Not at all to take away from these folks' great achievement, but it makes you appreciate Sir Ed and the others who made the summit decades ago without the modern gear we have now.
@@Bill-ou7zp Why is it they do this? Are the rich forcing them? Or is their government failing them? Either way you look at it i don't think the sherpas are heros, they are people put into a very shitty situation by their shitty government why would someone be considered a hero for helping the rich do something relatively dumb and dangerous.
@@joecobb5520 It is pretty common for mt, everest climbers to treat sherpas like shit. They spit on sherpas, they make them stay awake all night for no reason. It is very weird behaviour but understandable if you look at the history.
I think somebody will open a nightclub - fakk, there's enough people up there it could work - look at the line! The Nightclub At The End ofThe Universe! We'll call it Norgay's Delite!
I have goosebumps watching this. Before my cancer, this was a goal for my very in-shape self. My body will never achieve this now but I see it through your work and determination and for that I'm so thankful.
If that’s really your goal, you should exhaust every last option to try and do it… however, I really don’t understand your situation, and you might be correct in your conclusion.
Wishing you all the best in your recovery! I'm a non-climber but a biologist, and hearing people's stories of battling and beating cancer is to me more awe-inspiring than climbing any mountain. You'll achieve all sorts of great things with the willpower that pushes you through your battle!
I'm interested in a class 2 hike in snow in Colorado to summit 1 of the 14ers, but that's as crazy as I'm willing to get. Could do it myself for maybe a $1,000 or less in gear.
11 people died may 2019 on Mount Everest.. 4 people died there on the 23rd. The same day this video was taken. 9 of them died between 22nd and 27th. Makes you think doesnt it?
@@Mucky_Muck i dont know how many attempted but yeah the deathrate isn't high compared to how many who survives. I know lol, i said 9 people died between 22-29. The 2 others died earlier that month
For everyone wanting to go there here are how much it costs. "The price range for a standard supported climb ranges from $28,000 to $85,000. A fully custom climb will run over $115,000 and those extreme risk-takers can skimp by for well under $20,000. Typically, this includes transportation from Kathmandu or Lhasa, food, base camp tents, Sherpa support, and supplemental oxygen."
@@casuallycrude it's a rich man's hobby. The only people who actually take on the most risk are the sherpas, who each season risk their lives plotting out a new path in the snow and help lead climbers to the summit.
@@matteo89ify Transportation to the mountain by airplane or helicopter on the south side. You cannot drive up the Khumbu. You can walk, but it would take you a few weeks from the last road. Oh and you need to pay people to carry your food and fuel and everything else you need for a 6 week expedition and 3 weeks walking in and out. Think about that. The man power it takes just to get a bag of rice from the store in KTM to Everest basecamp. And then the sherpa to carry it up the mountain. By the time a bottle of O2 gets used on summit day costs a lot more than its puchase price. It is purchased for say $100. Then you have to pay someone to package the O2 and take it to the airport. That's baggage that needs to be paid for. Someone then needs to pick it up at the airport and transfer it by foot or yak for a week to get to base camp. one is paying for a chef and kitchen staff. Climbing Sherpa to help carry loads or food gear and oxygen up the mountain and build camps. Then at the end, all of that stuff, including the trash needs to be carried out and "disposed of". Anyhow, thats the basics of why it costs so much.
That comes across so unbelievably beautiful, calm and relaxed - no one would think about the life- threatening conditions and the deadly risks you take up there ...nevertheless: magnificent!!!
nah im terrified. i know what places like that are like. once you go to a place like that you learn fast. none of it looks calm and relaxed to me brother
@@Elvathar oh hell yeah.. my longest hike was 11 hours in hot weather..i cant imagine days in freezing cold plus all the money one pays to do it is out of my pay range by far. Just sucks when you get to the top all the trash and other people that are everywhere.
@@Elvathar see, we are on this thing called the internet..and i was making a joke. jesus christ have people gotten damn dumb recently. dont breed please.
@@Shonade_Malik karman line is 100 km. And while yes, they're not "almost in space" in terms of altitude, they are above much of the mass of the atmosphere.
This is becoming a joke. Even the tallest mountain isn't safe from us humans. Just look at how crowded it is. You'd think at least at the top of the tallest mountain I'd find inner peace and solitude but no.
It's crazy that they're all inches from an endless fall of death but they're all so happy to be up there. What an incredible view. I would never do this, but to them it's a thrill and adventure. Crazy how people are so different.
Also, now that this footage has been taken, you don’t have to be climbing Mt. Everest and contributing to an immense garbage problem and the fact that human corpses are literally strewn across the mountain ascent paths.
@@alexarmani9209 actually it sort of is in a way. Its covered by snow and the snow is pretty flat and surprisingly stable from what I've heard. So because of that they have a few meters width do to the sheer amount on snow on the top. Also fun fact in 10 mil years everest will be about 10km higher than it is now
The summit is 8,849m. Doesn't seem that bad but you need roughly 3 month to climb the peak and make a descent! As you get closer to the peak at about 8,400m there is less Oxygen so you need additional botles of Oxygen supplies. You can successfuly climb the peak without it, that's even harder! You must be in extremly good shape and experienced climber to even think about climbing the Everest. Even amongst the most experienced climbers the death rate is HIGH is 14%.
You know you're at an incredibly high altitude when you can see the curvature of the Earth. Edit: For those of you who respond with "it's a fish-eye lense," it's incredible that I have to explain that I never once mentioned this photo. I simply made a factual statement.
Absolutely beautiful seeing our world at such a raw and uncut view not seen in the movies. That moment must have been so surreal, you are truly very lucky to see that.
Is it worth your life to see such a view in person? Hell no. That ugly ass view can go fuck itself if that’s what it costs. People just get so bored of life they do shit like that. Must be an internal problem to drive yourself that crazy but act like youre completely sane.
Making it safe compared to some of the other tallest himalayans. K2 has a 20% fatality to summit ratio. Annapurna has 32%. Makes you wonder why people even try.
@@robertkingston6164 Annapurna does not have 32% what are you smoking? I did the entire thing with zero training after spending a year in university eating pizza and drinking.
@C'dam A'ruz At summit, there is very less space so not too many people can not stay there. Also due to oxygen level, you require more oxygen at this level. If you are in queue to reach summit then you will spend more oxygen. We have seen many cases where climbers died due to oxygen cylinders unavailability.
Yes indeed ,, as you say " beautiful weather and views " they did a good job of documenting it didn't they ? ,, Too bad they didn't show us the tons of garbage and the disgusting tons of human excrement that is contaminating the drinking water in the villages below. Also quite surprising while showing us the beautiful views what ? ,, no corpses ? there's plenty of those up there also.
At this atmospheric pressure an unacclimatized person would expect 1-3 minutes of "useful consciousness". After that they'd become "drunk", fall asleep and never wake up again. Of course the sherpa has his mask off like he's at a family barbecue.
Even Sherpas would do that if they didn't acclimatize. If you would go from sea level to Mt Everest in a couple of days or maybe a week, even as a nepalese with their genetic trait, you would experience the same thing. Climbing Mt Everest is a 2 month long endeavour because you need to acclimatize to the height
@@pontius4915 Precisely why there are camps at different levels ... You don't get to the first camp from sea level. You START at first camp which is already higher than most other mountains. Sherpas are better acclimatized. They are born and live in Nepal at high altitude. My comment was to say that EVERYBODY is already acclimatized by going through these camps. There are no unnaclimatized persons as if they had just landed stright in from LAX in USA, so the comment about a normal person passing out or falling asleep never to wake up is useless. We all know what happens when an airplane depressurizes - Oxygen masks fall down. etc etc. Its like saying that a normal person would be crushed by Mike Tyson in the first round. Of course they would, but a "normal person" waits until he is a trained person before picking a fight with MT. Hmmmmmmm.
You made it to the highest point on earth while I'm standing at sea level in Florida. Not much accomplishment here. Life-changing up there. Thanks for sharing such an awesome sight!
+steven shawzy Let's go together to the Summit of Everest. How amazing would it be that two random people in a comment section team up and undertake this amazing expedition. Let me know if you are interested.
you're closer when with your eyes closed and mind still. no need to go climb any mountain other than your own self. Its about what you dont know that you dont know. yes earth is beautiful god is awesome.
The filming makes me almost feel like I'm there, totally amazing seeing the other mountains and earth's curvature so clearly. I thought the summit was a lot larger than it appears here! Thanks again for sharing, have subscribed.
@@alisharoland3324 right? You could see this is a normal camera, no curvature created by the camera at all. And i posted it to a flat-earth group and they still said it’s because of fish-eye lenses lol
@@alisharoland3324 Actually it is due to the camera lens. You can't see the curvature of the earth from the summit of Everest. You need to be at about 35,000 ft to start to get a hint of it.
@@alisharoland3324 Well, this *is* a wide angle lens. You need to be a lot higher to be able to see the horizon be such a highly curved arc on normal lens.
You cannot see the curvature from this high up, you just can't. I'm not saying its flat. I'm literally saying you cannot see the curve from this high up.
@@cutler_beckett Bruh, compare the horizon at 0:24 to the horizon at 0:46. The further straight or straightish lines are from the center of the field of view, the more curved they are. That's how wide angle lens work. Even in an airplane at 35,000ft, the Earth's curvature is *barely* discernable. So yeah, the extreme curve that you see in this video is pretty much just the camera.
I am glad you created these videos of Everest. Your content is the best i've seen, making me feel like I am there, which would never happen. I just stumbled on your channel. You could literally make a full length show out of your stelar content.
Thank you so much for sharing. What a great experience and glad you made it to summit. The queues are insane especially being in the death zone. God bless and thanks again
@@rinnin sadly socialism and communism have led to mass killings in every country that had those governments. Individualism is personal responsibility.
@@georgedumbrava2435 I asked the copilot ai which said that mt everest is not quite high enough to see the curve of the earth. It said you have to be at least 35000 feet to see the curve of the earth.
Thank god for people like this that inspire us all! So easy to get scared but you just gotta do it sometimes, man!! What an incredible thing to accomplish, climbing the tallest peak above water aka...the tallest mountain! Love from california.
Omg where in Hawaii do you live? Have you been to the mountain on the big island? I never got to go there and it makes me sad. although its not higher than everest from sealevel, its bigger than everest from the base which is amazing.
