@@mattraalat3438 you, me and the most of people out there wouldn't, but these guys, they totally would and did so
Cus that’s the same thing ahhahaha lazy bastard
Thank you so much for NOT laying a music track over this. The sights and sounds of the mountain are more than enough.
Top of the world by the Carpenters would have been a nice background song.

I can’t even fathom how difficult that is. Hearing that gentleman breathe so hard made my own lungs hurt!
Same
😱
He's using O2 tanks
HAHAHA
In fact, that area is literally a dead zone since there’s no oxygen so they had to race the time with their oxygen tanks
The amount of passion these guys must have to climb such a terrifying mountain... truly insane.
Stupidity is more like it
Passion or ego
Imagine summiting Everest and then coming back down and finding out you didn't hit record on your GoPro
It's okay the 20 other people that went with you also had their go pros "hopefully on"
Better than die
Well, theyd have their memories at least
A pilot flew a chopper to the top of the Everest. Came back and to his and his teams horror, found exactly what you described. The equipment did not record anything. So the next day he did it again and successfully recorded it this time. The footage is available on internet. check it out...
Run it back
Is this the route our parents took to school every day?!?!
Up hill, both ways with nothing but a sack of gravel for lunch! 🤣
@@kengibbens5059 A sack of gravel? You were lucky! I'd have dreamed of a sack of gravel. We had a lump of cold poison with no butter.
this joke is on every mountain video
yeah that + K2
And no shoes. Uphill both ways. LOL
Every time I see all the equipment and help modern Everest climbs have it makes me think of what a bunch of beasts the guys that did this back in the 1920's must have been. They climbed with a lot of weight, weight of their steel balls.
They climbed mountains, not ropes. These guys aren't climbers and they know it. Tallest garbage dump on the planet. And now that there can be no more pretense that everest isn't ruined, the party is moving to k2. Money ruins everything.
@@dindu551 man shut up
@@dindu551 bro even climbing ropes aint that easy. Give them a bit of respect
There oxygen came in wooden crates and weighed 30lbs.
@@dindu551 like u could do it
The sky is breathtaking. Such a pretty shade of dark blue, almost as if you could reach into outer space from the summit. That feeling, that true feeling of being on top of the world, is unimaginable to me. May all that have attempted but passed along the way Rest In Peace.
I would like to visit Everest, but just at the base camp to have a feel of the surroundings there and look at the mountain with my own eyes. That would be enough for me
I've done this--as a foreigner, you need a guide to get into Tibet, but you can spend the night at Rongbuk Monastary at Everest's base. I'm an avid hiker and have done quite a few 14'ers in the Rockies, but I've never been so glad to *not* have to climb a mountain.
Well it take almost 4 days to reach base camp not easy 😄
You Can do that easily from Nepal.. 😇 you can check different webistds and they will provide you with best deals .... love from nepal 🔥
@@susminathapaliya5115 thanks for the info my dear.
@@sarahsnyder8557 Thanks for the info. Perhaps I will go in a few years after the pandemic really ends. Im just a casual hiker climber just doing it to enjoy nature and keeping a healthy lifestyle. :)))

Yup
You should consider a mountain in Russia, Mr. Putin
i acctually climed to the base camp thingy i think it is about 6000 feet in the air
Can I have your autograph?

I couldn't even imagine doing this. But hats off too anyone who can even attempt to climb Mt Everest it truly is amazing to watch even through a screen!
That’s absolutely incredible. Never been blown away by an amazing historic video in my life. Hasn’t even reached a million of people to reach Everest. What an experience. Thank you for taking us
I need supplemental oxygen just to watch this. Incredible.

Respect to all who climbed Everest regardless of whether success or not. This required absolutely mental and physical strength. I was at Everest Base Camp and managed to summit Island Peak (6189 m). That is enough for me. One of the toughest trip of my life.
Hi, glad to hear you're back safe. What made you decide that enough is enough? Also was it as easy as "Alright guys that's enough for me, going back down now!" and you hike back down on your own? Or did you have someone follow you down.
I'm new to this and have been very interested, thank you!
@@EdwinMactalMusic I’m not sure what it was for him, but for me, I had defecated in my trousers and did not have a new pair.

@@sl9wdive You couldn't climb one.
Wow, this is just stunning. Out of curiosity, I Googled the stats. Everest is 29,032 feet (8,848.86 meters), or 5.4984 miles (8.84 km). Kudos to those who can make such a trek. For those of us who cannot, thank you for sharing this, it is just out of this world! And yes, thank you for the lack of music. Hearing the wind blowing make it all-the-more real.
Yes, but the Everest Advanced Base Camp is at 6,400 meters ASL, one don't need climb 8,848.86 meters to reach the summit.
In Denali (Alaska) is need climb 5,500 meters for reach the summit due the fact that this mountain is just 900 meters ASL.
At 1:27 and 3:10 you see the "Hilary Step." Beautiful video Elia. You brought all the adrenalin of the climb back. For non-climbers, at this altitude, even with oxygen, a climber takes one step, sucks in four full breaths, and then takes the next step. Tried it in your living room and be surprised how slow the climb really is (step - 4x deep breaths and exhales, step).
Salut to a guy who went up there first and did all the ropes etc. I cant even imagine how it was possible.
salut to them who tried it and died before the first guy who made it to the top
120 people died while doing the ropes and all that

Absolutely incredible and totally proud of you people having the balls to do it. Bless you all
What an awesome video. The heavy breathing of those on oxygen, has me gulping and fighting for air, even though its all around me, unlike that mountain. Then I have to remind myself of where I am, ...safe in my warm home, under blankets, watching videos of others' triumphs, defeats, loss of limbs, near death experiences for some, and the total loss of life, for others.
One mustn’t forget to thank the incredible sherpas who hauled the loads, cut the steps, laid the ropes and made it, if not a cake walk, a not too killer ice walk. The more I watch these, the more I am in awe of Hillary and Tenzing.
Yeah, the whole "I climbed Everest" thing is pretty lame now. You pay 60 grand to have someone carry all your supplies while you take selfies every step of the way... It's lame as hell. I celebrate every time the mountain claims a hipster.
While its definitely a lot easier now, its still no small task to summit Everest, as evidenced by the amount of those who fail. Of course the sherpas and the first people to do it before the guide ropes accomplished an even more amazing feat, but its still a daunting and physically punishing task, and a life lost is nothing to celebrate.
Unbelievable Pakistan.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME CAPTURE!
Is the coughing due to lack oxygen in your heart ? Or ?
Good question I'm not sure
@@ptrblz It's because I ran to the summit at 29K feet to get the shot of everyone arriving. I can't ask anyone to stop so have to shoot it reality-style. There is a blog link in the description if you're curious.

Congratulations on reaching the top of Everest! As someone who has summited the peak back in 2017, I can say that it's a moment that changes you forever. You've shown that with the right mindset, training, and a bit of luck, anything is possible. Enjoy this moment and keep climbing towards your next adventure! 🏔️👏 #EverestAdventure #mindset #training
A lots of respect for u 🙏
Salute to u man for your physical and mental strength and courage 🙏🙏
You forget to mention that the sherpas do most of the work for you, shit for brains. Real accomplishment - not. I’ll bet you left your share of trash and filth behind to add to the 75 tons that you’re kind has left up there already. You all disgust a true naturalist like me.
Thank you for shooting a clean/appropriate Everest video. I’m going to share this with my class. Thanks!!
You have picked the best soundtrack for this, utter silence of the mountain is gorgeous and crisp - giving that extra sense of raw human determination
That and lots of deep breathing.
Moby - everloving
Brandt K I agree! Playing stupid music would ruin it for me

the silence of the mountain and the sound of wind are the best soundtrack for the video.
And coughing.
Those that died climbing Everest, may they ever-rest in peace
You know those who died during climbing still have their body preserve until today and they have become a landmark for future climbing.

Reinhold messner,:hold my ice pick
@@karlorodriguez8089 i'm not sure, but i think i heard about that professional climbers don't use additional oxygen to make climbing more valuable for them
@@pandora509 90% of climbers, even professionals, need supplemental oxygen to summit Everest, and especially to get back down. There are some rare individuals who apparently have superhuman lungs and don't need it. That's by far the exception to the rule though.

It just absolutely blows my mind that people not only dare to try this but actually make it out alive.
Many don't make it
Many many don’t
I've been twice once you get over that fear it's pretty simple. Just a mountain
@@Stuartrobinson84 i highly doubt that
Lol Everest is nothing. Every real mountaineer knows K2 is the real challenge. Any idiot with cash to spend can summit this peak.
wow this is so great I can't even imagine climbing in that cold weather and temperature, they are people who have strong body and mentality and their cooperation is very good
It's really hard getting to the top of the world. But now you have to turn around and get down! Big respect to all those who have the means and ability to try.
yes, it's really hard as long as we have the intention and try to practice, surely we will stand our feet on the highest peak of the world
i'm not afraid of death/the act of dying but in this situation i think i would be. the thought of being left there untouched and not able to be brought back down would terrify me. major props to anyone who has climbed or attempted to climb no matter how far you got or if you even made it out alive at all, true willpower.
Thats the comforting part to me. Being able to have such a peaceful final resting place. The scary part is if you fall on your own and get trapped in a place where no one can save you, and have to die slowly and horribly. Now that's terrifying.
I completely agree very well put
@@chromberries7329 u won't die that slowly , up there it's max 30 mins

Amazing! I was expecting shitty music, crappy slo-mo editing, the works. Instead, nothing but the silence of that surreal moment on the summit...beautiful!
Many people on TH-cam ripped a few pieces out of me for other videos and the 'epic' and 'shitty' music I used. I listened. ;)
I'm glad you did. Think if you would want to be listening to music when you are up there on the mountain tops in all of mother natures glory. I'm guessing you wouldn't and would rather want to take it all in because it's so surreal. Viewers want to live as vicariously as possible in those moments because they are magical.
that was youtube in 2011 or so.
this is type of documentary video that doesn't put a lot of music in there
Alex S would you know what part of the mountain they're standing on at the *1:41**- **1:50* mark in this video? It's that razors edge part that's right before where "the step" once was, I'm pretty sure of but don't know what that part of the Mountain is called? Any help??
This man always tries to do something new and exta ordinary and make his audience feel excited for every next video, Love you bro ❤️❤️💙💚💜
Yes, but the peak of achievement in climbing a mountain is to return home in good health
Just amazing! I live vicariously through them!
It's typical for a climber to take one step and rest for a couple of breaths and than take another step when that close to the summit of Everest. Watching that climber take 5-6 deep breaths was something incredible to catch on film.
Especially when he bent over and leaned on me while I was filming :)

I'll always remember my expedition back in '97 with the (now legendary) Ken 'Eddie' Kennedy of the Downtown Nepal crew. We left camp 4 at about 10pm and made it as far as the Zabriskie Doormat. Then the weather suddenly worsened. At that time you couldn't use online weather radars. We ground to a halt and it took another hour to make it to the middle of Sumner's Handbasket, which was one of the most icy points. By that point, and without the benefit of a piste map or any salt buckets, we decided it was best to turn back.
There would be no summits that day. But one thing's for sure, being in places I'd only ever heard about, was definitely something to think about. And I still do, to this day. RIP Kenny boy. You're the man.

Thanks for saying that. With humility, I say: you're absolutely right. This was a massive effort to film all of this, especially when you can't ask anyone to stop. It took tremendous will power to pull it off. I suffered immensely doing all of this, but it was worth it.
Appreciate you saying that. Thank you.
Congratulations that’s amazing! I just got into mountaineering and submitted Mt. Rainier on Mother’s Day a few weeks ago! Not the same but definitely a start.
with a proper dslr none the less which is heavy as fuck
Lol - Yup. Plus batteries. And the tripod used in 2-3 of the shots. And the t3i that froze because of condensation from my oxygen mask in the night. And especially because at 8848m there is 1/3 the level of oxygen in the atmosphere. Every ounce counts!
I know you get this question a lot I'm sure. But people die, it looks exhausting, it's Beautiful for sure. What drives you to climb? Why for you is it important to reach the summit? I've always been fascinated with Everest, and any man that climbs this monstrous mountain is truly one who has amazing strength and drive! Good for you! Amazing.
Hi Elia, you probably won’t see this but I just want to express my gratitude for posting this video. I know there are others out there like this but this is special. I only found this video because I read Gabriel’s autobiography and I really loved it. This will be very useful to me for school and I just wanted to see what it really is like to climb. A lot of things are a bit different from what I expected. So thanks because you have a direct connection to the book. I also gotta say, I feel inspired and I would like to try climbing a mountain myself some day.

@@gopr3117 Not enormously. Given the fact that they risk their lives the payment in minuscule. They do it because they have no other options. They make around $5k in the whole season.
@@gopr3117 Sherpas are generally paid 125-150 USD a day, in a year perhaps they can work for around 50-60 days (some are less) which make their annual income to around 5.000-6.500 USD. Not that much for risking your life to be honest, but considering average income in Nepal is around 900 USD a year, yea they have a better earning than rest of the Nepalese.

Too bad it’s become another tourist attraction with people standing in line to get up...
Reinhold Messner & Peter Habeler 1978 reached the Everest summit without supplemental oxygen, only with very light (and primitive) equipment in pure alpine style. Now that you have seen this video and how daunting it still looks despite modern equipment and oxygen. Just try to put in context what an unthinkable achievement it was for RM & PH to have summited this peak more than 42 years ago. One of the finest performances in the history of mountaineering, hands down.
In human history actually imagine how hard it was climbing without oxygen
As far as climbing goes. Nothing, and I mean nothing tops Alex Honnolds free solo of El Capitan. It’s the single greatest physical feat in human history.
@@nkyryry That is for sure outstanding, but keep in mind Ulli Steck did also free climb it with Alex once. And dont forget David Lama who free solo climbed the mighty Cerro Torre a 3128 metre vertical wall in the Andes mountains which is additionally covered in ice, making it significantly harder than El Capitan. Even Reinhold Messner himself considered it "un-doable". All I am trying to say Alex Honnold is not completely alone there are 2 or 3 more like him out there, unfortunately many if not most have died already (Steck, Lama...).
People in the past were differently conditioned than the potatoe chips eaters with instagram account nowadays.
@@danjomanjo2941 True words brother.
Asia is the best to have fun, enjoy and explore. Adventure never ends, so keep going lionheart. I love watching all these people accomplish something amazing, HEROIC
I remember being on Pike's Peak (a mere 14,000 feet) and being completely out breath. No idea how you all can do it! Hearing the heavy breathing even with oxygen made my lungs hurt! Much respect to anyone who can do this.
Put a garbage bag on your head and tie it closed. Start running. I hear climbing Everest is like this.
You can literally see the darkness of space in the sky. That’s how high they are. Wow
It's not even near space but while watching this video I was scared as hell
That's not space.
That's literally just the top of Troposphere.
Just under 30k feet
@@bluexlight6439 hmm I obviously don’t know what I’m talking about. But we can all agree how amazing this feat is
@@Rawness97 Ooh yeah
The main work are done by the Sherpas. Huge respect and salute for them!! ❤️❤️
congratulations to the brave sherpas. Om shanti
What a journey! It's really inspired me a lot. One day I will do this job.
Excellent video; this is the best videography on the Hillary Step that I have seen - man, that is one beast of a cliff to greet you at almost 29,000 feet on the climb! 😮 🥇🥇🥇
Kids: hiking mountains is so lovely
Everest: *ah yes, come here son*
lmao
olympus mons: hold my beer
lol 😂
So funny you piece of rotten condom

Meanwhile, I could barely climb out of bed.
Strap your bed to yourself and then climb Everest.
Fuck you @plato TPT
Troll culture at its finest 👌

Stunning photography: DON'T MISS!
congratulations! I was breathing with you sitting at my desk in office
Alex , your boss read your comment and wants to see you first thing Monday morning. Lol. Just a little joke.
Gay tho
So?
@@jamesdebearn4362 How many times have you uttered that lame sad two words just to join in?
wrr
Imagine the battery died as soon as you reach the top
You should read the behind the scenes blog post in the description.
Bruh
No problem he'll just pop down and recharge the battery
wrg, any s ok

Beautiful views. If I was into mountain climbing, I would definitely give it a go myself. Something spectacular about Everest
So insanely cool and breathtaking but terrifying and beautiful all at the same time
I am sitting at my home with 30 degrees celsius outside, watching the highest peak om my laptop. I might never go there but seeing it in front of your eyes, it's just crazy feeling.
Too hot for me, I prefer -30c.
This is as close as I’ll ever get to my Everest thank you so much TH-cam u saved me $250k! 🤲🏽
Wtf where you get that number from
@@HurricaneLaughter estimated to what it costs to climb Everest
@@jawa4929 it’s no where near 250k
@@jawa4929 It's not true. The cost it's alround 30,000-140,000 $.
@@Whoistruelyhappy cool
HOW AMAZING!!!! I have so much respect for people that reach the top and make it down!
Seeing these guys breathe so heavily and cough is extremely stressful.
It was awful
High altitude pulmonary edema seems almost to be the norm there...you know it is with all the coughing heard. Making just a few steps and already hyperventilating! Low atmospheric oxygen pressure in the lungs + effort that rises oxygen consumption + edema which decreases oxygen supply and increases right heart work = inhuman conditions! It's fascinating and almost horrifying seeing people risk their lives like that! They're brave, that's for sure.
Yeap that was me in the Rocky Mountains, over weight couldn't breathe could barely walk around on the top of it & that was driving LOL. No way I could climb that far on foot. I would be like Homer Simpson using all my oxygen just climbing up the first 5 feet of it LOL. And on top of that I'm a FL. boy no way I could handle that cold BRRR
@@billybob-ro6qf What elevation?
ESPECIALLY 2:40
Edmund Hillary is an absolute beast doing that without the guide ropes and ladders
Let's not forget Tenzing Norgay :D he was the one who guided them!
@@_jojo11 edmund is a pussy. tenzing is the true god.
Those two men were absolute legends. As were Mallory and Irvine.
@@HaceSunnyDSol he would crush you with his feats, they wouldn’t have done it without each other, Hillary pussy? No. You? More than likely
@@mikejones-go8vz Tenzing carried Edmund on his back to hell and back. All edmund did was follow like a bitch
Life changing. Has to be. It’s on my slide for sure 👍🏼
Excellent footage, Congrats on making it to the top!
Respect to Sherpas who actually put the ropes and stuff so that people can climb. Legends
Thank you means alot. That the work we put in is really appreciated
Stuart Robinson thank you Stuart for your service
@@Stuartrobinson84 shut up Stuart Robinson is the whitest name i have ever heard
@@user-kn2oc5ps3h what's my name have to do with it?? I am white doesn't mean I can't climb a mountain does it?
@@Stuartrobinson84 white people arent Sherpas and lets be honest you're probably 14
That must be a hell of a memory to have.
If you live, yes
