Don't take any notice from the two spackers below they are as funny as chris evans and russel brand and they are dole scroungers too. If you need any advice about Everest ask the fat bitch next door she shagged the salesman and ended up buying a load of crap from St helens instead.
@laidapez Un tal Reinhold Messner sin ser nada euskaldun él, cuando casi nadie creia que subir sin O2 era posible ya lo hizo el primero junto a Peter Habeler, que tampoco era euskaldun. Lo repitió en solitario unos años después, subiendo totalmente solo por la cara norte y en invierno, sin porteadores ni sherpas de cima. ¿Qué estabais haciendo los bravos euskaldunes que dejasteis que se os adelantara el mindundi este del Messner en llevar a cabo estas proezas? A ver si hablamos con más humildad
I want to be the youngest person to ACTUALLY climb Everest. Not cheat it by using oxygen. I have been training my entire life for this. Jordan Romero actually wrote a book about how he "conquered" Everest. YOU DIDNT! It let you be dragged up its slopes and back down safely. No one has or will conquer Everest. It is a mountain of dreams and the only thing we conquer up there is ourselves.
@davidleealford I'm not usually one to piss back at people who make negative comments, but you should know that the second step ladder was installed by the first ascent party. So to say "once more" is a bit of an un-truth. Unless you've actually climbed the second step without using the ladder, that is...
@jamiepercy1001 Then study up on Reinhold Messner & Tim McCartney-Snape - both went free solo summit on Everest without bottled 02. Tim acclimatised by walking from The Sea of Bengal, thru India, to summit with no support, no ropes, no supp 02, no Shepra or crew and skied down. Bottled 02 brings the summit 'down' about 10%; to c.26k ft.
@jamiepercy1001 it's shameful that you say people cheated by using oxygen. that's not cheating, that's being smart and realistic. doing it without oxygen doesn't make you sound better, it makes you sound like a complete idiot because you'd only just kill yourself.
@jamiepercy1001 In fact, my life's ambition is to climb K2, but I don't care about being the 'youngest'. It doesn't prove anything to anyone. Although I am the youngest Welsh person to summit Kilimanjaro, mainly because not alot of young people have summited it.
@jamiepercy1001 For the most part, I agree with you. You do not conquer this mountain, it conquers you.
However, I do not believe that bottled oxygen is cheating- if I ever climb Everest, I would use bottled Oxygen, because I owe it to my family to get back down in one piece. I have tremendous respect for those who do it without, but I could never do it without bottled oxygen.
He did fine, there is a difference between ambition and stupidity, to attempt without oxygen is ridiculous, training might decrease resting heart, oxygen efficiency / use ect.... BUT
If your body itself is unable to inhale sufficient oxygen because of high altitude low pressure then you will die or go ill regardless of how much training you do. You cant expect to train and then make your body run on a tiny fraction of the oxygen it gets at ground and still be normal.
@jamiepercy1001 A thirteen-year-old has already summited Everest (with oxygen), by any standards, that's impressive. Whether climbers use oxygen or not is personal choice: getting to the summit is one thing, getting down safely is another. With that in mind I would stick to oxygen.
@jamiepercy1001 Go do it! No-one is stopping you! I wasa actually working as a guide and videographer, and almost unanimously, guides will tell you that climbing with Oxygen is the only way they can responsibly be able to help their clients in time of need. I know dozens of people who have summitted w/Oxygen, and they all came home with all their fingers and toes. I know 3 who climbed w/o Oxygen; 1 died trying, and both of the others had at least one digit amputated.
Unbelievable! You can actually see the curvature of the Earth in those views. I would love to do something like that. Reading about others is nothing because it is easy to imagine what it would be like to walk the "relatively easy" Western Cwm to Lhotse Face, but could never physically feel what a challenge it really is. I have great respect for climbers who summit this mountain.
i want to climb everest. it would be sweet to be the youngest person but i have to wait till i graduate colllege because my parents wouldn't let me. I have to climb everest because i'm afraid of heights so the only possible way for me to cure that fear is to stand on the highest place on earth
@marcusbondi, that's frickin awesome. what peaks have you bagged? i know it's not much height wise and it only goes at 5.6, but my buddy and i will be doing the grand teton pretty soon. i'm excited. when you say free solo, do you mean free or free solo (sans rope)?
If you use bottled oxygen it reduces the 'summit' to c.26k ft. IMHO, to 'conquer' any mountain, it must be done free-solo, unsupported and without supplemental o2. Train hard.
@possum2082 hi Poss- yes, I only ever free solo - with no supp oxygen or external 'support'. I have climbed grades higher than anything on Everest - Tim McCartnety-Snape's free solo no supp-ox ascent of Everest is teh most amazing Everest feat ever. Best regards - train hard.
IFew hundred people died there.....some trying to be first from their country, some were trying to go without oxygen tanks everyone tried to prove something but only thing they proved is that that mountain is very deadly .....so if you want to be the first or the youngest from your country think first..cause it may just happen so that you'll be just another name in a long list of people that died there....
@Vetal83 It doesn't matter how old you are, thinking first isn't really necessary, anyone has a risk of death climbing Everest- the more so when they are less fit, are less equipped, have less training, are less tough and especially when they make poor decisions. The deaths on Everest are in the 200's, and many people proved the mountain is deadly indeed. But over 5000 people have proved themselves as being one of the few lucky people to stand on top of the world.
@FishinGuitarMad so what do you get from being on top of the world?You not the first and not the last!!it's not worth risking your life for such a small goal,i wonder if the families of those who died there think is that they loved ones are so lucky that they were on top of the world but never made it back!
@Vetal83 I have spoken to two Everest summiteers, and met one. One of them has the British record for the most summits- 8. (Kenton Cool). These guys are fantastic, and both have told me being on the top was 'EPIC!!!!' and 'totally awesome!'- and probably the best moment of their lives. You don't realise what a HUGE goal it is for some, it depends on how much you value your life. Yes there's a lot of risk, but if you have a dream you will do whatever it takes to acheive it. It's living the dream.
@FishinGuitarMad Yeah right the best moment of their lives???Come on man,,,,,,a dude who lived in the Soviet Union told me .....it was the best moment of his life to go to Depeche Mode concert(believe it or not)even a birth of his child wasnt so important!!!I believe that it was EPIC for those guys but........but was it better than a birth of your child or was it a best moment of their life ?????Come on man.....you can have every moment for yourself if you cherish it(just like you said)
How much time do you have to spend in the summit, do you have to picnic there or just go and stay just like 10 minutes and come down or place your flag there?
Ohhh man climbing the summit of everest is my dream, I'm just 16 & I want to be the 1st Afghan and the youngest to climb Mt.Everest, too bad that I'm not a mountaineer but I really wanna be, the problem is that in Afghanistan the security is 0% for me I wish that my dreams come true & there are lots of dangerous Mt in Afghanistan just like Mt.Sulaiman, Mt.Baba, the White Mt & more around here like Hindukush & ... & I'v seen Mt.Sulaiman & the White Mt from just like 5KM.
how can people say its selfish to climb everest? i say good on the people who are brave enough and who are physically cable of doing this awesome adventure. if you dont like people who make the most of their lives then dont watch these videos. great footage by the way and cheers for posting.
people climb Everest for sport, the feel of achievement of doing it and other reasons and not all climb for the same reason. It is only a selfish pursuit if people perceive it that way and let it bother them. If people think it is a selfish pursuit, that means they give a shit about the people who do climb. People endanger themselves in many other ways, so aren't they considered selfish pursuits. I would say just as selfish as climbing a high summit.
@sweetfly66 fare enough. I think people put their lives on the line for different self endeavors, besides climbing an Everest. We both have strong opinions about the subject. Good evening!
@sweetfly66 why? Then that would mean anyone's pursuit of anything else is selfish because he or she are doing it for them selves....or are they?...I would say it is an adventurist pursuit alone or additionally.
@2arunout ... That logic ignores the dangers and time consuming aspects inherant only to extreme climbing . For example , if I want to pursue a black belt in karate I go to the dojo three times a week for an hour and a half . Contrast this with someone who wants to climb Everest or K2 ... first , there is a decent risk of death .. an even higher risk of coming back without fingers or toes .. and the time it takes to pursue these endeveours is ridiculous ....selfish pursuit
@sweetfly66 So you think climbing Everest or k2 only done out of selfishness? What about the sense for adventure. I know it is rare in today's society, but people are adventurist. Then climbing is also a sport. And not all climb for the same reason. And most climbers do train before climbing Everest and most of them have years of expereince, and the same goes for any climbing endeavor. People are selfish when they drive. Human beings are selfish, as their chosen pursuit in life effects others
@2arunout ... when you get to the top of the mountain who benefits ? Certainly you cant tell me that people climb for the benefit of others . No , people climb because for themselves . It is an inherantly selfish pursuit . And when its done at the extreme level it becomes even more selfish . How does the climbers family feel when you are away for months at a time risking your life and spending a small fortune ? Worse is that there is no benefit to the risk and financial investment .
@sweetfly66 And when you earn that black-belt who benefits? You that chose to pursue the path to earn it. And family would may proud of such an accomplishment as one's family may be proud of a loved one for climbing mount Everest. To say everyone climbs a mount Everest all for the same reason would be naive. For some it is a sport. Some climbers climb in teams. And so the sense of accomplishment achieved is similar to that of one who pursues and A in a course and succeeds.
@sweetfly66 I benefit from people climbing Mt. everest. It keeps my dreams alive, and without dreams life is not worth living. When someone helps other people they do it to feel good about themselves so basically it's a selfish act too. I try not to judge other peoples way of living and so should you.
@Lasse555 ... I understand your point that extreme climbers can be an inspiration to others but for everyone one person inspired there are ten family members worrying half the year that their father , son , brother , mother , daughter will not come home from K2 or Mt. Everest . And at the end of the day , what has been accomplished by reaching the summit ? How has it benefited anyone besides the climber . Its not like space where they do medical experiments .
@sweetfly66 I have thought long and hard about this issue. Perhaps mountaineering is like crack to them. They're addicted to the thrill, the freedom and the fear. Just like an alcoholic family member, there's nothing we can do to stop them. When they make it to the top, it's huge. When they don't come back down, it's horrible. But, just like astronauts, they know they might not come down alive. It's the adventurer spirit in them that can't be broken till they just get tired of it.
@cowbellpeaceprize .... Addictions are inherantly selfish . At their worst they are physical in nature but most addictions are emotional and very selfish .
I just finished watching the series Beyond Everest . Absolutely breathtaking film footage and a no holds barred look into how dangerous extreme climbing is , and how SELFISH these climbers can be . They get to the top and turn around ... yippeee ... hi mom , hi dad , i lost my hands on Everest but i made it , thanks for the 40k it took
@sweetfly66 - they do medical experiments on everest. but even still, we get one life. as soon as our hearts stop and our brain shuts down then its game over. we might as well do something special otherwise its just a life of get up, go to wrok, come home, sleep.
And if you are one of the unlucky ones, then what an arena in which to breath your last in.
I climb that Mt. Peak when I was about 7 years old, in the early sixty's . There is some place where one who reaches the top signs his name for the records. I forgot where is the book how do I find my old climbing team?
how much pack gear should you try to carry along with other stuff. Like when you go to bed on Everest what layers do you wear or take off since your so high. This will be my last climb on my Senior year.
absolutely totally amazingly awesome! great filming, great music, great spirit. i'd like to do it but realistically i've got goals more suited to my talents, although good on the people that survive doing this. btw what's the song called?
Most people in the modern first world have been higher than Everest (airplanes) and it's pretty cool. I see no point in risking death to climb a pile of earth. ^_^
The native Kirat should banned people from climbing Mt. Everest. Kirat consider Chomolongma(Everest) as the abode of their ancestors and Kirateswor (Paruhang & Sumnima). Mountaineers have destroy the eco-system around the Everest region. The fees collected by the Nepal government has not seen the development of Everest region either. The money goes into the politician pocket instead.
Respect the Nature. It is not for you people to step on it. You people can never conquer Mt. Everest.
I hope to climb Mt Everest by the time i'm 20. I will be climbing Mt Aconcagua this year, hopefully after that Mt McKinley, with a Kilimanjaro/Mt Kenya combo after that. I hope that i can get a sponsor, but if i can somehow get the money, i could be the youngest Canadian to climb everest. that's my dream.
All the best. I am a mountaineer too... and from India. Have climbed some peaks in Himalayas... I guess Mount everest would be easier than Mt Aconcagua... Wish you best of luck.
@HashbrownCompany I urge you to climb McKinley first. To get to Everest is a p[rogression & you will need the experience you get on Denali high up on the slopes of Everest.
But to people who go there, and have the money to do it, dont forget to be gratefull to the sherpas, native porters, who have helped thousands of people in last decades. Be friendly to Sherpa men who are kind and helpfull, responsible for the success of so many expeditions.
To people who want to be climbers:Average people can start climbing rock or trekking, is not very expensive. To go further into alpinism or himalayism you better be wealthy. Is very sad but low money people like me or a lot of others dreaming of being professional mountaineer, better forget about it. Unless you are a biologist, engineer, economist, doctor,etc you will never be a at Himalaya.If you work as a driver, or a worker in cleaning, suprmarket etc you better forget about it, sadly..
Well you're certainly never going to go making 35k a year. But you don't have to be a multimillionaire to summit Everest, though it certainly does help!
I might not summit Everest, but I'll certainly see the Himalaya's from a high (read: summit of a mountain) vantage point one day.
Depends.. from arriving at basecamp to finishing the climb, usually 6-8 weeks. Because many trips up and down the mountain are required to acclimatize and also to haul gear.
crampons, picks, etc vary depend on brand and quality. Goretex is pretty damn expensive, but most people only go with the gloves. For O's, camp 3 to summit is usually 1 or 2
Yes, you can make it down - in a coma. If you breathe bottle oz all the way up, you can't make it down on your own without it - no matter how much acclimatized. The body can't take the sudden lack of oz, especially if you already used bottles to get to C4.
Por el contrario, en otro video que he visto aqui, la cima del monte mas alto de america (Aconcagua), està carente de nieve, por que? Se ven que ambas cumbres del mundo estàn cubiertos de nieve, pero la cumbre de este , en el momento en que vi el video, estaba seca y rocosa.
Magnifico video. Imprescindible para cualquier usuario como yo, que admira tanto esta increible cumbre. La verdad es que el Monte Everest es una verdadera exageracion. Las colisiones de los continentes crearon esta increible cumbre, pero lo que mas me impresiona es el hecho de que aun hay nieve en la cumbre, ( o sea que aunque no hay oxigeno), sigue estando dentro de la atmosfera. El volcan de Marte es 3 veces mas alto y alli ya no creo que la cima tenga rastro de agua.

How much time do you have to spend in the summit, do you have to picnic there or just go and stay just like 10 minutes and come down or place your flag there?

Ohhh man climbing the summit of everest is my dream, I'm just 16 & I want to be the 1st Afghan and the youngest to climb Mt.Everest, too bad that I'm not a mountaineer but I really wanna be, the problem is that in Afghanistan the security is 0% for me I wish that my dreams come true & there are lots of dangerous Mt in Afghanistan just like Mt.Sulaiman, Mt.Baba, the White Mt & more around here like Hindukush & ... & I'v seen Mt.Sulaiman & the White Mt from just like 5KM.
Give me some tips please.

how can people say its selfish to climb everest? i say good on the people who are brave enough and who are physically cable of doing this awesome adventure. if you dont like people who make the most of their lives then dont watch these videos. great footage by the way and cheers for posting.

people climb Everest for sport, the feel of achievement of doing it and other reasons and not all climb for the same reason. It is only a selfish pursuit if people perceive it that way and let it bother them. If people think it is a selfish pursuit, that means they give a shit about the people who do climb. People endanger themselves in many other ways, so aren't they considered selfish pursuits. I would say just as selfish as climbing a high summit.

extreme climbing is a very selfish pursuit
sweetfly66 1 year ago
@sweetfly66 why? Then that would mean anyone's pursuit of anything else is selfish because he or she are doing it for them selves....or are they?...I would say it is an adventurist pursuit alone or additionally.
2arunout 1 year ago
@2arunout ... That logic ignores the dangers and time consuming aspects inherant only to extreme climbing . For example , if I want to pursue a black belt in karate I go to the dojo three times a week for an hour and a half . Contrast this with someone who wants to climb Everest or K2 ... first , there is a decent risk of death .. an even higher risk of coming back without fingers or toes .. and the time it takes to pursue these endeveours is ridiculous ....selfish pursuit
sweetfly66 1 year ago
@sweetfly66 So you think climbing Everest or k2 only done out of selfishness? What about the sense for adventure. I know it is rare in today's society, but people are adventurist. Then climbing is also a sport. And not all climb for the same reason. And most climbers do train before climbing Everest and most of them have years of expereince, and the same goes for any climbing endeavor. People are selfish when they drive. Human beings are selfish, as their chosen pursuit in life effects others
2arunout 1 year ago
@2arunout ... when you get to the top of the mountain who benefits ? Certainly you cant tell me that people climb for the benefit of others . No , people climb because for themselves . It is an inherantly selfish pursuit . And when its done at the extreme level it becomes even more selfish . How does the climbers family feel when you are away for months at a time risking your life and spending a small fortune ? Worse is that there is no benefit to the risk and financial investment .
sweetfly66 1 year ago
@sweetfly66 And when you earn that black-belt who benefits? You that chose to pursue the path to earn it. And family would may proud of such an accomplishment as one's family may be proud of a loved one for climbing mount Everest. To say everyone climbs a mount Everest all for the same reason would be naive. For some it is a sport. Some climbers climb in teams. And so the sense of accomplishment achieved is similar to that of one who pursues and A in a course and succeeds.
2arunout 1 year ago
@sweetfly66 I benefit from people climbing Mt. everest. It keeps my dreams alive, and without dreams life is not worth living. When someone helps other people they do it to feel good about themselves so basically it's a selfish act too. I try not to judge other peoples way of living and so should you.
Lasse555 1 year ago
@Lasse555 ... I understand your point that extreme climbers can be an inspiration to others but for everyone one person inspired there are ten family members worrying half the year that their father , son , brother , mother , daughter will not come home from K2 or Mt. Everest . And at the end of the day , what has been accomplished by reaching the summit ? How has it benefited anyone besides the climber . Its not like space where they do medical experiments .
sweetfly66 1 year ago
@sweetfly66 I have thought long and hard about this issue. Perhaps mountaineering is like crack to them. They're addicted to the thrill, the freedom and the fear. Just like an alcoholic family member, there's nothing we can do to stop them. When they make it to the top, it's huge. When they don't come back down, it's horrible. But, just like astronauts, they know they might not come down alive. It's the adventurer spirit in them that can't be broken till they just get tired of it.
cowbellpeaceprize 1 year ago
@cowbellpeaceprize .... Addictions are inherantly selfish . At their worst they are physical in nature but most addictions are emotional and very selfish .
I just finished watching the series Beyond Everest . Absolutely breathtaking film footage and a no holds barred look into how dangerous extreme climbing is , and how SELFISH these climbers can be . They get to the top and turn around ... yippeee ... hi mom , hi dad , i lost my hands on Everest but i made it , thanks for the 40k it took
sweetfly66 1 year ago
@sweetfly66 - they do medical experiments on everest. but even still, we get one life. as soon as our hearts stop and our brain shuts down then its game over. we might as well do something special otherwise its just a life of get up, go to wrok, come home, sleep.
And if you are one of the unlucky ones, then what an arena in which to breath your last in.

This has been flagged as spam show
The native Kirat should banned people from climbing Mt. Everest. Kirat consider Chomolongma(Everest) as the abode of their ancestors and Kirateswor (Paruhang & Sumnima). Mountaineers have destroy the eco-system around the Everest region. The fees collected by the Nepal government has not seen the development of Everest region either. The money goes into the politician pocket instead.
Respect the Nature. It is not for you people to step on it. You people can never conquer Mt. Everest.

I hope to climb Mt Everest by the time i'm 20. I will be climbing Mt Aconcagua this year, hopefully after that Mt McKinley, with a Kilimanjaro/Mt Kenya combo after that. I hope that i can get a sponsor, but if i can somehow get the money, i could be the youngest Canadian to climb everest. that's my dream.

But to people who go there, and have the money to do it, dont forget to be gratefull to the sherpas, native porters, who have helped thousands of people in last decades. Be friendly to Sherpa men who are kind and helpfull, responsible for the success of so many expeditions.
lvsitiwdr 2 years ago
To people who want to be climbers:Average people can start climbing rock or trekking, is not very expensive. To go further into alpinism or himalayism you better be wealthy. Is very sad but low money people like me or a lot of others dreaming of being professional mountaineer, better forget about it. Unless you are a biologist, engineer, economist, doctor,etc you will never be a at Himalaya.If you work as a driver, or a worker in cleaning, suprmarket etc you better forget about it, sadly..
lvsitiwdr 2 years ago
Well you're certainly never going to go making 35k a year. But you don't have to be a multimillionaire to summit Everest, though it certainly does help!
I might not summit Everest, but I'll certainly see the Himalaya's from a high (read: summit of a mountain) vantage point one day.

mikeblaze2e 2 years ago
how many days does somebody need to climb the everest, and how many days to go back to the base?
strumfoHELLen 2 years ago
Depends.. from arriving at basecamp to finishing the climb, usually 6-8 weeks. Because many trips up and down the mountain are required to acclimatize and also to haul gear.
John19182004 2 years ago
how much does it cost all the equipment you need for the climbing?
and how many oxygent "botles" do you need to carry?
strumfoHELLen 2 years ago
crampons, picks, etc vary depend on brand and quality. Goretex is pretty damn expensive, but most people only go with the gloves. For O's, camp 3 to summit is usually 1 or 2

Running out of oxygen on the summit = certain death
Fr4nkWh1te 2 years ago
All who climb Everest have acclimatized so if they did run out of oxygen due to a unforeseen delay to the summit one can make it without o´s.
trex250 2 years ago
Yes, you can make it down - in a coma. If you breathe bottle oz all the way up, you can't make it down on your own without it - no matter how much acclimatized. The body can't take the sudden lack of oz, especially if you already used bottles to get to C4.

Por el contrario, en otro video que he visto aqui, la cima del monte mas alto de america (Aconcagua), està carente de nieve, por que? Se ven que ambas cumbres del mundo estàn cubiertos de nieve, pero la cumbre de este , en el momento en que vi el video, estaba seca y rocosa.
Nimenicamine01 2 years ago
Magnifico video. Imprescindible para cualquier usuario como yo, que admira tanto esta increible cumbre. La verdad es que el Monte Everest es una verdadera exageracion. Las colisiones de los continentes crearon esta increible cumbre, pero lo que mas me impresiona es el hecho de que aun hay nieve en la cumbre, ( o sea que aunque no hay oxigeno), sigue estando dentro de la atmosfera. El volcan de Marte es 3 veces mas alto y alli ya no creo que la cima tenga rastro de agua.
