Hut to hut hikes are amazing in Austria. My wife did it 6 months pregnant with our first born along with my 68 yr old German mother in law. In June having to cross snowfields.
If you want to say yes to everything and seek discomfort then do Kilimanjaro. It's 2000m higher and I've done it. It's one of the highest places on Earth you can go as a novice unless you are on a plane. I sought discomfort in 1992 just before I travelled down the Congo in a pirogue for 300 miles during the last days of Mobuto Sese's regime. I forgot my malaria protection meds and my mosquito but I sought discomfort. I was young and foolish but I will fall asleep tonight remembering the wonderful and inspiring memories of those difficult times and most amazing people. I watch your videos and I recall myself at your age. It makes me happy, so happy I cry. A mix of melancholy but also a salute to the next generation. Keep doing what you do. I'm too old for your new project but I couldn't agree with it more. The more we know about each other, the more we will realise that we aren't 195 countries, we are one world. One species. Borders mean nothing. All that matters is our human capacity to love, to care and to not be assholes if we choose. Anyway, I am an old fat man and in that sense, this comment exposing my past, is my discomfort. Keep on Keeping on Guys
Congratulations gentlemen! I will live vicariously and enjoy this journey via video! That was a tough climb and you earned that sunrise! It was magnificent!!
They should called this place "Valhalla".watch this minutes here 30:17 you looking up, cloud covered,long shaped building, having a feast high up in the mountain.the view is just magnificent..plus viking-ish bgm.epic video.
This is something that is simply perfect, the sensations that it can transmit trough a screen, is like... there is no words that can describe it. Thank u Yes Theory Team!
I’ve been to Margherita Hut two years ago, despite the weather (it snowed all night and when we woke up there was something like -15 and strong wind) it was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. Also sharing it with friends and my uncle (he is a mountain guide) was something really special!
