EVERESTING MOUNT EVEREST

- The concept of attempting an Everesting upon the newly sealed roads of Everest itself seemed completely crazy, especially considering the brutal headwinds, fiercely cold temperatures, and high altitude we'd be facing.
Oddly, that's where both the adventure, and the appeal lay for our riders.
Join us as we take you on our incredible journey through Tibet to Everest Base Camp, made possible in partnership with Specialized Bicycles, Gore Bike Wear, and and Serk Cycling.
See the all the amazing photos, scenery, and read more about what went on behind the scenes here: cyclingtips.co...
Very impressive. I trekked all over that area when I was younger. I bumped into two Italians on road bikes. Father and son, they had decided to ride from Milan to Hong Kong. They had got to Darjeeling! But that means they had acclimatised for three weeks ...... which is what you need!
Landscape looks stunning.
Tibetan here, but never stepped inside of Tibet. One day I will go back. Beautiful video btw. Om Mani Padme Hum.
What a challenge though!!! Congrats on taking on the challenge itself
One of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Very inspirational. I thought Mt Evans was tough enough (4365 metres).
Fantastic effort! Failing together is better than failing alone. So well said
inspirational and mesmerising video. thank you for sharing the beauty and the honesty of your journey
Would be great if you guys posted your final stats for the day. Meters climbed, power numbers, kilometers..thanks!
No surprise to me that this wasn’t completed - no offence but you need to respect the altitude more...
By far the best video I have ever seen! Amazing effort chapeau guys 👍🏻🤘
This video hasn't got enough views! Great cinematography, story and edit!!!
Such an awesome adventure guys. It doesn't matter that you didn't get to 8848m as Everesting is a very personal challenge and for each of you every vertical metre should be a victory. You have the option to go back, the mountain isn't going anywhere.
So good, just so good. I want more...thank you for this.
Great film. A dream adventure
Great idea, but acclimate first! Any amount of research would have told you how dangerous this was!
amazing! thanks so much!
Great video, really enjoying everything CyclingTips is producing. Any chance of a track listing of the music featured in the video?
this video deserves more
Great work!! keep content coming
Glad that you were doing this on the tarmac SL6
Amazing guys. Well done!
Awesome , I have trekked Nepal , keen cyclist , experienced altitude sickness , acclimatisation is the failure not the everesting challenge .
Amazing. Thank you.
Awesome video guys .. love it.. altitude and cold could have been dangerous.. i saw one guy rushed to hospital while hiking in LAdakh , lack of oxygen and sort
This was a great video, the worst part however is that you guys actually went out of your way to collaborate with specialized to make this video. Couldn’t have picked a worse company to associate with lol.
Inspirational and entertaining video and will add this to my bucket list. What is the soundtrack at 18min?
So very good!!!
altitude is no joke.........
How many metres of elevation did each of them complete?
Is this song in Tibetan?
Awesome
There's missing info for this video. Is the route you took the same as the JJ Zhou, who just became the first person to do it? He said there was a 50m difference in height of a 1.2km route, so that's 177 laps = 212.4km at 5000m above sea level. Took him 40h total, 26h on the bike.
It was the same route and the same support crew from Serk Cycling. You can see our video of the successful attempt this August here - th-cam.com/video/lKdgB5Ee3qo/w-d-xo.html&lc=z23ouztaxviivhoay04t1aokgxqkmmohbe0w51clj4qjrk0h00410
Come to Socal, you'll do it in no time!
The Music is from? at 16:46
OK, this is very cool, but where is Specialized China?
Jaw dropped.
OMG, what can I say, what can I see
PLEASE NOTE there would be much STRONG GUSTY WINDS IN HIMALAYAS. I couldn't even. stand it up. How could u cycling facing those strong winds? by cycling in the van?
Colombia or Mexico for a month. then, a month in tibet, then, tackle it.
U couldn't even move or walk when u facing gusting winds in Himalayas. winds can tear ur mouth apart. and also the altitude sickness: the elevation of whole journey roughly 16,000 ft. u can't even do heavy works in these altitude. how could u cycling?
For what it's worth my altitude breathing tip is Exhale completely every breath as in a yoga breathing exercise so as to be able to fill lungs 100%
This will sound strange but I've learned to pause after breathing in and breathing out each time. Letting the oxygen to be adsorbed better in a sense. I've noticed a 10-15% increase in power/ease/speed doing this.
Colombians be like : n00bs
But yeah, definitely altitude is no joke, for sure it would be advisable to look into Colombian cycling.
You didnt fail. You tried
Should be a pro race
The dreaded khumbu cough will visit you.
Where are all the oppressed tibetens according to dalai lama, It's not the same as I expected
There's no failure here. You've achieved more than most of us can hope to on a bike.
Did you set all the records on Strava in Tibet ;)
Probably one of the best cycling videos I've ever watched. Just so inspirational. No way can you ever fail when you've ridden your bikes on Everest. 🙏🤟
High quality. Testing human limits. Raw and beautiful.
did it before they sealed the road...in 2000, with fully loaded mountain bikes...awesome.
Michael Edwards why did they seal it ?
Well done, epic ride!!!!
@@finnmvp50 I think he means paved.
oxygen sats of 64% ain't no joke! good grief
I have driven up that pass. Like Matilda I puked after having gone back down. What hit me was a double whammy of a vicious diarrhea bug that my wife had during the train trip there, (not fun), and altitude sickness. The head pounding was out of this world. Anyway. Nope I would never even attempt to ride it.
Great video.
This makes me want to visit Tibet by bicycle, and really confirms that I have little interest in "Everesting".
I think if guys were elite cyclists. They would not as much problem as you guys did plus you cant go there in 2 days and think you would not get Altitude sickness . You would have to be there for weeks to be able to complete that attempt. Why do think it takes so long for mountaineers to climb Mt Everest. You have to respect the Mountain .
If she was able to ride at such altitude without being acclimatized, she has a lot talent for mountaineering. Maybe try climbing everest next time
Everesting is a Verb. Or a Gerund (a verb functioning as a noun)
Incredible video! Definitely inspirational
Broke a bunch of rules to going up in altitude and you consulted a bunch of experts? You're lucky to not end up with HAPE/HACE...
Doctor here. If your oxygen saturation is less than 88% get yourself some oxygen (mask, nasal cannula, tank). He could have died WTH.
Thanks for sharing this very valuable experience. 👍
Watching this remembering riding that route in 2014, so many memories
Gore - great brand
absolutely amazing. There is no failure guys. Surviving that altitude is a big success.
Stunning. Rode here with Shannon & www.serk.cc last year but completely in awe of what you achieved.
My journey to Base Camp was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Thanks for sharing.
Great story guys (and gal). Much courage & Beautiful sights...
Proud to say I've been there. That restaurant you stopped in was the roadhouse I spent the night at. I'm impressed you rode from Lhasa to the Base Camp Village. It took me 10 days by car.
Fantastic to make the effort ..to witness the voice of the mountains.. Me and my son on on the PJAMM list.. he at 12 yrs old has climbed back to back days of Pikes Peak and Mt Evans.. so perhaps the same vertical climb...it certainly was very challenging. as a Dad I was worried about him.. in retrospect he climbed faster than me..each of us with just two small 1 " stops to regain balance.. and fluids.. the Everest challenge is on our list as well. now that I see the roads..I think we can accomplish this..
That was a riveting watch! Respect to each of you for attempting such a mind-blowing challenge. Made me realise how elemental that beautiful place is. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Beautifully shot as usual.
That's so cool! Amazing scenery and effort. On the bad side, I can only imagine the amount of creaking to the unannounciated population and fauna with all these SPZ bikes.
Attitude and cold can really mess you up. Having experienced it to a lesser degree here in the states really helped me appreciate what you went through. And yes, this was no failure, but a big win for experiencing life and the human condition. Congratulations!
Now imagine how hard it would be if you ride up to the actual height of everest (if there where a road)... Completely impossible without oxygen I guess.
Tough Task. You did not complete it ,but I bet you learnt a lot. Nice try, and have another crack with knowledge gained.
Blew my Mind, Awesome! #TheCyclist
Maybe they would had a chance by riding uphill together instead. Keep the mind occupied
Great video, something else I want to do but will probably never get around to it.
Ahhh, it's so special.... No u can do that, ahhhhh... 🤦🏻♂️
Great story, great video, top performance. Very inspiring!
Thanks for sharing - I could feel the Coldness...
That is quite the inspiring story
Love this channel !
You guys are awesome, no failure there at all
What was the opening music?
Awesome vid guys
you. all. can. do. it.
Does anyone know what month that was in?
absolutely amazing .
Great effort!👍🏻💪🏻👏🏻👊🏻
Awesome
That Matilda woman makes the boys look like weaklings, but amazing video all around, I really like it
so they all failed? why post it
What a disappointment for you, eh?
Life is mostly failure, bud. And that’s OK.
