Incredible, Makalu, Broad Peak,and on a clear day Annapurna as well not forgetting the other 8000m giants near by but all lower than where they are standing.
interesting to see how high altitude effects climbers in different ways.
Certain Nepalese climbers appear more aclimatised than the climber who had to take a moments rest above the Hillary Step, but he made it.
Great video and if you have £28,000 spare you could experience this amazing panorama yourself.
Listen to the sound of the snow, when people walk on it. The way it kind of squeaks. I know that sound and it means that it must be at least 20 to 25 below 0. At night it would be intolerably cold!!!!!
well i climbed ben nevis when i was 10,that was cool and good enough for me,didn't need sherpas,just a few goats.and i will always remember that day with my dad
@weareamigos0303 Same, I think the challenge is rounding up 50,000+ $ and a couple of months to get acclimatized. I would love to climb everest, but ill stick to rock climbing and alpine climbing until I get a chance.
I wish I had the money to climb mount everest what a life dream! in fact, i wish i had enough money just to buy the damn down parka suit...i cant be the only poor dreamer
I wont be worry if I fall from a boat sails on the deepest trench in the world because I know, I may have a chance to float. But I'll be completely fucked if I fall from this step because I'll never have a chance to fly...
I climbed mount everest in shorts and a T-shirt without oxygen or an ice ax. I am bad ass and those guys are just plain pussies.
Also, I didn't bring food so I had to steal it from the tourists and when the going got rough, I had to cannibalize the flesh from the dead climbers that litter the mountainside.
i'd love to see you people who probably have never even stepped foot on base camp or in nepal or tibet try doing it ok dont crticize it is the hardest climb ever for me it was!
"OK, rich people....I need you to stand there patiently and wait for the rich person in front of you to finish climbing the Hillary Step before you proceed, m'kay?"
In terms of technical difficulty, neither the north or south route is particularly difficult. Put it at sea level, and thousands of people would climb it every year. The problem is that it's not a sea level, and at that altitude, everything becomes SO difficult.
Not to mention the climbers are clumsy with all that gear on while having oxygen deprivation and physical exhaustion.
I want to do this in 2014 [My 30th Birthday! Someone help me out as to how to go about it. I know you need about 125k, and a climbing team that generally requires 1 or 2 other climbs like Kilomanjaro and St... in Alaska. Let me know. Also I know Tibet was supposed to lower their permit. Let me know if that fell through. Any and all information will be appreciated! THANK YOU!
I always thought one would be able to see the curvature of the Earth so high up, as well as the sky above would be black like space even in day. Great panning though.
M y hats off to the people that made the summit and back down again!!!!!!! Even the people that just go to the base camp alone is a chalange it's self!!! I know if i my self made the basecamp i would b very happy!! You know the record for climbing the mountain is 16hrs 45 mints by a sherpa f@#k me
what hapens when you got to take a big dump???? I wonder if thers a place were tou can go or they were a diaper or have a zipper at the bak?? I don think id want to take a big crap in my pants 50 feet from the top!!!!!!!! You cant realy hang your ass over Nepal side when thers 40 people behind you!! I bet you thers a big pile of human crap up ther!!!!!!!!!!
@muroly72 Im pretty sure you will be able to tell if you need the toilet before you leave the final camp, and im sure your unlikely to need the toilet 50m from the top as youve tried to make sure youve went after your last meal before making your summit attempt, besides your comment was pointless and completley innapropriate :)
I don't get why some people on here are criticising the people climbing with the sherpas? Anyone who climbs mt. everest successfully has achieved an amazing feat and should be congratulated! However, some clearly prefer to sit at home and be criticical which just amazes me that anyone can do that.
@hexonatapeloop im not saying they shouldn't be congratulated but it's not embarrassing at all. They're brought up around this environment so they're obviously going to be more adapt.
@hexonatapeloop Even the most experienced sherpa has only summited about 20 times, and sherpas are most likely to die on the mountain. They all know it is extremely dangerous, and I doubt they think going through the death zone is easy.
The sherpas are amazing. No O2, no problem, not tired at all, not short of breath. During that time, the O2 sniffing tourist "climbers" are hanging to stay conscious!
That panning shot starting at 3:53 is fuckin' epic! It's hard to believe that something like that exists on our planet. Just the sheer beauty and splendor of it all. Only a select few ever get to see that view in their lifetimes. Much props to those that do. Wish I could be there.
Step makes it sound trivial, they should call it, "Hillary's 7/11" in that you fall 7,000 or 11,000 feet on either side before landing on sharp rocks and ice.
@kevinpur fair point kevin, sometimes climbing the second highest or a mountain close by can be just as breathtaking and might not be busy with people or rubbish.
That’s my point, I take nothing away from the pure spirit of the mountain and the people that test themselves on it. Could I do it? To be honest I don’t know? I think it is over run everyear with too many people and the gov should make strict laws that if you can hire Sherpas to bring your loads up then you should be expected to bring your trash and camps back down. Now I know their will be exceptions. Bad wether and such.
Instead the revenues falls into the hands of Hindu Aryan government who are corrupted and practices caste discrimination and neoptism in all government level. That's why Nepal is in failing state today. plz watch this video ==> "Sakela~the greatest festival of Kirat people"
and you discover the true spirits of the Himalayas.
My people(Kirat) are the Natives of the Himalayas and have been living in the Himalayas for past 10,000 years according to Neolithic tools found in the Kathmandu valley. During the Hindu Aryan Monarchy government my people were suppressed. Though Mt. Everest is located in Solukhambu region which is the heartland of Kirat, the revenues collected from the tourists and mountaineers were never utilized to make roads, hospitals and schools.
The native Kirat should banned people from climbing Mt. Everest. Kirat consider Chomolongma(Everest) as the abode of their ancestors and Kirateswor(lord of Kiratas - 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. Respect the mother nature. You people can never conquer Mt. Everest but because mother nature lets you because she loves you.
@chena3 its a fucking rock ok? it´s not like deers and other animals live there...there is only dead bodies scattered around and snow...so dont over react
Wow! rope or without rope. I called it, they done a good job. I dreamed to climb this mountain but for the amount of money they are asking for every climber. I dont think I could of do it. I might wait to go down the price :D I hope I am not old when it is cheap to climb there. LOL.
I think most people criticizing those who climb Everest are snobs who likely have never set foot on a mountain like that. Maybe it's not as technically demanding a peak as K2 or Gasherbrum IV but why should that demean what they HAVE been able to accomplish? It's a hell of a lot more than we're doing sitting on our ass on Youtube gulping lungfuls of air. Climbers go on mountains to push their physical limit, and that is exactly what these people are doing, whether their limit is Everest or K2
@pippacrawford the problem is, that they don't climb alpine style, but have fixe ropes set up for them, which they follow with jumars. Of course it's physically a huge challenge, but it just doesn't really correspond to the concept of mountaineering most people have. It's more like an adventure park. I happily salute anybody who climbs mount everest alpine style without fixed ropes set up by sherpas(I really salut the sherpas) but I can not really respect the way it is usually done
people who say anyone can climb everest if they have enough money is retarded. clearly they don't know the mountan and the training and mountaineering experience it takes to climb this beast. anyone with a little knowledge would know this.
@lbomb8 No, I am well aware of the training and skills it requires..im a climber too...it requires very little compared to many other peaks. that is why barely trained tourists can climb it. the ropes are fixed, there is almost NO technical climbing, the camps are set up for them. all they need to do is show up, have the cash, be willing to risk their lives, and have spent enough time on the stair climber. Now the guys that do the technical routes on everest...that is impressive.
Great video...it must be amazing to have a view from the top of the world. I love the complaints about the rich thrill seekers. Rich or not, you can still die up there.
Pointless, and polluting. Hillary was first, and most important. Then a few others who deserve recognition. Most of the rest are just selfish, rich thrill-seekers.
Most of the people that climb Everest are not real climbers. Most of them are not capable to climb "El Capitan" or "Eiger" or "Cervino". They are just tourists that does not know what to do if a fix rope is missing. In that case they are dead. It is not fair to use Oxygen in climbing.
@1johncain maybe to someone who doesnt climb. to most people who climb everest its about the challenge of getting to the top of the planet. its about seeing what youre made of. its obvious from your comments that you dont know a thing about climbing. go back to ping pong.
If too many people climb everest it gets clogged up with rubbish and corpses - this is no way to treat a profound place. Religion or beliefs aside, I think people should leave it alone if the only reason they're climbing it is for the prestige or some kind of self-aggrandising challenge. Maybe there should be a moratorium, because otherwise it won't be special to anyone.
@diliprai I forgot to tell you that you are not the owner of Mount Everest, but if you want to blame yourself with a lot of religious stuff well then you are welcome as long as you dont let it affect other people in a negative way.
Kirat tribe is one of the oldest group in the world. Kirat also find references in RigVeda ~the oldest text dating back some 2000BCE--1800BCE where Kiratas fought the Aryan(Caucasoid) people. It's only after the fall of Hindu government that natives Kirat have been coming into limelight.
plz respect my ancestors and Kirateswor sacred place. you can learn more about Kirat tribe here at this video --> "sakela~the greatest festival of kirat people"
I summited Everest in 2006. You may think the Sherpas do all the work, however they do not. Many of them do haul oxygen tanks up and down to the South Summit. The majority act as assistants to the guides.
The oxygen bottles, by the way, don't do much-- people still die of HAPE with gas. They simulate air at 26,000 feet, not sea level. You still climb with 1/3 the normal oxygen level. Not anyone can climb.
Hey, if the sherpas carry oxygen tanks who carries there tanks? Or do they not enter the death zone? How old re you and how did you get to climb everst if you don't mind me asking, Thanks.
I am 29 years old. Two or three non-expedition sherpas haul up and stock pile the oxygen tanks at Camp Four. Sherpas that are apart of expeditions carry their own oxygen tanks, and no one else's.
In 2000 I read the book "Into Thin Air". I am an Eagle Scout and had experience climbing. I took it up as a hobby, and climbed Mt. Ranier in 2002. Spent the summer of 2003 ice climbing in New Zealand. Started training in 2004. By then my expedition in 2006 was set. we made the summit on May 10 2006
When Hall & Fischer were charging "clients" up to $65K back in the early '90s, Apa & other Sherpas were getting paid just a few dollars a day. Apa & his countrymen have become the only climbers of note.
Anyways they are taken by the hand and they use oxigent bottles. The ones that do all the work are the sherpas. These guys just sit back and wait for someone to drag them up the mountain.
Dragged up? well if you take into consideration that it is very rare to see someone save anothers life to get back downhill, how the hell do you expect people to be dragged uphill when their live dosnt rely on it? ........Looks to me like you aint got a clue about mountaineering.
I was exaggerating. You know what I mean. What I mean is; they don't do much but climb the mountain. Ropes, food, lines everything is setup by the poor Sherpas (the real heroes) It's impossible for someone to be dragged up the mountain. Come on man.
What language is he speaking? By his name, it seems like he's a Nepalese.

Wow! rope or without rope. I called it, they done a good job. I dreamed to climb this mountain but for the amount of money they are asking for every climber. I dont think I could of do it. I might wait to go down the price :D I hope I am not old when it is cheap to climb there. LOL.

@beaskelly how much are they asking for? I have 3 friends who reached the summit they said they payed 10k apiece

I think most people criticizing those who climb Everest are snobs who likely have never set foot on a mountain like that. Maybe it's not as technically demanding a peak as K2 or Gasherbrum IV but why should that demean what they HAVE been able to accomplish? It's a hell of a lot more than we're doing sitting on our ass on Youtube gulping lungfuls of air. Climbers go on mountains to push their physical limit, and that is exactly what these people are doing, whether their limit is Everest or K2

@pippacrawford the problem is, that they don't climb alpine style, but have fixe ropes set up for them, which they follow with jumars. Of course it's physically a huge challenge, but it just doesn't really correspond to the concept of mountaineering most people have. It's more like an adventure park. I happily salute anybody who climbs mount everest alpine style without fixed ropes set up by sherpas(I really salut the sherpas) but I can not really respect the way it is usually done

people who say anyone can climb everest if they have enough money is retarded. clearly they don't know the mountan and the training and mountaineering experience it takes to climb this beast. anyone with a little knowledge would know this.
lbomb8 1 year ago
@lbomb8 No, I am well aware of the training and skills it requires..im a climber too...it requires very little compared to many other peaks. that is why barely trained tourists can climb it. the ropes are fixed, there is almost NO technical climbing, the camps are set up for them. all they need to do is show up, have the cash, be willing to risk their lives, and have spent enough time on the stair climber. Now the guys that do the technical routes on everest...that is impressive.

Pointless, and polluting. Hillary was first, and most important. Then a few others who deserve recognition. Most of the rest are just selfish, rich thrill-seekers.

Most of the people that climb Everest are not real climbers. Most of them are not capable to climb "El Capitan" or "Eiger" or "Cervino". They are just tourists that does not know what to do if a fix rope is missing. In that case they are dead. It is not fair to use Oxygen in climbing.

@1johncain maybe to someone who doesnt climb. to most people who climb everest its about the challenge of getting to the top of the planet. its about seeing what youre made of. its obvious from your comments that you dont know a thing about climbing. go back to ping pong.

If too many people climb everest it gets clogged up with rubbish and corpses - this is no way to treat a profound place. Religion or beliefs aside, I think people should leave it alone if the only reason they're climbing it is for the prestige or some kind of self-aggrandising challenge. Maybe there should be a moratorium, because otherwise it won't be special to anyone.

If i become a President of Nepal, i will banned people from climbing Mt. Everest.
I am a native of Nepal and Mt. Everest is consider by my Kirat tribe as the abode of my ancestors and Kirateswor(Lord of Kiratas).
Respect the Nature. It is not for you people to step on it.

Kirat tribe is one of the oldest group in the world. Kirat also find references in RigVeda ~the oldest text dating back some 2000BCE--1800BCE where Kiratas fought the Aryan(Caucasoid) people. It's only after the fall of Hindu government that natives Kirat have been coming into limelight.
plz respect my ancestors and Kirateswor sacred place. you can learn more about Kirat tribe here at this video --> "sakela~the greatest festival of kirat people"

I summited Everest in 2006. You may think the Sherpas do all the work, however they do not. Many of them do haul oxygen tanks up and down to the South Summit. The majority act as assistants to the guides.
The oxygen bottles, by the way, don't do much-- people still die of HAPE with gas. They simulate air at 26,000 feet, not sea level. You still climb with 1/3 the normal oxygen level. Not anyone can climb.
mdawwg123 2 years ago 2
Hey, if the sherpas carry oxygen tanks who carries there tanks? Or do they not enter the death zone? How old re you and how did you get to climb everst if you don't mind me asking, Thanks.

Some sherpas climb without supplemental oxygen. A guide really shouldn't since it weakens his/hers strength.

I am 29 years old. Two or three non-expedition sherpas haul up and stock pile the oxygen tanks at Camp Four. Sherpas that are apart of expeditions carry their own oxygen tanks, and no one else's.
In 2000 I read the book "Into Thin Air". I am an Eagle Scout and had experience climbing. I took it up as a hobby, and climbed Mt. Ranier in 2002. Spent the summer of 2003 ice climbing in New Zealand. Started training in 2004. By then my expedition in 2006 was set. we made the summit on May 10 2006

When Hall & Fischer were charging "clients" up to $65K back in the early '90s, Apa & other Sherpas were getting paid just a few dollars a day. Apa & his countrymen have become the only climbers of note.

Anyways they are taken by the hand and they use oxigent bottles. The ones that do all the work are the sherpas. These guys just sit back and wait for someone to drag them up the mountain.

Dragged up? well if you take into consideration that it is very rare to see someone save anothers life to get back downhill, how the hell do you expect people to be dragged uphill when their live dosnt rely on it? ........Looks to me like you aint got a clue about mountaineering.
Everestlad 1 year ago
I was exaggerating. You know what I mean. What I mean is; they don't do much but climb the mountain. Ropes, food, lines everything is setup by the poor Sherpas (the real heroes) It's impossible for someone to be dragged up the mountain. Come on man.
