Rolex presents: South Face Annapurna (Extended) 

Just getting to base camp and getting to see a mountain like this would be the trip of a lifetime.

Relógio bonito sempre marca a hora certa

Smart man. Magical thinking won't make the excessive snow go away. Climbing into avalanche danger is a gamble for "glory".

Fantastic!

And the mountain had spoken !

Acabo de suscribirme por que me encantan estos documentales que me ayudan mas a apreciar este maravilloso planeta que se nos ha dado por nuestro hogar en este efímero paso por el.

Annapurna: The man eater.

From Nepal after long time

Those porters are super human.

Insane that this is their first 8000er

I thought for sure they'd find a Rolex watch on the summit from the 1950 expidition, still keeping correct date and time.

What is that huge mountain behind them at 10:42?

„Victory is living“ can be interpreted two ways: Truly living, being up there climbing, is a victory, even if you end up dying. When the video started, that‘s how I interpreted it. However, at the end of the video, I saw it differently: Turning around and not completing the climb is ok, because leaving the mountain still living can be considered a victory. How did you guys interpret it?

Millions of views and no comments...cmon people

how has no one commented on this masterpiece

I am the sixth person to comment here. Hope to do remarkable things in life for myself, my family, my society, my country and my blue dot world to remember life time. Living is victory!

My neighbor climbed Annapurna. Turned back five times over ten years before summiting sixth expedition

Rolex is a perfect choise

Dream team! So much wise and experience here 👌

Anyone who ventures into climbing a mountain like this has got to get his or her head examined.

Emuito legao parabem atodos voceis

Great

WHAT A WONDERFUL AND EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURE THIS WAS! AND WHO ACTUALLY WAS FILMING OR RECORDING THE VIDEO, DID WITHOUT OF DOUBT AND EXCELLENT WORK IS UNDENIABLE.

Very good, wise and experienced team... Took right decision at right time

Brave men pushing themseves to the limit to try and conquer Mother nature at the same time risking their lives to do so.Utterly compeling.

Fantastic watch ⌚,✅

Rolex doesn't know mountaineering.. pay your 💰. These guys know what's up

You tube Obrigado ❤eu frio não geladeiras 🥶pouco Itaoca São Paulo Brasil 👉🏼☃️👈⛄frio não

if in doubt there's no doubt. may as well live to climb another day after all it's just climbing for the sake of climbing not like it has to be done.

15:47 appears to be the rough location where Ian Clough was killed in 1970.

Brave people and Brave decision❤️❤️❤️

Ok

Located in Nepal 🇳🇵

Better to climb everest even twice compare climbing this mountain once the trail and weather never been good in this mountain

Im from Washington, the mountains are very different over there. In Washington there are trees and forest. It a living wonder land , there the mountains have very few living things and no timber . It looks like the moon

Who would wear an automatic watch over something rugged that can measure heart rate /spo2 ..and altitude...

❤️ from 🇧🇩

the matrix is real have no doubts - you are here years after this was posted.....

Why does this have 1.6M views but only 40 comments??

there's nothing more important than stay alive and come back, compare to summit

Third time watching this. I read Herzog's book 30 years ago and even he lamented the endless snow on Annapurna

My dudes picked Annapurna for their first 8000m climb. Balls. Also, how has this been posted for 9 years and no one has commented till yesterday?

Subtitles… bummer. I watch these when I’m falling asleep.

Rolex where even if you reach the mountain top, there still is a fake "waitlist".

Wise decision to turn back ,think not yourself but also your family...

Ich liebe Deutsch leute ist es besonder

Quero saber se é verdade que a caixa do Rolex é ado relogio oriente

❤❤❤

Dünyanın en tehlikeli dağı Annapurna.Geri dönmek en doğru karar.Tüm ekibe tebrikler

English please

The end title really spoke to me and its something I tell myself when I have to turn back, I watched this documentary many years ago. "Living is Victory"

Peliculas

Good

🌎👍❤

This was the best documentary I've seen yet of the great mountains and climbs. Very well done. I learned so much from this one video.

“3/4 of the way we had to climb back down to ask for directions.”

Da la sensación viendo el documental, que esta gente no sabe exactamente a donde iba.. eso de que “the mountain is not ready” no se.. llamadme loco, pero se trata de la cara sur del annapurna, que es probablemente junto con la cara rupal del nanga parbat o rutas como la magic o polish line del K2, de lo más jodido que hay de escalar en este planeta. Así que esa cara sur es muy difícil que este “ready” en algún momento, ya que hasta cuando hay ventanas de buen tiempo, lo normal, es que se lleve por delante a algún miembro de expedición. Desde luego, los que no están ready son ellos, no la montaña.

The deadliest of the 8000s.

Amazing journey. Great respect for all the alpinists.

Yikes the comments got wiped huh

Proof Nepali people are smarter than the rest of the world. Ain’t no Nepali local trying to ascend Annapurna. They like their lives. The locals must thing the climbers are suicidal.

Documental en español

pub pour rolex !

Legend...

You tube Obrigado ❤Parabéns Otimo legal oi eu surda Débora tchau 👋👋Parabéns 👍❤👏

Que bien chacra nina nina

Why the RU-vid algorithm decided to promote this, I'll never know! But I am so glad it did!

Only 2 comment what??

The Rolex We-Only-Climb-If-Conditions-Are-Perfect Mountaineering Team! Can't wait for the next installment.

Sensible thing to do. .....all you guys did well, enjoyed it there. Now give some quality time to your family.

They continued to make decisions based on the conditions and held emotions back to live another day.

Excellent photography. Thanks Rolex.

Comments were disabled that's why there was no comment. Is it too difficult to understand ?!?

Picking annapurna as ur first mountain, that's a bit sus

This is amazing I always admire the people that live in these harsh environments with mother nature and what he has to offer it is a challenge when I give up my life for that why not certain benefits and certain things you will never know or half because all you got is what you see but it’s beautiful. Hopefully one day we can see this in real life if you’re up to the challenge

1st

Amazing

Wow wonderful 👍 24:04

Es evidente 18

So beautiful ❤

Muito foda.

Sixth person to comment here.

Nice algorythm

So, Rolex features a failed summit? Okay, then.

chapeau, you're the winners :)

Good decision guys. Even though it must have been difficult at the time to decide to turn back. I wonder if you all ever get to climb Annapurna later on

❤️🙏💯

The French tend to give up too easily

hmm comments

Quitters

Essas paisagens são lindas de se ver! Maravilha!

Porters and guides left out of the video as they climbed higher. The Porters carried up the tents, sleeping bags, house tent, chairs, tables, food, cookware, etc. The guys going light with small packs jackets acting macho. Porters had it hard for a few bucks per day.

When rolex sponsor your hike & you forget yo hire sherpas to do the dirty job. Lame 😂

Not gonna lie, the climax was very unfulfilling. They basically failed…France man
