- A 3D fly through of the North Col/North Ridge route on Mt Everest from base camp all the way to the summit, showing the positions off the camps and the high point I reached in 2010. Experience in 9 minutes what takes 60 days on the mountain!
Read about my attempted summit day at:
axeoneverest.co...
I returned in 2012 and managed to reach the summit - you can read about that here:
axeoneverest.co...
I also made a 3D of the more commonly climbed Southeast ridge route in Nepal see below link: • Mt Everest Southeast r...
I’ve recently been watching mountaineering disaster videos and documentaries and I can’t tell you how happy I am that even though you got to 8300 meters you knew your limit and turned around. So many lives were lost due to Summit Fever and I’m over the moon that you weren’t one of them. You had the sense and mental fortitude to turn back and reach your goal a year later. Summiting is optional, getting down alive is mandatory. So so happy. ♥️
And can you believe that one of the major expedition companies now does this in 32 days?
And I love the inclusion of Lisa Gerard & Hans Zimmer’s “Now We Are Free” as the North Col approaches.
Thanks! This really made it easy..now I can take climbing Mt Everest off my bucket list.
Me too! What a relief lol
If you play this backwards, the descent is quite safe & quick as well. ⛑
The summit is labeled "half way point." I laughed and was like, nice joke. Then I'm like, oh wait that's right because you have to go back down lol!
Well done on getting into the Death Zone, turning around when you did and getting home safe. Congratulations on an all-round superb effort. And nice vid too btw.
I was feeling very weak and the wind speed was very strong, my fingers were starting to freeze and it was all not very nice so I turned back. I returned this year and reached the summit - you can read more in my blog - the website link attached above.
Fantastic.....
Amazing
How much $ did all that run you??
Takes a brave man or woman to know when to turn around. So glad you were ultimately able to summit, but I am almost more impressed that you were able to turn around.
Brother take me there
My neighbour has a shrine to himself for climbing Mt Everest. He paid $25,000 to a company who planned the trip, cooked his food, carried all his supplies, arranged lines and placed new ones where needed. There were dedicated photography/video sherpas awaiting him at key points. There was a guide to follow him closely during the ascent and a sherpa that carried extra oxygen just for him. Tents were pre-erected at camps. He had very little climbing experience before hand. The photo of him on the summit is 4 feet tall at his house.
He also has a water buffalo stuffed in his house. He paid a hunting lodge in Africa to take him out to shoot one. He accidentally informed me he didn't even have to get out of the Range Rover.
Crap like this doesn't count unless you do it yourself. There's a line between adventurer and tourist.
Well, I assume he is not a sherpa that is biologically adapted to high altirudes and low oxygen levels.
Climbing and summiting Mt. Everest, 800 metres above the death zone, is still an achievement that he should be proud of.
That being said, the majority of Westerners would not be able to achieve this without the aid of the underpaid and often underapriciated Sherpas.
Costs wayyy more than 25k so I call bullshit
@@salvaje20 In the 1990's, dumbchit.
This is the North ridge, not the mainstream South ridge that your neighbour has climbed
Well unless they carry you to the summit, it is still a monumental achievement for a non professional mountaineer. One would naturally be proud.Not in favour of hunting though as that is so unfair .. gun against unarmed animal .. that's pathetic I agree.
You are for sure a very smart and educated climber and a disciplined one too! It is very easy to lose focus up there when you’re so close. All too many times, people who get that close will opt to push for the summit. It takes discipline and the knowledge of ones body to know when is when. Great video and I hope you make it to the top of the world, as climbers like you deserve that moment, and it’ll come if it hasn’t already been accomplished! Good luck and stay safe!
So good to finally understand this visually.
Loving this in 2023. Congrats on getting that high!
Ok been there, and done that. Thanks. Doesn't seem that tough. LOL
wow...I mean you were close! I'm sure the rest of the way was extremely hard to climb, but you looked close to the summit. Thanks for sharing. FULL RESPECT goes to you and your team.
Not really close...the summit is 300 meters higher than his high point....he didn't even make it to the NE ridge, and the Three Steps are no joke. That's a lot of climbing.
Hello Mahamad, It is very tough to walk, climb, breath, even sit and tie your shoe laces at high altitude. It is fantastic to have big dreams, but I would suggest you take small steps on your way to your goal. Gain experience mountaineering and also progressively trekking or climbing to higher altitudes first. There is many commercial teams who you can join up with which you can find on the internet. Good luck and have a wonderful adventure!
absolutely mind boggling! Incredible is the word. Thanks.
Wow! Thanks for that, I feel a bit closer to knowing the journey you & other amazing climbers take!
you can sense your exhilaration at having achieved the 8150m mark and one and the same time your utter crushing disappointment and longing to have gone on to the summit - those 3 steps look very nasty - like sheer rock face covered in ICE - you were FAR from the summit still even though it seems like you were "close" the actual effort required to have made it there would have been tremendous - nice video
It looks quite do-able. Take sandwiches though.
Lol😂
Yeah it is but the problem is lack of oxygen. Your body need to adapt to that altitude . If your body is well suited with that altitude then go and have it on your bucket list.
@@thinkingmad1685 TAKE oxygen? If you wear a vest, sensible footwear and carry enough sandwiches the oxygen will take care of itself.
Hi Jodie, I just saw your channel. With the challenges you face then climbing Everest would seem so difficult I think. You seem very brave and very talented at making video's as well! I wish you all the best Jodie and thanks for dropping by. Axe
"The Half Way Point"...still have to go back down. Incredible...
The nice thing is that at that point, if you happen to have a set of skis, you can make it back down much quicker.
@@gregkosinski2303 With 20-30lbs being about the max you should carry to the actual summit, people don't carry an additional 10lbs of just about anything at that altitude and incline, much less 6' long skis strapped to a backpack. A very small handful of chads have done it though. Hans Kammerlander holds the title currently and that mfer even did it without oxygen which is ludicrous in itself.
Hi there and thanks for the message. One of the songs is from Last of the Mohican's actually. Regards, Axe
awsome - loved the 'mt everest - half way point' :) hopefully will be there 2013 or 14 depending on my money saving skills ;) next week io'm off to anchorage and mckinley!
This route looks less terrifying than going through the icefall on the south side.
I was there this summer 2019...and l told myself....SOMEPLACE there must be a G0D..........or supreme Love
Hi Ricky - well done on getting to Camp 3 also! I really struggled in 2011 as got sick with HAPE earlier on which I never recovered from all expedition. I went back in 2012 and reached the summit on the morning of 19 May. Good luck for your return and thanks for the comments!
Nub i summit lhotse 3 time
Amazing Video - I really love to follow all the way through.
Thank you for posting this !!
Fantastic animation!!!
Hello Tom - I used google earth to create this flythrough. You can email me or contact me through my website mentioned at the end of the video to find out more info! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hi Steve, thanks for the nice comment!
It i expensive to climb Everest by any means. Think in the order of US$40- 80,000 dollars depending so much on which route, and what style you climb in. Its easy go start climbing. Go find a mountain and start heading up it! You can only learn by trying. Or take an Alpine experience course which are available in many countries around the world. Good luck!
Thanks! music is a personal choice but I like find these songs very appropriate for this particular video :)
Nice idea - a little difficult for me to do this with Google Earth as I was using the fly through option, will play around with your idea for my next video's!
You are for sure a very smart and educated climber and a disciplined one too! It is very easy to lose focus up there when you’re so close. All too many times, people who get that close will opt to push for the summit. It takes discipline and the knowledge of ones body to know when is when.

Even those who have made wise decisions in the past, make mistakes in the future. The past is no guarantee of future psychology.
the music makes me feel like im actually doing the journey!!
Hi Banger, thank you for watching, your nice comments I and glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent music choice.
Love the Last of the Mohicans music.
It’s not that Mt Everest is huge, it’s just humans are so delicate and small. Ants are not that much smaller than humans, yet they are a 100 times stronger. Humanity is very small!
Did you just take a bong hit..??
Man thanks for making this video. I don't want to risk my life simply for climbing a mountain - watching a video of it is all I would do.
The south route simulation is much easier to read. I couldn't read a lot of the markers on this one. I also wish a lot of this was speeded up. Four to five minutes for a video like this is good. Nine minutes is pushing my patience way too much. I ended up skipping through a lot. Just a friendly technical critique. I do appreciate what's been done here.
+Callme Ishmael I agree with you completely! This was the first 3d fly through I made - since this time I have tried to make them faster and shorter with more interesting captions - (see my K2 fly through) - appreciate your comments.
+Callme Ishmael I would also suggest less of the swinging left and right.
+Grant “Axe” Rawlinson what
+Callme Ishmael ...............you can speed up the video by clicking the gear- icon on the lower right of the screen and choose 1.25, 1.5 (no-audio) or 2.0 playback speed.

Sick video! Ive been looking for something this detailed for a while! Thanks!
I like these videos a lot. Didn't care for the perspective swaying back and forth in this one, though.
Hi, this was the first ever three d fly through I made, since then I have learnt and refined the process and don't move the camera around so much, thanks for your feedback anyway.
Thanks for making these! Keep them coming!
That looks easy. I think i can do it.
Rip...
10 hours.
Que largo es el itinerario estar allá es muy diferente el clima, la pendiente,y la temperatura sólo para valientes gracias por mostrasnos la ruta y conocer más de la cima más alta del mundo, saludos de Arequipa, Perú.
Kindly find any music by Brian Eno...🎵
Allow the Mohawks and Cherokee have their OWN music film....
Wow, why is base camp so far from the mountain? I expected it to be at the base of Everest, but it's somewhere near Ipswich.
Hi Edwin - basecamp is at the foot of the mighty Rongbuk Glacier and at the end of the road head. After basecamp you are on the ice of glacier so not a good spot for basecamp and vehicles to access.
Not seeing any glaciers, especially early on, just the ravines left by the glaciers! Also, music, please?
Whoever made that orange line was drunk! LOL!
Bless all you climbers & keep you safe but truth be told I would rather be on a 2,900 ft. Mt by myself than there with all those people
"Grandma!! I did it! Im on the top of the world!!!!!!"
This is one sensational video. A must see for all that love mountains and the "Mother of all Mountains". Everest!
Stay at home
.away from the Everest.
I was a member of cleaning this
Queen.
Beautiful video and music! Congratulations on successfully reaching the summit on your next attempt. I'm glad you returned to give it another try.
Thanks Laksman and all the best for your dream!
brilliant. Just read 'into the Silence' by Wade Davis, and have pictured this route many times in my head. What are the two pieces of music playing? And which motion picture used the first one? Read the above book. You will not be disappointed.
Even with my glasses I couldn't read most of the trail markers. Terrible video quality
I don't wear lasses and I cannot read the route details.
Agree! K2 is one of the most Technical Mountains to climb. Let's not forget Nanga Parbat.
But I do agree that that K2 and everest are different climbs for sure. I was just making the point that, man, everest is still a very hard mountain.
I'm no authority on the topic, but this would seem to be a much safer route if you avoid the Khumbu Icefall. Is that generally true?
I'll be damned if this isn't the fucking musical score from Gladiator.
The music in the first half is the theme of 'The Last of The Mohicans.'
You chose awesome background music...exactly what I would have chosen...wow! Last of the Mohicans
This is great. Any chance you can add a few more features, like Mushroon rock or 'green boots cave' etc
Green boots has been moved and he’s on the South Col route....not this one
The south route looks like it has much more gravel and snow free sections. Has anyone ever gone up one side and down the other?Is it the highest mountain? I have heard that the Andes stick out farther from the earth's center ergo its highest mountain is the actual highest on the planet. Also if you consider the vertical height from base to summit, Mona Loa has the greatest distance from top to bottom.
Great video. Superb music.. Can you share the link of music used in video?
Dumb question. Has anyone went up the south side and down the north side?
The American expedition in 1963 accomplished the first traverse of the mountain, up the west ridge and down the south col route. Tom Hornbein and Willi Unsoeld did it, and the Hornbein Couloir on the north side of the mountain is named after him.
@@starkraving899 Thank you!
Epic music, epic route and epic work to reach last camp!!
Thank you :)
Camp 3 in the dead zone?
Sergeant1990 Nah
Just below. By about 60ish metres. It's pretty extreme height though
North ridge doesn't have a camp 4 if i'm not mistaken. Camp 4 on the southern route is just at 8000m
Chris Whatley south col right...
Damn...I'm out of breath
The first song is the version of "The Gael" recorded for the last of the Mohicans. For another version look up the one by the Hot Violinist on YT.
Where's the Yeti?
2022. Brilliant.
Loved it. Just wish the printing was a bit larger at key points but definitely thumbs up and well done.
This is very cool.
Sorry Rikki - realised I spelt your name wrong up there!
congrats Grant - it's an amazing feat of fitness, endurance, courage and determination. My hats off to you. I'd love to do Everest base camp (and I think I'd seriously be pushing even going that high ASL to be honest), but unless I lose a lot of weight and get very fit, and win lotto, ain't happening.
Didn’t summit, what’s the matter with you? Wimped out and ran home?
Amazing!!
Just WOW!! This is FANTASTIC!! Yes, I had to shout that. I have been absorbing everything Everest for days now and have not gotten a real feel for what these climbers go through to climb (and camp) until watching this video!! Now I can go back and make heads and tails of what they're talking about with references to the different areas, parts, difficulties, altitudes, etc. and understand much, much better. Thanks so very much for this. Any way to do the same video but slow it down some? Especially from camp 4 to the Summit? Also, everyone mentions the heights and hours it takes to climb them, but never in terms of miles. I'd love to know the difference of miles between given points, since sometimes climbers are walking across and not up, its difficult to translate just from feet heights. Again, thanks ~ this is going to make watching these other adventures much, much more interesting!!
I may take a week's vacation and give it a go!
unbelieavable how a human being can climb that mountain, 27k feet plus? i wish i could meet 1 person who climbed Everest. Nice music, i keep coming back to watch it from time to time. it's my favorite!
I met a guy when i studied in nepal named tengrath sherpa, he summited everest in 2004 and he used to tell me what a behemoth of a mountain it is and it feels like being in a different planet at that altitude and it all feels like a dream but a very dangerous dream in which u have to stay awake and mind every step you take, slight slip would send you down the mountaing into the roaring abyss of the long spread himalayas.the main objective was not only reaching the summit but getting the heck down, after the tiring climb to the top and thats when the clock starts to tick lying ahead unpredictable weather, fear of avalanches,your body is shutting down slowly and u see slopes and icefalls u have to traverse through the body criea for help after spending time at the death zone where oxygen is depeleted making your brain go awry. To get down and go back home and recoup your body and the thought of the times that were spent in the mountain inspite of the hardwork it took to finally reach the top and see the curvature earth and the entire himalayas to sudden realization that you are at the top of the world, This feeling will forever be haunting me to see the view that only few people in this world has seen is something else.
Very big mountain
Wow that was great. Thank you
One Day I will see you Everest. Thanks for sharing this great video. It made easier to understand. :)
It seems like that from bingeing to Changeste Base Camp I can ride my dirt bike.
Is the music from the Gladiator soundtrack? Excellent fly through the route - thanks for sharing with those who will never walk that path.
Thank you Lyudmila! I had to translate your comment into English using Google translator!
Imponente, Desafiador, Misterioso, desejado por muitos!
Com Vida Própria.
Seu nome: Monte Everest.
Would love to know the name of the song, artist, and composer of the music that begins at 6:15. It musically matches the beauty of your visuals.
i think i could make it to Camp 1 north col. seems like a casual stroll. lol
If it is like this i can climb it in 12 hours, if i am wrong, can any one tell me
music very nice
Was the swinging back and forth meant to simulate altitude sickness in the viewer?
Agreed, I was getting vertigo just by the weaving alone.
Pretty amazing. I read all about the '96 deaths; they mentioned the southeast ridge route was over crowded and that contributed to the deaths. There were only three expeditions on that day, probably less than 35 people attempting the summit on one day. Now I see pictures with over 200 climbers trying for the top!! WTF is happening to Everest???
Yes Everest is a very enticing challenge to climbers, and the more people who die there seems to attract even more climbers to the mountain. But having said that, more people does not necessarily mean more deaths. In general the deaths are caused by poor decision making (as with what happened to a number of climbers in 1996, 2006 and 2012).
The swaying back and forth of the camera pov is super annoying. Couldn't watch the whole thing.
It was actually 8350m - thanks anyway Billy!
Those step 1 step 2 and 3 very scary...my god
It's wonderful
Whoever is flying this helicopter needs to put down the drinks. You are all over the place.
You could drive a Range Rover up to Crampon Point.
Can't see what all the fuss is about.
For sure, but only if was being towed by a Land Cruiser.
the song is Now We Are Free - Hans Zimmer & Lisa Gerrard from Gladiator Sndtrk
There are two songs here. The first is from Last of the Mohicans (1992). "The Gael" composed by Dougie Maclean. The second, as Kevin says, from Gladiator.
Graham Henderson The first song is actually "Promentory" by Trevor Jones, from Last of the Mohicans.
Isn't the north ridge the more technical of the 2 routes? And are there any other routes to the summit?
Hi John, The North ridge is more technical higher up especially the summit day - it is also winder. There are a number of routes on Mt Everest - most of them rarely climbed as they are very difficult. Check this out for more info: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mount_Everest_Climbing_Routes_1924-1996_photomap-fr.svg
Awesome! Amazing those that climb Everest! Hats off to all the climbers around the world!
