Just finished your book it was AMAZING!!!! I devoured it and was fascinated by the whole concept so I came to TH-cam to find anything I could about this mountain! So excited to see you in person! Wow!!
Am in the middle of reading your brilliant book Amy..your descriptions are brilliant. Been watching videos of mou tain climbing since starting it even though it's something I would never do..brilliant book brilliant story!! From Lesley in cummertrees, Scotland.
Congratulations! I started reading Breathless. Just like you I have discovered walking after heartache. And it has done wonders for me. Can you please share costs and training process of doing something like this? I’m planing to start climbing soon. I’ll start with Mt. Elbert in Colorado. I hope to see new material from you soon! I also hope that you have found happiness!
That 'Freeze Dried Porridge with Strawberry' at 6:04 contains about 450 calories (kcal). And at 6:07 we see that the 'Chocolate Flavor Creme' has 444 kcal. On an expedition where you are burning maybe 4500 calories a day you would need to eat at least ten of these each day. So why do climbers feel like their energy is diminishing? They are eating at least ten of these packages each day aren't they?
To be honest, I found it almost impossible to keep food down at the higher camps. Definitely not eating ten packages of freeze dried food a day - maybe not even one! I managed by eating plenty at base camp, then I was subsisting on nuts and energy gels during the climb itself (and plenty of water/tea with electrolytes).
It definitely wasn’t easy - it’s by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done :) but I could only film when I was feeling good and ultimately I had the best time on the mountain.
Hi Amy. Thanks for sharing your film. A question: I hear a lot about the fore summit and the actual summit on Manaslu. I coul'd not realy see wich one you did. If it was the actual, can you tell me what you thought about those last meters? Tough, difficult, scary? And how long that final bit took you? THANKS 🙂
Never hurts to practice skills and training on the mountain - a good use of acclimatisation time and waiting for a weather window. You see it with highly experienced climbers on Everest and K2 as well.
Hello, well done! What was approximately the percentage of people not using ox? And did you have to wait in the line often at this period of the year? Thank you and congratulations again!
Hello Leo, I was on 26.September 2019 on Manaslu Summit without additional Oxygen. I guess it was less than 5% that didn't use extra oxygen. The people with oxygen were faster and came all down as we arrived the summit. So we have had the summit allone for us. It was a very peaceful mood on the Top.
@@leonarm4613 We have had two acclimatization sessions befor the summit attempt. One to 6200m and one to 6800m with sleeping in the camps. We start at 1 o clock in the morning from Camp 4 (7450m) and reached the summit at 10:30.
a bit of a worry that they are training people on how to use crampons and ice axes on a 8,000M peak ... i would hope that anyone on something like that has already had experience with high altitude and mixed climbing.
Yes, the majority of us had plenty of experience but there’s never a harm in practicing skills on the mountain while acclimatising and waiting for a window. Also it’s a chance for the team to spot weaknesses (which happened when one client wasn’t honest about his prior experience)
@@AmyMcCulloch that's good then, I always worry when I see people learning how to put on crampons when they are about to climb an 8000m peak... That should never happen..
Hi there! Climbing Manaslu on an expedition like this requires a harness, clipping into fixed lines, using an ascender/jumar, ice axe and crampons - similar to Everest. If you're not on the fixing team, then you don't need to carry your own rope. I wasn't able to film much of the climbing as I was too busy focusing on getting the job done. More information on what is required to cover Manaslu is available on the Elite Himalayan Adventures website. Hope that helps!
No place I would rather NOT be --on a crowded Himalayan peak with a bunch of non mountaineers who paid a ton of money to have everything done for them to put them somewhere they really don't belong.
After reading your great book, I searched TH-cam for several summit expedition videos, and finally I found you again 😄
Reading your book right now, so I wanted to see an expedition to Manaslu and I found you again :D well done
Just finished your book it was AMAZING!!!! I devoured it and was fascinated by the whole concept so I came to TH-cam to find anything I could about this mountain! So excited to see you in person! Wow!!
Wow. Stephi and Nims were there too, awesome! Congratulations!
Huge congratulations! Also, I love how you left all the goofy things in, it felt really honest that way. Wish you to get a little higher every time.
Wow you made it. I from samagaun and I am happy that you have made so beautiful vlog. Keep going and may god bless you. Hope you will visit it again.

Nice video of your adventure and impressive achievement. Do not like your music but then again I'm old. Thanks for sharing this.
Came to TH-cam to figure out how to pronounce “Manaslu” and ended up finding the author of the book I’m reading!
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 What an adventure!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Hi nice to see you there. Umm I'm also summit manaslu 28 September 2019. Just 1 day after.🤝

Oh my goodness! Just reading your book and came on here to get some visuals. This is amazing 🤩 I didn’t know you did the actual trek. 😅

You made it look so easy

with helicopter and oxygen, much more easier ;)
Here after reading your book!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Did you know how to walk on ladders with crampons, self arrest, using an ascender or using fixed lines prior to this or did you learn it at the trip?
Wow amazing wish i climb manaslu one day ❤️
3:24 is that NIMS DAI?
WoW that was cool .. could you please share the total cost for this ... thanks
Congrats!
How much manaslu expedition costed you?

Doesn't look like the actual summit. I've seen a couple of other videos about this and that most people don't go all the way to the actual summit.
Wouldn't someone already have all the training before they attempt an 8000m?

Hi , you only made 2 rotations ? How many days did you usually rest at the BC before the next rotation?
Great video! Congrats on the summit! I hope to get there next year.
hello ikaw ba yung pumunta sa ls ko? kabilog
Nice video. Congrants.
Hello, well done!
What was approximately the percentage of people not using ox?
And did you have to wait in the line often at this period of the year?

That's Amazing take care 🙂
It"s look like easy. No ropes and climbing needs?
