Hey everyone, wanted to get one more video posted before we go up for out summit push, but the upload failed and now its too late 😂
Will see you guys in 8 days or so with the final uploads
Safe Travels!!!
You got this! And even if you don't summit, you STILL succeeded. This has been awesome to watch. GO GET IT RYAN. ❤❤❤❤❤
Best of luck man! Be safe and have fun! ♥
u hope lmaooo
Godspeed on your summit push!
Seeing the Khumbu Icefall so up close and personal just makes me think how incredible the Icefall Doctors are. I cant even imagine trying to find a route through that the first time. Always enjoy watching your progress. Hope you had some good recovery time.
Changes every day month year also
As mush as I have watched, read and researched Everest, this is by far the best footage to truly understand the dynamics and beauty of this natural wonder. I’m so impressed
Thanks for posting these, those of who can’t be there appreciate it.
You did it! Congrats! I was praying and am so glad to see you all made it up and back down to Camp 4 safely. You must feel like a million bucks. Thanks for taking us all along.
Glad to see your new video young man! Praying for your safety to the top and back down!
WOW! No video, professional or amateur, has shown the Everest climb like you have. I am looking forward to the summit push and your safe return back home.
This is both breathtakingly beautiful and beyond terrifying! Thank you for sharing your incredible journey!
Totally agree keep safe all
LATEST UPDATE!!!
Hello, friends of Madison Mountaineering! Courtenay here with a very exciting post-summit dispatch. As you probably heard from Garrett yesterday, all of our climbers and our amazing Sherpa team summited Everest (8848m/29,032ft) at 8:00 AM on Thursday, May 23rd - a day none of us will soon forget!
After basking in the warmth of our accomplishments and our -40 degree sleeping bags in Camp 4 (7900m/25,919ft) on Thursday night, it was time to head down the mountain. As my childhood idol and friend of Madison Mountaineering Ed Viesturs famously says, “Getting to the top is optional, getting down is mandatory.” Well, we have used his directive and have made it safely down to Camp 2 (6500m/21,325ft) losing over 4,000 feet of elevation in just a few hours.
I’m currently dispatching from the comfort of our heated Camp 2 dining tent - a luxury after four days of freeze-dried meals up high on the mountain! We are all certainly eager to be reunited with our base camp (5364m/17,598ft) friends and the amenities tomorrow. Thank you for following along with our many expeditions this season. We’ve got just one more dispatch to go!
Thank you for this information! Way to go, Ryan, and the rest of your team!!
I think you have a lot of grandmotherly love on here. Love your videos scenery is amazing
Way to go, Ryan!! We knew that you could do it!!
And a huge THANK YOU to Garrett Madison, his fantastic Sherpa guides, and all of the other staff members of Madison Mountaineering for helping Ryan, Courtenay, Hannah and Tyler achieve their goal of climbing Mount Everest! You all are the BEST!!!
Omg they are starting summit push in 2 hours from now....expected summit time 8 -10 hours from now fingers crossed godspeed Ryan. Time now is 12:15pm EST -10 PM Nepal time also if you are into watchi g the lights go up the mountain webcam nepal has a live view from hotel everest (panoramic mountainview) we can watch them climb.
So he should have summitted now if everything went according to plan?
@@teijaflink2226 they alll succesfully summited and are back at camp 4 now. There was a dispatch on Madison mountaineering website
CONGRATULATIONS!! OMG! I’ve been checking on you from the Madison Mountaineering site. So relieved, so happy. Never been invested in anyone’s climb before! GOAT 💕🐿
I finally understand the Khumbu Ice Fall! Thanks for documenting and such detailed explanation! Best of luck…we are all rooting for you!
Same here. Thought you walk over it not in it
Love the realism in your videos! No annoying background music, just the real world. Keep it up 👍
It feels almost like you're there too, very thankful to be able to experience Everest like this.
I've just checked the Madison Mountaineering website (Ryan is climbing Everest with them) and the team have spent a second day resting at Camp 2 which is a change to the plan. The reason for this is they have put their summit attempt back by a day due to a change in the weather forecast. An extra day at Camp 2 will help them with acclimatization. They now hope to summit on May 23. So tomorrow morning they will be setting off for Camp 3.
The ice fall is just wild looking in so many different ways. I'm very impressed on how much training goes into this. Truly enjoying this adventure with you! 🏔️⛄
Just read from the expedition website that you guys safely made it too the summit and back too camp 4. Congrats brother, I know you have to be hyped!. Im sure i can speak on behalf of everyone here when I say we're all so proud of you!. Can't wait for you next uploads bro. Congratulations once again! 🎉
Garrett Madison put a message on the Dispatch section of the Madison Mountaineering website saying that their team's summit push starts around midnight Mount Everest time.( it is almost 10 pm there now according to google). He said everyone did well on their rest day yesterday at Camp 4 and that they are expecting good weather today for the climb to the summit of Mount Everest!
To Ryan and your entire team: BEST OF LUCK!!!
This is so incredibly exciting!
You are all in our prayers. 🙏🙏🙏
Massive Congratulations to Ryan and team for their Everest summit 🎉🎉🎉
Job done, good lad 😊 which guiding company did you use? Fur R90k they would have carried you to the top 😅
I’ve watched quite a few Everest TH-cams before but didn’t realise just how difficult and treacherous the khumbu icefall is until watching your video. Must be difficult for the first Sherpas of the season to find a way through without getting lost or worse. It’s good watching your climb. Good luck reaching the summit
That's why they are called the Icefall Doctors. Not just anybody can go in there and design a route. Takes years of training and experience.
That's why climbers got off to a late start this year. They couldn't find good routes in the icefall.
I’ve read about the Khumbu Ice Fall for years, but never really understood what it looked like until your fabulous videos. 🤩
Same here. I have had a fascination with Everest since high school and seen many films and videos about it, but this series by Ryan has really made it seem like I am really there, more than anything else that I have ever seen!
Thank you, Ryan!!
Update***
For anyone wondering they are now at camp three where they will spend the night before heading to camp 4 as per Madison mountaineering update
Thanks.
I only found his channel a few days ago but damn I'm excited for him.
Thanks so much for update x
Hello Ryan, I’ve become rather fond of you in a friendly grandmotherly way so please take care of yourself and remember Sagarmatha will still be there next year if you don’t make it this time.
Couldn't say it better myself!!! ❤
Awwwww.. 😊
Same here I'm watching and praying for Ryan as he makes progress on his adventure.
Yes. Live to climb another day. Stay safe try again later
Me too! I have a son his same age. ❤
That Khumbu descent was a nightmare.... and it's back up again through it in a few days... the fitness needed for this is off the charts... time to rest up for rotation number 2 and the summit push!! 🙏
I quite literally am on the edge of my seat waiting for more videos 😮
Me, too.
Hoping and praying that everything goes smoothly and the weather cooperates for Ryan's team, and everyone else out on Mount Everest right now. 🙏🙏🙏
I just read that your team will be pushing for the summit tonight. I have been praying for your safety and am looking forward to seeing your updates.
Update: May23rd. Report from Garrett Madison on Madison Mountaineering blog is that 100% of team summited Everest mid-day. All are safe and well and headed back to camp 2 after a night of rest and recovery. Outstanding! Well done!
Thanks for videoing this step by step journey. I’ve read books and looked at photos, but nothing compares to going with you. I’ve always wanted to experience what’s it’s really like but I knew I didn’t have it in me.
Just seen a report that the entire Madison Mountaineering team have all summited successfully. Hope they all get down safe now and can’t wait for the videos!!
Copied from the MM website:
Hello! This is Garrett calling in for the Madison Mountaineering Mount Everest (8848m/29,032ft) expedition climb. Today is May 23rd and I’m happy to report that we all summited Mount Everest, 100 percent success and all safely back in Camp 4 (7900m/25,919ft)! That’s four climber/clients, myself as the guide/expedition leader, plus our stellar Sherpa team! We’ll put out that name list shortly, but all in all there was about 15 of us on the summit of Everest this morning.
We had a great day, a beautiful sunrise up on the Southeast Ridge! Not too many climbers on the route. It was very uncrowded, so we enjoyed the climb and the summit! We were all up there together to celebrate and savor the moment on top, and then of course made our way safely back down to Camp 4 by about midday here on May 23rd. Everyone’s just resting, rehydrating, eating some noodles and other food, and looking forward to a good night’s rest here on oxygen, then we’ll head down to Camp 2 (6500m/21,325ft) tomorrow!
All is well here! (I’m) really proud of our team. Great job to everyone! (We’re) looking forward to getting down to Camp 2 tomorrow and we’ll check in then. Thank you!
Brilliant news.🎉
Soooo happy for him! Been 💯 rooting for him since the trek through the valley
congratulations ❤
Thank you for putting this here so that everyone can read it. Congrats to Ryan and his team!!!
Eek, today is the day ❤. If everything went to plan, Ryan's team would have left camp 4 about an hour ago (midnight Nepal time) for their summit push. So exciting.
Thanks for shooting the descent through the Khumbu. Nice detail on passing the ascending climbers, ladders, rappelling and waste disposal.
Congrats on the summit, can't wait to see the footage. Thanks for filming and making this possible for all of us to see, such amazing footage.
Congrats on making the summit. Below is the team leader from Camp 4 after summiting y'all.

Summit day. Enjoy the top of the world and stay safe. Can’t wait to see your videos
Just saw the announcement from Madison Mountaineering that 100% of the team made it to the summit, so, congratulations Sir. Now I wish you a safe decent.
Amazing footage. I am glad you were not in the ice fall during the big collapse.
This is so interesting to see, I wish there were more climbers that documented the whole journey. Well done Ryan!
Also….am I the only one that loves the sound of crampons in the snow? 😅
Well done to Ryan and the entire team (including sherpas and porters) for making this possible. All that hard work and preparation has paid off. The job is not quite yet finished and so I am wishing you a safe journey back to basecamp, safely getting past the crevasses and seracs. Take care. I'm looking forward to seeing the videos in due course but no rush - take some time to rest first.
So glad to see Ryan and the whole team back safely! Congratulations!!🎉
100% Summit Success!

It comes with great pleasure to share that 100% of the Madison Mountaineering Mount Everest expedition team has successfully reached the highest point on Earth at 8,848 meters/29,032 feet - the summit of Mount Everest! The team all gathered on the top to share photos, hugs, and high-fives before safely making the descent back to Camp 4. After some well-deserved rest tonight, they’ll continue their descent tomorrow down to Camp 2. Congratulations to the entire team on this incredible achievement! We are so proud and look forward to welcoming everyone back into base camp soon. Expedition leader, Garrett Madison checks in with this dispatch from Camp 4:
Wow. I know Alan has said this years path through the icefall was intense, but seeing you go through it...wow.
I drive Uber in Nashville. Today I asked a rider where he's from & he said Nepal, Katmandu!! I went crazy & showed him this channel & he subbed to watch ❤
I’m going to Nashville next weekend! Any good restaurant recommendations??
haha
@@WeMissYouSnail do u like Indian food?? Chauhan Masala House , a restaurant by a chef featured on Food Network...it's amazing
@@WeMissYouSnail H&S bagels is great! Can’t miss loveless cafe as well
@@msbeecee1That must be Maneet Chauhan. The Dancing Spice Queen. She's famous on FN! Judge and competitor. I've learned a lot from watching her cooking style and techniques.
CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING THE SUMMIT!!!!
HE MADE IT!!!!
Half of me keeps thinking, “that is 100% insane”, but the other half says, “I wanna do that SO BAD”. lol. I’m really living vicariously through you, man, this has been totally epic and I appreciate you going through the trouble of filming and all that.
I think you just make those noises as a stress relief. I would be swearing left and right if I had to casually step over a gaping chasm, lol. Here’s to good weather and a strong will, my friend. Your dog misses you, too, I know it.
Start saving your money now. Mountaineering can be very expensive.
Thanks Ryan.Good job. Glad to see you safely through icefall.Have a good break back in village. Stay safe.
You’re a beast, good luck and stay safe.
This is going to leave you with a life experience ❤ stay safe . The hardest part is not over . Save strength for decent
Fantastic detailed video, we love watching your Everest trekking videos, fantastic work on details and views from every step of the way…keep up the amazingly excellent job and as you always said in your videos: safety first 😊 we look forward to to the next video…
Ugh, that icefall is an acrophobe's worst nightmare. Thanks for allowing me to be terrified from the safety of my chair.
It felt worse descending than when he went up. Though I know Ryan got down, I was still on edge.
That icefall is just a nightmare, period.
@@ruthm3813 Things are always scarier descending than ascending, aren't they? I know they always are for me. But indeed, on this one I did rather appreciate the reassurance of knowing that if Ryan hadn't descended safely to base camp, we probably wouldn't be seeing the video. Well... At least, not such a nicely-edited one and not so quickly.
There’s a LOT of NOPE NOPE NOPE on that last video
These videos are so incredibly amazing!! I am loving every minute of it! It feels like we are right there with you! I've never seen anything like your series on TH-cam before!!
Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time and energy required to make these videos and to share them with us!
🕉🕉🕉🕉🕉🕉🕉
Sending you good vibes and saying a little prayer for a good weather window!!
Namaste. 🇳🇵 🇳🇵 🇳🇵 🇳🇵 🇳🇵
I'm not sure if anyone before has taken so good footage from all parts of the South Route of Everest. I hope you can manage to bring footage from the high section of the mountain as well. Good luck!
For anyone wanting an update he reached the summit on 5/23/24 and his entire team made it back to camp 4 safely. they are resting and will head down to camp 2 tomorrow.
Unbelievable news!!!
Good news
Great news. Saw where 2 hikers fell at top. Was praying Ryan was safe.
Heard he did it in 5 hours amazing! Great job Ryan, I was worried for you when I heard about the long lines and collapse of Hillary!
Awesome thank you for sharing, iv been wondering how he was doing. So happy for him and the team.❤
Good luck Ryan on your climb, so looking forward to seeing your uploads, honestly your such a great inspiration ⛰ 🌨 x
Hope your summit was successful mate. Get back down safe. Looking forward to your updates
CONGRATS Ryan on reaching the summit. I had faith in you your family and friends much be so PROUD. Get home safe🇨🇦
Such beautiful amazing views thinking for sharing
Best footage of the icefall I have seen. Very nice. All the best on your journey to the top. Excited the see your journey 🙏🪂☕️
It’s so cool to see the Khumba icefall up close. Thanks for the incredible video ❤you got this! Tonight well, actually now you should be going for Summit! Be careful ❤
First time I've really gotten a sense of the Icefall, and how dangerous it must be, changing form all the time. The Sherpas setting rope really deserve better pay. You do great film work and there's nothing boastful about you: it must be a big help to the others, to to make them feel braver.
Do you know what they get paid then??
Ryan Mitchell, climbing with Madison Mountaineering and one of my Summit Coach clients, gave an update on behalf of his team: By the way, Ryan is doing a very well-done video log on TH-cam that is generating many followers.
Hey, everybody! It’s day 36 of the Madison Mountaineering Mount Everest (8848m/29,032ft) expedition.
We’re all feeling good here! It turns out that our initial summit day of May 22nd isn’t looking that good. The weatherman said that we should wait until the 23rd. Therefore, we decided to wait in Camp 2 (6500m/21,325ft) for one more day. So, that’s giving us a little bit more acclimatization time. We’re going to be stronger, ready to move up to Camp 3 (7230m/23,720ft) tomorrow morning - a nice alpine, 6:00 AM start. Not really “alpine,” but it’ll be nice.
Other than that, we’re all prepared, we’re getting those macros in. Better to be at Camp 2 rather than up higher waiting. It turns out a lot of teams actually turned back, so we made the right decision and we’re ready to go!
I’d like to shout out my dog, Harley! He’s technically my mom’s dog, but we all know that he likes me more! Sorry mom… That’s all! Oh, this is Ryan by the way.
Update: Maddison arrived at Camp 3 on Monday night, May 20, Nepal time. Also, Furtenbach’s Nepal team is at the Col, but it took them nine hours to climb from Camp 3. It should have taken under four, so the route must be jammed.
But we saw today(21/05/2024) almost like 30 Summits allready, i hope they didnt miss the window, yday (20/05/24) ~ 50 Summits
@@Baron_de_Charlhus They are probably deliberately making their summit push a bit later to avoid the crowds.
On the Madison Mountaineering webpage it said the update was from Ryan Moore. Was that a mistake as the surname is different to this channel?
Appreciate the update.
Thank you! Came for the update 🙏🏼💕
I’m so nervous the new update on the website says they are about to summit at midnight good luck team you got this!!!!
Ryan hopefully should be back at camp 4 now after his summit! Congrats!
Can’t wait to see the summit video! I know you can do it! Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
Incredible stuff! Rest and take care.Thanks for taking us with you!
As a non climber, that's fascinated with watching Everest climbing vlogs, especially the khumbu icefall. I loved this video. Well shot and explained. I enjoyed it so much!!
He’s gotta be making his ascent now. 🤞it’s almost 10 am there. 🙏 praying for everyone.
New update*****
They are now in camp 4, the plan is to rest tonight and tomorrow then head for summit morning of the 23rd as per Madison Mountaineering web page
Well I’m exhausted, I never realised the Icefall took so long. And you’ve got to do it all again, wishing you lots of luck and a happy climb.
Guessing your going back up for a summit push in just less than a week. Listen to your Sherpa, never ignore or go against their advice after leaving the South Col. On the summit day (you will be leaving the night before) make sure you hold what is important to you and how important you are to your family. Your blogs are super chilled but to inject a bit of reality be prepared to choose to live rather than top out and not make it back, go through this scenario in your head prior. Not summiting Everest on your first attempt is not a failure, dying is. If you feel utterly ruined at the South Summit and know your reserves are gone and nearly spent, head down rather than wait it out for the step, there is always another year. It becomes much harder above 26,000 on any mountain and despite being in a team, should the worst happen say above the south summit with exhaustion your chances of getting back are pretty remote. Also if your struggling to get fluids in at the South Col and keep them (other end ) then again don't go up. Remember every down suit in the snow once was a highly motivated, highly fit and sometimes highly capable mountaineer with decades of experience. Depending on weather, luck and how you are on the day the mountain will always be there, especially for one so young. Wishing you blue sky's and the very best of luck for next week. PS Use handgel sanitizer after touching the money and esp prior to eating if your heading to say Gorakshep etc (bad stomach on top of alitude bad stomach is a real shit and you'll miss the window completely). Edit - PS Good to see the new rules in effect with the waste dumps.
if they make camp 4 they are going for it no matter what
Excellent advice!!
Yes, Dave, Ryan was coached by experienced mountaineer Alan Arnette for many months prior to this climb, and I suspect that Alan most likely told him these things.
But I love it when someone with lots of mountaineering experience chimes in here.
It makes my day when I read comments like yours!!
And to anyone out there who reads this, Alan Arnette has a fascinating TH-cam channel of his own, and he has weekly updates about the activities on Everest and other mountains, which are really good.
I first heard about Ryan in a interview on Alan's channel a few months ago. Highly recommended video for anyone out there who has not seen it!
@@Amanwithoutaface112 Yea likely to set out agreed and push for the balcony but if they make that in sh*t state and time and part of a large well respected expedition then the guide will likely turn them around here when changing bottles if really well behind, unless they have been suffering from some ox issue and it can be attributed to that, or even say they might have paid for supplemental say 4-5 liters flow and been on standard 3 or whatever,makes a big difference. There are bad guides, but these are generally routed out and well the competiion for the top teams (and prices) is tough so they generally will be found out in short order. They also have seen it all before, so are better places to assess your time and general ability to make a judgement call higher up the mountain knowing you might get past the south east ridge slabs and even summit, but that is only half the journey. I'd say there are quite a few climbers up there that had they turned back at the South Summit would be able to read this today. You'd be very foolish to go against a good guide and their advice, unless you are an accomplished mountaineer yourself and have alot of high altitude experience and knew exactly how your body can perform, but its important to note you may have done a route before, then not able or vice versa, the wonders of the human body. The reality is you tend to make less rational decisions the higher up you go, sleep deprived, in pain, low ox, struggling to get calories in, struggling to get fluids in or retain, it all add's up which is why people often need a voice of reason/sanity.
@@NancyHanson3472 Yea he will know the score on guides too etc and companies and sure will have passed on the beta of the route and what to expect. One thing i would add if he read's this is carry spare energy gels compared to whatever you think you may need and have electrolytes. Literally can be life saving. Ensure your well hydrated on leaving the col. Also pace yourself, case of tortoise and hare at high altitude.
Seems like he might be doing the Push this weekend? Has anyone heard latest abt the weather? I wish he would have given Arnette permission to post IG updates on him...
Thank you to Ryan & his team for these videos! Have a safe summit!!
Summit rotation starts tonight. Good luck for the 22nd for summit day. We’re all rooting for you!
Wow Sir Wow! No one can prepare you for the details and wonder that is the kumbu ice falls. Incredible footage TY 🙏🏼💕🐿
Hi Ryan,the Khumbu is certainly a dangerous part of your journey, rest up,can't wait to see you on the summit,good luck to all your team👍
Khumbu ice fall is crazy thanks for a great video rest up x
Just saw the post from Madison that you’re on the summit climb right now! GOOD LUCK!!! We are all rooting for you!
I went to both the Madison Mountaineering website and their instagram. I think that Madison Mountaineering has one team climbing both Everest and Lohtse together and the owner, Garrett Madison is on that team and they have summitted Everest. Ryan's team is doing Everest only, and they have gone back to the village of Namche to rest and will make their way back up with their summit bid scheduled for next Wednesday, if the weather cooperates. (It takes 12 hours to walk to Namche, one way).
Makes it kind of confusing when Madison Mountaineering has two separate teams in the area at the same time.
And Ryan has not shown any videos with Garrett Madison in them, so he is also climbing there, but not with Ryan.
@@NancyHanson3472they are currently in camp 2 on summit push as per Madison Mountaineering current update and Ryan’s comment on this video.
Ryan has certainly shown videos with Garrett just not on the climb, if he’s on the climb Garrett is likely at the back where Ryan has been travelling at the front
Congratulations on summitting Everest!!! I can't wait to see the videos! God bless!
Been following the journey since day one. Congrats on the summit! Can’t wait to see what you recorded
I read on Alan Arnette’s blog that Ryan summited on 23 May. I can’t wait til he can get another video out and tell us the whole story. From what I gather a cornice collapsed on the summit ridge that day and two climbers disappeared down the 11k foot Kangshung Face.
I saw some pics from Maddison’s IG and the team summited safely and are back at base camp. I can’t wait to see the final videos. His face looks really puffy in the summit pics and I’m hoping he’s doing ok now
Please take good care.. 😊 we all care for you..
Thank you for taking us on your journey!! How beautiful is the ice falls!! 😍. Rest well mate
I actually start watching for your videos ariund 9 or 10 every night
Pretty cool.😊
Can't thank you enough for the videos and for keeping it real! Loving it! ..... have a good rest! Sorry you're missing your dog 😪
He made it to the summit 👍
❤🎉Whether you sunmit or not, you have already been so successful. #GoGetItRyan this has been awesome. Thank you so much.
Summit day! Hopefully he's a few hours into the trek. Good luck up there!
Dhanyavaad. Thuche-che. Thank you, thank you thank you!!! So many people skip all the actual details of the route. It's nice to see all the technical details. Great commentary too!!!
Best wishes to you and your team Ryan. Be safe my dear! Waiting to hear about it all. Much love from Chennai, India
You’re doing awesome! It looks so gorgeous and I love your positive energy :)
How in the world do the Sherpas figure out the path through there?!?! Thank you again for sharing your adventure with us!!!
Years of experience and they may be using Drones today to scout the area before.
This was captured and edited so beautifully. Thank you for the inside look into the mountain. Stay safe
Snow buckling under the weight of to many people wild crowding this year and to much soft snow may of give less places but all rushing to go at once is insane and will cause fatalities hope u are descending well
Just think you and your dog will be celebrating together soon 🎉😊🐶
Great filming of the icefall, and great to see you being safe. Glad you didn't talk when you didn't feel like it--a good way to take care on the hard climbs. Best of luck with getting to the top. You have quite a few people cheering you on now!
That ice fall area is STUNNING with the new snow on it!! ❄️
Seen the first pics of Ryan on instagram! Congrats looking good Ryan!!
You rock, kiddo. I don't know you, but I'm super proud of you..
wow, been watching for a few days now, amazing videos dude
Thinking of you and waiting for new day video! Please keep safe! 🇭🇷🇨🇦
oh my god 15:30 you guys aren't just on the icefall at this point, this is straight up just walking on seracs. absolutely insane. it's terrifying to think that this is essentially a river of ice moving underneath your feet, and you're walking on top of a shifting ocean. without the icefall doctors fixing these lines it would easily take x4 longer to find a safe way down 🥲 i hope you'll see these comments when you're back at base camp a week from now. safe travels ❤
