Amazing how smooth the sherpas make the climb. Without their help there would be no lines, probably just a few pro climbers per year, most of whom would die.

One of the strengths of your Everest videos was that you gave us so much footage "outside" of yourself. You mapped Everest from the ground. I loved seeing the smaller mountains you trained on, and the views from camp one and two - which were other-worldly and extremely beautiful. The simple GoPro view of the icefall outdid almost any of the views I have seen.
It’s gotten so touristy I wouldn’t even want to do it… it kind of sickens me, the lines, the trash, the fact it costs like $60K minimum. It’s just gross.
A Polish youtuber " Patecwariatec " has an series on his chanel about the Everest. He attacked the summit before you, and he knew those 2 people who died - I highly reccomend to watch his videos even if you'll have to watch with subtitles!
2:56 the guys that have died are Mr. Pas Tenji sherpa and his client Mr. Paul Daniel Patterson. they have been in expetidion with a famous polish youtuber Jakub Patecki and their death is mention at the end of the summit attack video. and it wasnt the way that they went this way alone to avoid other climbers, everybody was walking the way they did in every expedition but suddenly it fell when they where on it.
You were also assigned an excellent Sherman coming down from the summit. He was clipping you in for you and moving you down fast. I remember you saying you thought it was unnecessary but definitely want to get out of the death zone quickly and safe. Kudos to him.
absolutely incredible that they let people with two days of course experience try to begin to tackle the tallest mountains on earth. The way this is done removes all worth of climbing the mountains.
@@checkyourself164 if someone with less experience than you climbing a mountain takes away all the worth of climbing the mountain… then you’re probably in it for the wrong reasons anyways
@@The4j1123 "You don't own the planet" neither do inexperienced climbers own the right to risk other people's lives? I'd argue that's far more important than a few idiots missing out on a climb
@@The4j1123they aren’t climbing the mountain 😂 they are being guided by a Sherpa while they walk along a rope line. The fact that someone with 3 hours of climbing experience is even allowed to be near Everest is the reason we still have deaths in the modern age. It removes the worth not because “it’s no longer an impressive feat” but rather because the joy should come from the journey not the destination these people are only climbing Everest to tell others they did it 😕😡
Mount Everest is the one dream that is okay to give up on. Please, and PLEASE don't climb it. My dad was smart enough to stop at base camp but his buddies didn't and one of them ended up falling from 10,000 feet and they found his body 20 years later. That guy had a family and children and even if you don't have children have them one day to carry on a legacy and don't not do that because you had a dream to climb a rock because the benefits of having a family outweigh climbing for your life
Throw a bit of **small** gauge braided steel wire (a couple feet- it only weighs an oz or 2) in your pack, OR rap it around the ice axe handle or trekking pole and duct tape over it. I've had even well fitted crampons pop off and in a critical position that bit of wire can help secure the crampon.
You forgot to mention the biggest cause of deaths, inexperience. The fact that in your main video you were literally learning the most basic skills required AT BASE CAMP days before your climb, you didn't know how to use your crampons (not front pointing on vertical faces), you didn't know how to even hold an ascender/jumar etc. Not bashing you, but YOU are the perfect example of why people die on Everest (not that there's many deaths, its a VERY safe mountain). If a member of your team fell into a crevasse, you'd have zero idea how to rescue them, as you haven't had any training on crevasse rescue for example, there's so many reasons it's a bad idea for people without experience to just jump straight in to the deep end and do Everest just because they can financially. You should really address this.
Sorry, but climbing Everest should be outlawed. The mountain is littered with dead bodies and trash piles. Even at the peak, trash everywhere. Truly sad what tourism has done that beautiful place.
You should be paying Manuel a hefty cut of these videos profit. 100% serious. You were comically unprepared and he saved your life and was willing to risk his to make sure yours made it down. Any profit you made from then on is fully due to him, and he probably didn’t make much more than a regular day pay off it.
@maurartsy2916 OP is completely right but what are you basing that on? Even if you think all commercial climbers are evil and all foreign operators are exploitative, that's deeply disrespectful to the thousands of guides and porters who climb Everest multiple times a year. Sherpa communities wrestled with whether climbing mountains was disrespectful back in 1953 and decided it wasn't. Shouldn't we listen to them?
You shouldn’t have been on that mountain. I feel for all the guides who have to lead people there based on wealth, not skill. I can imagine it would be hell scrambling to keep a bunch of rich adrenaline-seeking egoists in one piece. They are literally a danger to everyone else up there, and themselves. You’re lucky you’re alive being so criminally underprepared. What a joke. RIP to every Sherpa who gave their life so some tourists could get their fix, post their internet videos, and profit. The Everest experience has ironically never been more expensive and the people seeking it so cheap in ability.
@@blackironwalterkus3851 The point still stands. Idiot wasn't experienced and decided to go to Everest anyways. He nearly died several times in the damn practice-course for it. There's a reason why there's so many dead bodies on Everest. People like him weren't as lucky.
@@BeLustigthat is incredibly short sighted of you. if you grew up and live on those mountains, you have 1 million less opportunities than the average person in a western country. idk what it’s like in your country, but in mine where there is a tourist destination, the whole area works either directly in it or services those who do. same at everest. it’s a way for the men of the villages to support their families, even at great risk. it was 100% stupid for this guy to summit everest with practically no experience and put the people who work there in grave danger.
Yes, they were definitely thinking ‘who brought this kid’ aha - very lucky my friend. Another time and I’m certain things may have not gone as smooth. Being a ‘noob’ in these environments is the prime reason for the number of deaths.
Your mechanic has a name, your waiter, lawyer, doctor, mayor, everyone. But lemme guess if youre talking to someone about your doctor or surgeon who helps with your life and health you say "my doctor". Yeah they're people, and you can appreciate what they do but also dont be a hypocrite.
Crazy this guy wanted to do everest when he had only spent 3 hrs hiking before in his life. Ive hiked twelve 14,000 ft mountains. One hike was class 4 and took 18 hrs. And yet i still have no desire to hike everest lol
God, these stories are just scary! You were very lucky to have some awesome guides with you. And the gear issue is also pretty scary, but thank goodness nothing bad happened with that and you were able to push through!
Unfortunately if you are inexperienced, you are not only putting your own life in danger, but everyone else’s too. I highly recommend the movie “Everest” based on an actual tragedy that happened not long ago. Edit: I’m also glad to see that about everyone in these comments feel the same as me. Obviously we’re so grateful he survived, thank goodness, but to put it brutally, it was stupid. He was not prepared and he shouldn’t have gone. 98% of people that go shouldn’t have gone. I’d also like to say that Everest is so trashed now, it even has a nickname as the “Highest Garbage Dump in the World”. How sad. Something that is so beautiful is littered with trash and bodies. They are too accepting. The number of people who have been on Mount Everest should be in the low hundreds, but instead it’s almost 7,000 *different* people. That’s not counting how many times each person goes.
It may be missleading coz it looks like there are a lot of peoples summiting everest everyday. Meanwhile Its few hundreds yearly, which about 50% made it to the top. Only few days per year are okay to summit this mountain (they say), so most of these hundreds peoples aim for these days. All of them are just compressed in very narrow weather window.
@@JC_958 so people can't explore the world now? conquer their fears? feel alive? so pathetic you are probably fat watching this vid from your dirty couch.
Well done! Lucky though. Shocked you were on Denali without enough crampon experience to fix a simple problem (like how to properly fit and adjust them). I miss the big mountains. Good on you for taking your shot at a few of them.
You had only ever been climbing for 3 hours at a time and you decided to train for Everest? You didn't survive because you made the right decisions. You survived because you're lucky.
Only 1% of people die climbing mt Everest nowadays… it’s just a tourist attraction now. Might as well install a roller coaster from top to bottom and sell popcorn on the way up
Just watched your 5 hour summit video. Mad respect. Been an Everest fan since I read Into Thin Air. Thanks for bringing me through it all, so now i dont have to.
I imagine Mount Everest a little like a bunch of parents (sherpas) with their kid on those harness leashes trying to get somewhere but the kid keeps falling over. The fact my mans literally put a leash on you, I’m glad to see my mental image was fairly accurate.
Being short-roped by a Sherpa isn't something I'd be too proud of admitting. That means that you were so unprepared to climb that you needed to get pulled up and down the mountain by someone else. Yikes.
All the comments saying how old he is doesn’t matter. I’m glad most everyone in these comments are seeing the problem with this. Not even the most experienced climbers are prepared for what Everest throws at them
I find it interesting you’ve only interacted with people praising you. But haven’t bothered at all to recognise or respond to the fair criticism you’re receiving. Says a lot about you.
thats literally untrue lol plus most comments that you call "fair criticism" are just bashing him on points that are untrue (hey just like yours lol) so what fo you expect him to do?
What the fuck is that going to do? He already climbed it. He probably won't ever do it again. Okay, let's say he says "sorry," but again, what does that change?? So stupid that people are actually expecting him to say something. I wouldn't either if I was him.
Why would he reply to a bunch of internet nobodies who would never hike a local trail let along climb a mountain. 95% of all the criticism he gets is not from climbers themselves, it’s from people who love the online Everest hate train. There only exposure to this sport is dramatized tragedy videos they watch on TH-cam. But they themselves would never climb a mountain nor do they know what they’re talking about. They just regurgitate what they hear on those tragedy TH-cam videos.
I would LOVE to climb Everest some day, but at the same time, think thoroughly about the great danger and mid-high accomplishment rate. I guess the prestige of climbing the world’s tallest peak intrigues us humans enough to wave risks. Congrats! 🎉
I confidently cannot recall the last TH-cam video I had this much anxiety watching. Also somehow never really seen a firsthand experience of the climb or summit of Everest, so every hat I have is off to you, Ryan. And the fact that so many people just stand at the top, let alone attempt to ascent.. Man, y'all are a hell of a lot braver than I am, that's for sure.
Thanks for frank self assessment regarding your skill level issues as you trained and climbed. I’m completely new to this as I did my first alpine climb on mount baker two weeks ago. That is like a kindergarten effort compared to what you do but I learned a lot from that short experience. Even though I’m a triathlete and ultra endurance bike racer, I encountered issues with my heavy pack and walking in deep snow. That was a new level of effort that my body hadn’t seen before. I will modify my training approach to prepare for my next climb.
I've been fascinated by mountaineering and climbing the highest peaks for years. One thing that has been consistent for me, is that I am absolutely content to watch others complete these amazing feats. I'm not interested in doing it myself, at all. Haha. Thanks for your content.
Ryan, you're talented. Your productions are top level. The overall delivery is exceptional. I am certain this skill will also translate to other aspects in your life and make you very successful. Good luck!
Thanks for describing these experiences so clearly. Very helpful information. Yes I agree about the importance of checking your gear and making sure you eat and drink enough.
Making a video highlighting the danger of Mount Everest and the fact that so many people die on it yet failing to realize that it is because of people like yourself that brave sherpa die trying to drag up the mountain so you can say you climbed the tallest mountain in the world is crazy.
The Sherpa literally offer that service and accept money for it. They literally run the commercial expeditions, they vet their own clients, they don’t have to accept everyone so the people they do take are under their own choosing and judgement. If the Sherpa want to bring an inexperienced person up the mountain for a quick check then that’s on them, but they do not have to.
@@DoltonIregardless, his point is more legit than yours. We all do die one day, and though I do agree as a mountaineer that what this kid did was stupid, you have one life. What business of yours is it to tell others how they live it?
I am not a climber, not even a hiker but I cannot understand how one can make such decisions. Like Climbing a mountain without having eaten or drink, Or saying "Aahh its fine" , when a GUIDE tells you, your crampons dont look secure... Of course there are many things, but those seem like the most obvios!! How?
It's just embarrassing the lack of experience, the risk you put the sherpa in... It's fine but you know one of your parents paid for all this just so you could tell the stories online, and all we've learnt as an audience is that we should not take any inspiration or advice from you 😂
@@Jimbojamabo Who paid for the recording equipment, PC, editing software, games, probably the house, the bills, etc? He couldn’t have had any of it without good ol Mom and dad to support him.
Glad you’re home safe and btw face looks great! healed well from that major wind/sun damage. I was as worried about skin cancer as I was about you falling off Everest lol
Crazy how 71 years ago the first person reached the summit... some of the most professional climbers in the world died trying to be first. Now the climb is like Disney land, expensive AF and anyone with money can go.
Yeah you get all your info from TH-cam videos and it shows. 130 kilometers round trip (65 kilometers uphill) is something most people cannot walk including yourself, even if someone else carried all your gear. You know you couldn’t even do 10 miles in a day with no pack, so don’t even get in the comment section regurgitating online bs like anyone with money can climb Everest. When facts are more people submitted your mom’s ovaries than Everest in the last year. Go take a hike
So many comments hating on him and calling him dumb, as if he didn’t literally admit it in the video lmao. He admits his mistakes and encourages others not to make the same ones. Yes he’s lucky to be alive, and he knows it, no need to give him hate for it
Well said, Ryan. You are an excellent communicator at a young age. I am especially impressed with your ability to clarify the many insights you have gathered in real time. So much is lost on those who are not actually "in the moment" for a variety of individualized reasons. I am inspired by your accomplishments and will surely ask my sons to watch your channel. Btw, God is real, but few secrets are revealed because we have to perform without certainty in order to be judged. Thank you!
Thanks for all your content. I've been following your progress since I heard your first interview with Alan, and I was very impressed with the maturity it takes to listen when someone tells you to wait, especially at 18 or 19 (I don't mean that in a patronizing way, I'm barely older than you). It was awesome getting to see your progression. Huge congratulations, not just on the Everest summit but on everything that led up to it. I was very excited to hear in your recent interview that you're going to keep climbing. My friends and I are rooting for you! And LOL ignore the randos who don't know how fast your time was or how hard you worked for this.
there"s a polish youtuber "patecwariatec" who climbed Everest on the same day as you :)) his pink coat is even visible on your videos! I higly recommend watching his series, he also knew the people who died and who you mentioned. so happy to see that someone were there the same day as him!
You are doing such a great job creating these videos. You have a way of putting things in order and explaining everything very understandably. I think you should continue climbing other mountains as well, not necessarily THE BIG ones. Cheers from Greece!
Admirable how you trudged through some of these daunting challenges to make one of the best documented climbs ever made of Mt. Everest. In documenting this experience you have not only shared what Mt. Everest climb looks and feels like, but have also inspired so many along the way. *Be strong and courageous, for HE goes with you.*
what? he didnt climb everest unprepared tho? all of the major mistakes cused by lack of preperation were made on different mountains? if you are going to critic him at least do so properly
Awesome job, man. We all make mistakes, but we learn from them. A few years back I almost slid off Baker because I put my crampons on the wrong feet and one popped off. Last year I picked up bad AS on Illinza because I thought I was too tough for diamox (stupid for a 47 year old). Lessons learned
Thank you Ryan, your videos provide the details and answer questions I want to know about. You’ve got the best video footage and can tell a wonderful story.
You’re such a humble badass, dude! Learned a ton from your videos and just want to say thank you! I’ll never climb Everest, but this is the next best thing. May God keep you safe and healthy on all your future climbs and journeys.
just finished Into thin Air and now loving your videos! Congrats on your climbs. Did Cotopaxi a couple years back and hope to try Chimborazo next year... with proper breakfast hopefully!
Dude, you are the man!!!! An old soul. I was hoping you would mention the weird dude who tried to pass you. You are humble. I think a huge factor in death on Everest (armchair QB here) is ego, or “I am better than these guys so I can push on when they are turning back” kinda attitude. That and summit fever…. only 500 meters …. I can see the summit…. then oh shit that 500 meters just burned too much oXygen …. dead…. I saw when you were coming down you unclip many times to keep up with your guide. However, I think I would rather take that risk as a strong climber as you had become by that point than the alternative…. getting stuck behind other climbers as the weather turns nasty and your oxygen slowly disappears…. I think your guide knew your ability and pushed down fast knowing you could keep up.. but knowing that () I am assuming) the English dude and his guide were doing the exact same thing…. I saw others climbing up high on the left side of the trail to get past poo butt slow shouldn’t probably be on the mountain folks. I would rather jam down and take some risk than get stuck. I mean how frustrating it would be knowing you have plenty of power and can easily make it down out of the death zone but get stuck and die. But hopefully next time you will consider the risk you took and decide instead of just gung ho ing it !!!! Love you man…. You have a great attitude and are not at all what I thought at first…. a tourist with a lack of skill and experience…. no you proved you are capable, My hats off to you my boy! Im old now but I came up through adolescence in Colorado. We used to have to use a “prescott”. I think it was called to keep your self from going backwards on a fixed rope. I was a knot you had to slide up and tighten. I think …. I remember for sure using it when repelling so right yourself if you were hanging upside down.. anyway…. I had my day on 14ers. but never anything like the things you are doing.
@@JL-nk1pc he had some experience. do you know his history? Or just blurting out something only partially true. Additionally, maybe from the standpoint of before the climb he was done he fit in a category of putting others at risk, but if you watch his videos you will see he never put anyone at risk. I agree, that many people think they are able to pay their way to the top. Look into the kid, you will find he is legit.

2:56 the guys that have died are Mr. Pas Tenji sherpa and his client Mr. Paul Daniel Patterson. they have been in expetidion with a famous polish youtuber Jakub Patecki and their death is mention at the end of the summit attack video. and it wasnt the way that they went this way alone to avoid other climbers, everybody was walking the way they did in every expedition but suddenly it fell when they where on it.
Were they clipped into the fixed line? If so, how did they die?
@@hackman88 Theory I've heard is that they clipped out to pass a line of slow hikers, then the snow collapsed under them
also there is a clip of them falling (rip) in a french youtuber documentary of everest inoxtag good documentary
You were also assigned an excellent Sherman coming down from the summit. He was clipping you in for you and moving you down fast. I remember you saying you thought it was unnecessary but definitely want to get out of the death zone quickly and safe. Kudos to him.
Amazing feat and videos, Ryan. ❤
He definitely was a pro and knew he needed to get them out of there fast, I would want him as my guide is I climbed.
SHERMAN
bro brining a tank to everest
absolutely incredible that they let people with two days of course experience try to begin to tackle the tallest mountains on earth. The way this is done removes all worth of climbing the mountains.
You don’t own the planet
@@The4j1123 but he's correct still :)
@@checkyourself164 if someone with less experience than you climbing a mountain takes away all the worth of climbing the mountain… then you’re probably in it for the wrong reasons anyways
@@The4j1123 "You don't own the planet" neither do inexperienced climbers own the right to risk other people's lives? I'd argue that's far more important than a few idiots missing out on a climb
@@The4j1123they aren’t climbing the mountain 😂 they are being guided by a Sherpa while they walk along a rope line. The fact that someone with 3 hours of climbing experience is even allowed to be near Everest is the reason we still have deaths in the modern age. It removes the worth not because “it’s no longer an impressive feat” but rather because the joy should come from the journey not the destination these people are only climbing Everest to tell others they did it 😕😡
Mount Everest is the one dream that is okay to give up on. Please, and PLEASE don't climb it. My dad was smart enough to stop at base camp but his buddies didn't and one of them ended up falling from 10,000 feet and they found his body 20 years later. That guy had a family and children and even if you don't have children have them one day to carry on a legacy and don't not do that because you had a dream to climb a rock because the benefits of having a family outweigh climbing for your life
it's about the journey and the risks, adrenaline also, and memories, i'm ssurely gonna climb it in fear to live a broing life and have regrets.
And that is why so many people die on Everest,People with little experience putting other people at risk..
Throw a bit of **small** gauge braided steel wire (a couple feet- it only weighs an oz or 2) in your pack, OR rap it around the ice axe handle or trekking pole and duct tape over it. I've had even well fitted crampons pop off and in a critical position that bit of wire can help secure the crampon.
Watched the entire 4.5 hour video of your expedition. It was wonderful. Congratulations for your safe and successful summit.
Bhai kitna nalla hai tu
@@Soham.69for real. Who would watch a 4 hour video!😮
You forgot to mention the biggest cause of deaths, inexperience. The fact that in your main video you were literally learning the most basic skills required AT BASE CAMP days before your climb, you didn't know how to use your crampons (not front pointing on vertical faces), you didn't know how to even hold an ascender/jumar etc. Not bashing you, but YOU are the perfect example of why people die on Everest (not that there's many deaths, its a VERY safe mountain). If a member of your team fell into a crevasse, you'd have zero idea how to rescue them, as you haven't had any training on crevasse rescue for example, there's so many reasons it's a bad idea for people without experience to just jump straight in to the deep end and do Everest just because they can financially. You should really address this.
Dude, shut the hell up. lol
Sorry, but climbing Everest should be outlawed. The mountain is littered with dead bodies and trash piles. Even at the peak, trash everywhere. Truly sad what tourism has done that beautiful place.
No one cares
@@alexking6398shut the hell up 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
@@alexking6398 the locals that respect Everest and regard it as a holy place sure do.
Agree!!!
@@alexking6398exactly. And that’s the problem.
You should be paying Manuel a hefty cut of these videos profit. 100% serious. You were comically unprepared and he saved your life and was willing to risk his to make sure yours made it down. Any profit you made from then on is fully due to him, and he probably didn’t make much more than a regular day pay off it.
Agreed
Anyone willing to climb Everest wouldn't do this, they don't respect the mountain they are selfish 🤷♀️
@@maurartsy2916 I’m glad that you personally know everybody who has ever climbed it so you could provide us with that information
@@maurartsy2916maybe the Sherpa , guides, and porters can unionize.
@maurartsy2916 OP is completely right but what are you basing that on? Even if you think all commercial climbers are evil and all foreign operators are exploitative, that's deeply disrespectful to the thousands of guides and porters who climb Everest multiple times a year. Sherpa communities wrestled with whether climbing mountains was disrespectful back in 1953 and decided it wasn't. Shouldn't we listen to them?
You shouldn’t have been on that mountain. I feel for all the guides who have to lead people there based on wealth, not skill. I can imagine it would be hell scrambling to keep a bunch of rich adrenaline-seeking egoists in one piece. They are literally a danger to everyone else up there, and themselves. You’re lucky you’re alive being so criminally underprepared. What a joke. RIP to every Sherpa who gave their life so some tourists could get their fix, post their internet videos, and profit. The Everest experience has ironically never been more expensive and the people seeking it so cheap in ability.
He barely had any problems on Everest. It was other mountains. Watch the video
@@blackironwalterkus3851 The point still stands. Idiot wasn't experienced and decided to go to Everest anyways. He nearly died several times in the damn practice-course for it. There's a reason why there's so many dead bodies on Everest. People like him weren't as lucky.
They dont HAVE to, its their decision
@@BeLustigthat is incredibly short sighted of you. if you grew up and live on those mountains, you have 1 million less opportunities than the average person in a western country.
idk what it’s like in your country, but in mine where there is a tourist destination, the whole area works either directly in it or services those who do. same at everest.
it’s a way for the men of the villages to support their families, even at great risk. it was 100% stupid for this guy to summit everest with practically no experience and put the people who work there in grave danger.
@@melodiclogic9904 ok thats also true, my bad
Yes, they were definitely thinking ‘who brought this kid’ aha - very lucky my friend. Another time and I’m certain things may have not gone as smooth. Being a ‘noob’ in these environments is the prime reason for the number of deaths.
The sherpas have a name. I wish people would give the credit to the nepali sherpas deserve, and stop calling them “my sherpa”. They have names.
100% Agree. They are more than Sherpas- names that mean father, brother, son to many folks,
How do you know they even want their name disclosed? Everyone has family, what’s your point?
Your mechanic has a name, your waiter, lawyer, doctor, mayor, everyone. But lemme guess if youre talking to someone about your doctor or surgeon who helps with your life and health you say "my doctor". Yeah they're people, and you can appreciate what they do but also dont be a hypocrite.
In his other Everest videos he mentions the names of his sherpas.
He was calling the Sherpa by his name? I heard him say it a couple of times
Imagine doing a death climb and forgetting to eat or drink water properly, or check gear beforehand, evolution at its finest lol.
It's comforting knowing that there is a 100% chance that I will never have to overcome these challenges...
Love the videos though. Super interesting!
Same, not gonna trust the elements because it’s always unpredictable. Respect to the people who do this, but I’m not taking any chances climbing
Coward
good luck living a boring life then, regrets are coming later.
@@achrafelh I’m sure you live a pathetic life and hate yourself
The stupidity is mindboggling.
Crazy this guy wanted to do everest when he had only spent 3 hrs hiking before in his life. Ive hiked twelve 14,000 ft mountains. One hike was class 4 and took 18 hrs. And yet i still have no desire to hike everest lol
which did you do?
Which means he has bigger balls then you do 😊
God, these stories are just scary! You were very lucky to have some awesome guides with you. And the gear issue is also pretty scary, but thank goodness nothing bad happened with that and you were able to push through!
Unfortunately if you are inexperienced, you are not only putting your own life in danger, but everyone else’s too. I highly recommend the movie “Everest” based on an actual tragedy that happened not long ago.
Edit: I’m also glad to see that about everyone in these comments feel the same as me. Obviously we’re so grateful he survived, thank goodness, but to put it brutally, it was stupid. He was not prepared and he shouldn’t have gone. 98% of people that go shouldn’t have gone.
I’d also like to say that Everest is so trashed now, it even has a nickname as the “Highest Garbage Dump in the World”. How sad. Something that is so beautiful is littered with trash and bodies. They are too accepting. The number of people who have been on Mount Everest should be in the low hundreds, but instead it’s almost 7,000 *different* people. That’s not counting how many times each person goes.
The kid just survived russian roulette and doesn't quite realize it yet.
My gosh Everest is more crowded than the beach of July 4
Yep, ego is a dangerous thing
It may be missleading coz it looks like there are a lot of peoples summiting everest everyday. Meanwhile Its few hundreds yearly, which about 50% made it to the top. Only few days per year are okay to summit this mountain (they say), so most of these hundreds peoples aim for these days. All of them are just compressed in very narrow weather window.
@@JC_958 so people can't explore the world now? conquer their fears? feel alive? so pathetic you are probably fat watching this vid from your dirty couch.
Well done! Lucky though. Shocked you were on Denali without enough crampon experience to fix a simple problem (like how to properly fit and adjust them). I miss the big mountains. Good on you for taking your shot at a few of them.
From watching you play Minecraft since 2020 to now watching you climbing these mountains is just wild proud of you man
You had only ever been climbing for 3 hours at a time and you decided to train for Everest?
You didn't survive because you made the right decisions. You survived because you're lucky.
Only 1% of people die climbing mt Everest nowadays… it’s just a tourist attraction now. Might as well install a roller coaster from top to bottom and sell popcorn on the way up
You can unnecessarily risk your life a lot of ways, this is one of the least fun and uncool ways I could imagine going.
I loved watching this journey, glad your ok and im excited to see what your content will be after everest
Just watched your 5 hour summit video.
Mad respect.
Been an Everest fan since I read Into Thin Air.
Thanks for bringing me through it all, so now i dont have to.
It's crazy to see a Minecraft youtuber not only go outside, but climb Everest
0:17 Definitely not me. But thanks for the thought. 😅
Haha
I imagine Mount Everest a little like a bunch of parents (sherpas) with their kid on those harness leashes trying to get somewhere but the kid keeps falling over. The fact my mans literally put a leash on you, I’m glad to see my mental image was fairly accurate.
I wonder how much harder it was for the sherpas carrying all of your shit
what? idk maybe i missed it but when did they carry his stuff?
The Sherpas are worth every dollar.... soo much knowledge and experience keeping climbers safe 👏
Being short-roped by a Sherpa isn't something I'd be too proud of admitting. That means that you were so unprepared to climb that you needed to get pulled up and down the mountain by someone else. Yikes.
He’s 19
He is stupid and selfish
dude he's 16 only
All the comments saying how old he is doesn’t matter. I’m glad most everyone in these comments are seeing the problem with this. Not even the most experienced climbers are prepared for what Everest throws at them
@@sujoyd39 so what? He put someone's life at unnecessary risk by needing to be short-roped up & down Everest.
I find it interesting you’ve only interacted with people praising you. But haven’t bothered at all to recognise or respond to the fair criticism you’re receiving. Says a lot about you.
thats literally untrue lol plus most comments that you call "fair criticism" are just bashing him on points that are untrue (hey just like yours lol) so what fo you expect him to do?
What the fuck is that going to do? He already climbed it. He probably won't ever do it again. Okay, let's say he says "sorry," but again, what does that change?? So stupid that people are actually expecting him to say something. I wouldn't either if I was him.
Why would he reply to a bunch of internet nobodies who would never hike a local trail let along climb a mountain. 95% of all the criticism he gets is not from climbers themselves, it’s from people who love the online Everest hate train. There only exposure to this sport is dramatized tragedy videos they watch on TH-cam. But they themselves would never climb a mountain nor do they know what they’re talking about. They just regurgitate what they hear on those tragedy TH-cam videos.
damm that view at 2:01 is mind blowing
One closed up crevice!
Appreciate your honesty and willingness to reflect and learn from your experiences ❤️🙏❤️
I would LOVE to climb Everest some day, but at the same time, think thoroughly about the great danger and mid-high accomplishment rate. I guess the prestige of climbing the world’s tallest peak intrigues us humans enough to wave risks. Congrats! 🎉
I confidently cannot recall the last TH-cam video I had this much anxiety watching. Also somehow never really seen a firsthand experience of the climb or summit of Everest, so every hat I have is off to you, Ryan. And the fact that so many people just stand at the top, let alone attempt to ascent.. Man, y'all are a hell of a lot braver than I am, that's for sure.
Stupidity
Thanks for frank self assessment regarding your skill level issues as you trained and climbed. I’m completely new to this as I did my first alpine climb on mount baker two weeks ago. That is like a kindergarten effort compared to what you do but I learned a lot from that short experience. Even though I’m a triathlete and ultra endurance bike racer, I encountered issues with my heavy pack and walking in deep snow. That was a new level of effort that my body hadn’t seen before. I will modify my training approach to prepare for my next climb.
That is not entirely true. Several climbers have summited Everest without supplemental oxygen -- going back to 1978.
I've been fascinated by mountaineering and climbing the highest peaks for years. One thing that has been consistent for me, is that I am absolutely content to watch others complete these amazing feats. I'm not interested in doing it myself, at all. Haha. Thanks for your content.
Thanks Ryan.Scary stuff. Whew!! Glad you made it.
Seems like you learnt a lot of lessons- and that your mistakes and your preparations are not just yours but a lot of others life is depending on it.
I watched your almost 5hr long summit video and was very impressed indeed, well done Ryan.
Ryan, you're talented. Your productions are top level. The overall delivery is exceptional. I am certain this skill will also translate to other aspects in your life and make you very successful. Good luck!
Thanks for describing these experiences so clearly. Very helpful information. Yes I agree about the importance of checking your gear and making sure you eat and drink enough.
Making a video highlighting the danger of Mount Everest and the fact that so many people die on it yet failing to realize that it is because of people like yourself that brave sherpa die trying to drag up the mountain so you can say you climbed the tallest mountain in the world is crazy.
lol he didnt get draged up mount everest tho so what exactly is your point? his everest climb was without major flaws on his parts
The Sherpa literally offer that service and accept money for it. They literally run the commercial expeditions, they vet their own clients, they don’t have to accept everyone so the people they do take are under their own choosing and judgement. If the Sherpa want to bring an inexperienced person up the mountain for a quick check then that’s on them, but they do not have to.
Thanks for sharing YOUR scary moments, Ryan -- I always learn something from your videos!
How you can be so unprepared to climb such mountains, is truly beyond me. Like do you take anything serious in life?
People just want to say oh yeah I climbed it! 😌☝️
Fucking stupid
Why take it so serious? We all die in the end, some don't want to die falling over in a Walmart parking lot
@@user-wc5lw7ps6h1 Just because something does not last forever does not mean it has no value.
Sorry you feel this way about your life.
@user-wc5lw7ps6h1
What if you were attached to his guideline? Got dragged down with a self described “idiot noob”
@@DoltonIregardless, his point is more legit than yours. We all do die one day, and though I do agree as a mountaineer that what this kid did was stupid, you have one life. What business of yours is it to tell others how they live it?
I am not a climber, not even a hiker but I cannot understand how one can make such decisions.
Like Climbing a mountain without having eaten or drink,
Or saying "Aahh its fine" , when a GUIDE tells you, your crampons dont look secure...
Of course there are many things, but those seem like the most obvios!! How?
It's just embarrassing the lack of experience, the risk you put the sherpa in... It's fine but you know one of your parents paid for all this just so you could tell the stories online, and all we've learnt as an audience is that we should not take any inspiration or advice from you 😂
He has a minecraft channel with millions of subs his parents didn’t pay for it

Thank you for sharing these moments and the lessons you learned from them.
The guy in the pink suit from 3:38 made his own documentary on yt. His name is Patecki
Glad you’re home safe and btw face looks great! healed well from that major wind/sun damage. I was as worried about skin cancer as I was about you falling off Everest lol
Crazy how 71 years ago the first person reached the summit... some of the most professional climbers in the world died trying to be first. Now the climb is like Disney land, expensive AF and anyone with money can go.
Yeah you get all your info from TH-cam videos and it shows. 130 kilometers round trip (65 kilometers uphill) is something most people cannot walk including yourself, even if someone else carried all your gear. You know you couldn’t even do 10 miles in a day with no pack, so don’t even get in the comment section regurgitating online bs like anyone with money can climb Everest. When facts are more people submitted your mom’s ovaries than Everest in the last year. Go take a hike
You took us on an amazing journey Ryan. So glad you're back home safe and sound. Hope we see more vids from you.❤
You do a great job telling your story, lots of knowledge you've learned and now I've learned. 👍❤
So many comments hating on him and calling him dumb, as if he didn’t literally admit it in the video lmao. He admits his mistakes and encourages others not to make the same ones. Yes he’s lucky to be alive, and he knows it, no need to give him hate for it
Well said, Ryan. You are an excellent communicator at a young age. I am especially impressed with your ability to clarify the many insights you have gathered in real time. So much is lost on those who are not actually "in the moment" for a variety of individualized reasons. I am inspired by your accomplishments and will surely ask my sons to watch your channel. Btw, God is real, but few secrets are revealed because we have to perform without certainty in order to be judged. Thank you!
Thanks for all your content. I've been following your progress since I heard your first interview with Alan, and I was very impressed with the maturity it takes to listen when someone tells you to wait, especially at 18 or 19 (I don't mean that in a patronizing way, I'm barely older than you). It was awesome getting to see your progression. Huge congratulations, not just on the Everest summit but on everything that led up to it. I was very excited to hear in your recent interview that you're going to keep climbing. My friends and I are rooting for you! And LOL ignore the randos who don't know how fast your time was or how hard you worked for this.
there"s a polish youtuber "patecwariatec" who climbed Everest on the same day as you :)) his pink coat is even visible on your videos! I higly recommend watching his series, he also knew the people who died and who you mentioned. so happy to see that someone were there the same day as him!
You are doing such a great job creating these videos. You have a way of putting things in order and explaining everything very understandably. I think you should continue climbing other mountains as well, not necessarily THE BIG ones. Cheers from Greece!
Admirable how you trudged through some of these daunting challenges to make one of the best documented climbs ever made of Mt. Everest.
In documenting this experience you have not only shared what Mt. Everest climb looks and feels like, but have also inspired so many along the way.
*Be strong and courageous, for HE goes with you.*
And shown too what a risk you take and how important it's to prepare but that it's still very dangerous.
AMAZING VIEWS BRO! GLAD YOU MADE IT
I hope you gave your guides a massive tip! They risk their lives every day to keep you in one piece!
I was cheering you on every day! I sent your videos to everyone and I even made my father to watch them LOL Well done love again!
It's crazy! people this unprepared and naive climb everest, risking the sherpas live and then upload a video about it instead of beeing ashamed
what? he didnt climb everest unprepared tho? all of the major mistakes cused by lack of preperation were made on different mountains? if you are going to critic him at least do so properly
Ignore the negativity and hate keep doing what you do!
Awesome video man. Congrats on all of your achievements!
Congratulations, on your expeditions.Not easy,for anyone.💛
Awesome job, man. We all make mistakes, but we learn from them. A few years back I almost slid off Baker because I put my crampons on the wrong feet and one popped off. Last year I picked up bad AS on Illinza because I thought I was too tough for diamox (stupid for a 47 year old). Lessons learned
Very nice. Ryan's a natural teacher. I learned so much and have been watching Everest videos for about 3 years.
you mean how you dont prepare yourself?
@@sololo312 no, it's the first time the actual route in context has been clearly shown.
Thank you Ryan, your videos provide the details and answer questions I want to know about. You’ve got the best video footage and can tell a wonderful story.
It looks unreal up there, looking way down to clouds. SO sick looking near the top footpath across a 10,000 foot drop, too much for me but congrats!
I wish you had more vids like your documentation of Everest, it was amazing. The voiceover, the images, the mix of talking in the moment. Just awesome
If those 2 climbers you spoke about at 2:53 weren't dead after falling, they certainly were after the guy knocked the cornice on them.
Well done Ryan congrats on your successful summit, i like your honesty too.
That guy at 20:19 was so chill, with those shoes. Now thats Aura.
You’re such a humble badass, dude! Learned a ton from your videos and just want to say thank you! I’ll never climb Everest, but this is the next best thing. May God keep you safe and healthy on all your future climbs and journeys.
I've seen this guy somewhere else. He's a famous singer. Impressive that he summits mountains too. Grats dude you talented
2:35 now I noticed that the one in the pink outfit is a Polish TH-camr who also climbed Mout Everest, his name is PatecWariatec
just finished Into thin Air and now loving your videos! Congrats on your climbs. Did Cotopaxi a couple years back and hope to try Chimborazo next year... with proper breakfast hopefully!
Dude, you are the man!!!! An old soul. I was hoping you would mention the weird dude who tried to pass you. You are humble. I think a huge factor in death on Everest (armchair QB here) is ego, or “I am better than these guys so I can push on when they are turning back” kinda attitude. That and summit fever…. only 500 meters …. I can see the summit…. then oh shit that 500 meters just burned too much oXygen …. dead…. I saw when you were coming down you unclip many times to keep up with your guide. However, I think I would rather take that risk as a strong climber as you had become by that point than the alternative…. getting stuck behind other climbers as the weather turns nasty and your oxygen slowly disappears…. I think your guide knew your ability and pushed down fast knowing you could keep up.. but knowing that () I am assuming) the English dude and his guide were doing the exact same thing…. I saw others climbing up high on the left side of the trail to get past poo butt slow shouldn’t probably be on the mountain folks. I would rather jam down and take some risk than get stuck. I mean how frustrating it would be knowing you have plenty of power and can easily make it down out of the death zone but get stuck and die. But hopefully next time you will consider the risk you took and decide instead of just gung ho ing it !!!! Love you man…. You have a great attitude and are not at all what I thought at first…. a tourist with a lack of skill and experience…. no you proved you are capable, My hats off to you my boy! Im old now but I came up through adolescence in Colorado. We used to have to use a “prescott”. I think it was called to keep your self from going backwards on a fixed rope. I was a knot you had to slide up and tighten. I think …. I remember for sure using it when repelling so right yourself if you were hanging upside down.. anyway…. I had my day on 14ers. but never anything like the things you are doing.
Humble yet climbs Everest with no experience putting other people's lives at risk. The opposite of humble.
@@JL-nk1pc he had some experience. do you know his history? Or just blurting out something only partially true. Additionally, maybe from the standpoint of before the climb he was done he fit in a category of putting others at risk, but if you watch his videos you will see he never put anyone at risk. I agree, that many people think they are able to pay their way to the top. Look into the kid, you will find he is legit.
Thanks for making these videos. Great vlog!
Ryan, I'm so glad you are okay! Keep learning, keep trekking, and keep staying safe! I Love, love, love your videos! ❤ I have never been able to experience the real climb and visualize the real terrain until you brought this to light in your outstanding and unique videos. I am so glad I found them quite by accident. Godspeed to you dear friend and please stay safe always! Love to you and everyone you hold dear! ❤
Well done, you are an impressive, brave, young man.
So honest. Great insights, really enjoyed watching
Watching this video now I can say you're very lucky to have climbed Everest because you're young and your body could handle it. I thought you were more experienced at first
All of the Everest videos I've watched... it's got to be in the hundreds... and this is the first time I've heard the word "Cornice"!? 😅😅😅 Glad you made it back safe. 🤘🏼
Why does that word make you laugh?
