this is one of the most beautiful Everest documentaries I've ever seen. Thankfully no music, just the original sound of silence and peace. Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience.
Guns and Roses...Welcome to the Jungle...Black Sabbath Ironman and endless Metalica 🤟
I absolutely agree. It was phenomenal. I have watched tons of Mt. Everest videos and videos on the other great mountains as well. This video, for many reasons to me, was the best of them all. I will be rewatching this spectacular video many times.
Totally agree with that 👍🏽
So good I felt like I was there with them. Well done all on the great journey, wow stunning. Shame I now have a fear of heights 😂
Absolutely.
Just so generous and humble of you to not show us and talk about your feet and socks and critique of meals, and talking over chants during these team and community experiences. Just brilliant of you. Grateful to you to share a place very few people will ever see.
Every video of Everest expeditions I see scares the heck out of me. Especially when climbers are tackling ice cliffs. I find myself holding my breath in case the constant attacks of crampons cause sheets of ice to calf off the wall. Much respect for those who choose to attempt this! Most humble respect to all of the wonderful Sherpa people who risk and sacrifice so much to make it possible for mere mortals to achieve their dreams. May the children of every Sherpa guide and porter on the mountain gain a wonderful education so they never have to risk their lives on a mountain so some foreign dreamer can achieve something very personal.
Of all the expedition videos I have watched, this one feels most like a good ethnography to me. Deeply personal, vividly depicted and just incredible. I got winded just listening to the efforts expended in trying to just breathe above 8000m! Awesome production - THANK YOU!
By far the best Everest documentary I have seen, no personal dramas and no music - just the jurney, thanks
Best video I've seen of someone summiting everest. Felt like I was with them every step of the way. Well done to the mountaineer who shot this!
now this is the best everest docu i have seen so far. way more organized and calm, clean camps, no powerfights over useless shite, no sociopathic rants, no ropesalad hanging off the mountain, talks about other peaks, including showing them, no psycho lipstick chicks and the landscape overall is way prettyer. thank you Mr. Li-Lan Cheng, you did an outstanding job here. thanks David Snow.
not really...its not been directed.. there's little information or context.. so its different thats all ...its probably been compiled just from bodycams
@@w1lf1ewoo you could be very right about that.
"psycho lipstick chicks",I haven't seen that before.🙆♂️💙
Thank you for making this, and thank you for not adding music. Hearing the wind and footsteps is much more engaging!
This is the first I have ever seen the North side. Amazing and Inspiring.
Like how the whole video was shot. Its like I was transported to the mountain, and all the way to the summit. The first and second step are v dangerous and scary.
YES! Definitely one of the best - with regard to stunning photography, awesome details, and specific information to remember. Congratulations to everyone on this climb. I have to watch it again, and again!
Many thanks David for posting this. An absolutely brilliant capture of summiting Everest and the challenges involved. Have a real life feeling to it and you can get a sense of what it would be like to be up there. Some passages certainly bring the pulse up, blo**y hell!
Best Everest movie I've seen. Huge respect to Li-Lan for capturing this exciting adventure in such a formidable way.
All these mountain climbing videos seem to end at the summit, as if the real work is done and descending is no big deal. It seems to me the glory is reaching the summit and then making it back to basecamp intact. I have read that more deaths and injuries occur on the descent, when climbers are exhausted and all that adrenaline that got them to the top is spent.
You’re absolutely right. I would be interested in the descents from the mountains too, cause thats often more dangerous.
But perhaps of this reason it could be that they don’t film it anymore, cause the camera men are very exhausted too 🤔
or the filmmakers think people are only interested in the „goal“ of reaching the summit, but the real goal is to come home alive
Precisely
I'd like to see more descent videos too, but I definitely think they'd be more disturbing/off-putting. given that you have a much better picture of your surroundings descending a mountain rather than ascending it, im sure a lot more of the bodies of deceased climbers are more readily visible
Çok haklısın
I'm gonna make a travel video to Paris. When I'm halfway there the video will end.
This the best video of a Northside climb of Everest I have seen. Felt like I was actually there!. Great job!
Thank you, David Snow, for sharing. I am loving your channel!
Glad you enjoy it!
I can not stop watching the past couple of days. Thanks for the videos
Congratulations on a great achievement. I like the way you were kind and cheered others to the top of the world.
They are so brave to climb in the dark up vertical cliffs! In total awe it the whole team. Brilliant film. 😊
Great video, thanks for sharing. That 1st ladder at the Second Step remains as mind-boggling as ever. Froze the video a few times and counted at least a dozen different ropes hanging on and around that ladder. I read about many people giving up at the Second Step, just too challenging for some to overcome.
The best Everest film ever . Just felt that we are with you on summit. thank you..
Well done congratulations to the whole team, and of course the sherpa who make this possible. Its refreshing to see respect between the team and the sherpa, some 'climbers' could learn a lot from this. Amazing effort.
Incredible video. You can hear Li-Lan's heartbeat going up the North Col.
16:05 Haa, the gentleman in front is just strolling along without a care in the world. Very nice to see. This is such an excellent video journal, and many thanks for creating it. When you watch a documentary they really don't show footage of this sort. The way documentaries are made always feel so disjointed, and impersonal which really takes away from the real experience.
Again, many thanks for this, I appreciate it.
I consider myself pretty tough, former soldier, combat experience… this is a different kind of tough. Hats off to these Sherpas and porters.
I'm so thankful to you, this is a great video!🌟 There were so many taken my breath away moments! And special thank you for no music, the sound of the wind is so cool =). My sincere congratulations for reaching the summit of Mount Everest! Hello from Russia, Saint-Petersburg👋
The whole landscape’s mind blowing. It’s not a place where I would like to live but certainly worth seeing it once in a lifetime. As well as the Carrizo Plains.
Watched in full, thank you for posting. Thank you to all in this successful Everest video 🏴
Carla Perez is from Ecuador and she summit the k2 without oxygen too ...tremenda mujer Latina
The video is excellent and the footage are so good that at one point I tried to clip my ascender until I realized I was in my living room. Stunning, piece of art considering the location and weather conditions. Now I understand the huge challenge Mallory and Irvine were facing.
wow that’s the content i’m here for. great documenting the climb!
Best team and organization i have seen so far.
That knifes edge when he started to descend and had people ascending and you have to unclip and clip to pass scared me. Terrified me actually. Also the time spent stopping to congratulate people is very selfless. I'd be like sorry I'll congratulate at BC, can't stop to chat now.
That traverse on the descent! Looks terrifying. 54:40 Thanks for taking me up there! Watching from 57 metres currently!
These GoPro cam ones are the best. The breathing, the coughing!...International bro/hood.
Yes they are!
This was a really good video , enjoyed very much. Congratulations to this summit team and thank you to the videographer 😊
They are professional climbers.
I had been led to believe that the north side of Everest, because it is more difficult to climb, did not suffer from the overcrowding that causes serious delays and problems on the Nepalese side. Obviously that is no longer the case.
Is only the middle to final stretch that is most difficult, the path to middle seems not as challenging.
I just got finished watching the climb and was a really good video of there summit , I'm happy for them, I still get amazed by the amount of fixed ropes left behind, I'm sure that I would clip on the wrong rope , just from being tired and lack of paying attention at that height
As someone who has never really climbed before, this comment scared the absolute hell out of me. Never considered that!
Oh gee I thought you could clip onto any of them. But you wouldn't want to pick an old one. Shows I know nothing of climbing.
Great find this, some of the bts footage such as the debriefs was insightful. The excellent camera angles really show the gradient along some of the majestic ridges. Thanks as always.
Glad you enjoyed it
I’d break my ankle just getting to that bathroom.
🤣🤣
U need a Sherpa to use the bathroom mate
David Snow! Thank you for this one. The most vivid and nail biting I have seen so far. The footage is exhilarating and keeps us on our toes as the climbers soldier on. So detailed is the scenery, one might seriously think they are on the mountain together with the stars of the show...lol!! My AC being on full blast for a moment had me believe I was in the thick of it with these brave souls!! It felt so real that at some point I nearly slipped off my chair as I tried to avoid falling over an edge at some point in the imagined climb of my life. All this at the comfort of my bedroom work desk. Man, it really got real for me in several scenes!!! I had to shut my AC off to avoid frostbite.... wow... amazing stuff this footage.
I remember once reading that the summit of Everest was the size of a pool table. I guess they were referring to the absolute highest point. This would only allow two people to stand side by side but if I done all that to the top of Everest I'd sure as hell want to stand on that 'pool table' 😂
Congratulations brothers, finally on top of the world feel like you carried us with you to dream imaginerie world.
Never really thought about the dead bodies even though I’ve watched a lot of Everest videos which at one point in them they talk about them and I’m interested in the stories but the first few dead bodies in this video seeing them was eye opening onto just how dangerous this place is I think because there was no narration over it and it was just all climbing noises and scenes it just made it really intense
Great documentary. congratulation to all who are still Alive and made it up and down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your expedition, on the North Face, of Everest.Very challenging, and dangerous.💛
Far and wide the best video of a climb I have seen!
Claps to you all. Thank you for sharing!
26:00 enjoying a last smoke at 6800m
baller.😀
haha true
Thank you for sharing! This is the route I’m more familiar with after the Discovery channel series. Haven’t seen it in a while since most ascent videos are from the Nepal side. This route definitely seems more challenging past camp 2 given how exposed and rocky it is (and I believe climbers spend more time above 8000m given the gradual ascent from north camp 3 vs the south route from camp 4). The impact on the route up to the north col from the earthquake shows what it must have been like for them the previous year. Having ABC as a good acclimatisation base and ascending up to north col for acclimatisation and back down before the final push seems (to me) to be less risky for the final push than the Khumbu ice fall and the hot western cwm up and down to the Nepal EBC and back up again. I do wonder why there’s no ABC on the Nepal side above the Khumbu ice fall to reduce the risks of traversing that constantly. (I believe ABC on the north side is the same elevation as camp 2 on the south and a lot easier to get back to base camp with no icefall between ABC and BC). The Nepal side definitely has a far more interesting hike to EBC vs bus from Lhasa (and less visa issues).
I love the mountains, hiking and climbing - but at home in the Bavarian/Austrian Alps, thats enough for me 😅
I leave the big mountains to others and just watch documentaries about them.
Congratulations! It felt like I was there with you. Great filming job. Congratulations to the whole team.
Wonderful documentary bless all and stay safe x
Well organized and great teamwork. Wonderful video with great detail as if I was with them.
Beautiful climb 🧗♂️ !! Lucky guys got such good weather window.... Cheers 🥂 team and thanks David Snow for sharing....
Amazing. What a beautiful adventure.
Very good explanation and much better there is no music.
They were forced to wait on side of Everest near summit in the death zone because of traffic jam. Why don't they limit the number of climbers per day that can summit to insure mitigate traffic jam problem? How many climbers who have died were forced to wait at least 1 he at some point on their fatal day. They might die on way down because total climb was extended and the wait led to dieing later in the day.

Thank you for sharing this with us❤
Fantastic video.. Thankyou. loads of details never usually seen,.,. :D
Thank you so much for sharing this awesome video! It was if I were on this great expedition with all of them. I appreciated to see the north route, which is more uncommon for me.
And my congrats to all of the mountaineers for the summit that day!
Great memories, thank you for sharing
I enjoyed your film. Thank you for posting.
I really enjoy this video and especially with the lack of music !.....Best part is when the dude says; 'Ding-dang, one step forward because we're standing on a crevasse' ! 😂😂😂....like 'Dude , if you don't speed up, we're both history !"
Wow. Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing. I have read a couple comments how everest brings people together of different countries. I think that is amazing. Maybe you could suggest for the base camp a snooker table so you have some activities to keep people busy while they acclimate to the altitude. Haha. Wouldnt that be something? Thank you again. Great video. From Ohio, U.S.A.
That 250m walk to the bathroom reminds me of that scene from the Hateful Eight!
best youtube everest video ever
Thank you I think you are the best at this photography amazing details and information,all coming together to tell a great story and achievement thank you for this .👋👋
wonderful video ..such clarity..thanks
Wow my friend! Congratulations on your summit success! Your video is spectacular and thank you for sharing. The ladder climbs had me in suspense on how dangerous it is. Best of luck and happy holidays!
Awesome video and great to see from the north side.
👍 Great, great docummention. Thanks a a lot. And huge respect - from Germany. 👍
Great film! Love the style! Sherpas ROCK!
Question : when you reach summit from North side do you also meet people coming from South side ? Never saw any video talking about it
did you see the video? :D people were coming from the south side...
The route taken by none other than Mallory and Irvine!!!!!
@@freddyrassinger8198 Some say yes, some say no. If you go on Odells sighting then the were on the ridge. I know in what I've read and interviews I have seen I do believe that they did summit and was caught descending at night. I believe they made it to the top bypassing the second step. Some people argue and say they took the second step.
I agree, based on Odell's very specific sightings it appears Mallory and Irvine traversed to the right of the Second Step and could have reached the summit. Based on where Mallory's body was eventually found it lends to the theory that he descended and fell to his death along the same very steep route. Without ladders at the Second and Third step that route would have been extremely challenging. This discussion has always been very intriguing and I remain hopeful that some day we will all know. Thank you again David, for keeping our interest and our brain cells working hard.
@@alveyjohn Well what I was saying if you read everything ever written on the subject of how likely Mallory and Irvine made the summit it points to a late Summit and dark on descent. They had the watch examined by a watch expert who is a expert on the very watch Mallory was wearing. Mallory watch was a gift from the Mount Everest committee. The watch was carefully taken apart and it actually started to work, it had stopped ticking when pressure from inside of Mallory pants, the fall had caused the hour hand to bend. Anyway it was concluded that the watch stopped at 127am and Most likely Mallory died at about that time. The camera may not be able to be found but if they can find Irvine then he may have summit rocks in his pant pocket that has zipper. Also when the Chinese spotted Irvine they said his face was black and he was gritting his teeth from exposure. I believe Mallory fell and Sandy was terrified to try and descend in the dark and died of exposure. It's certainly fascinating, there's alot more that supports a summit but to much to type.
@@Bella.216 Thank you my friend for that very interesting information. I as many others feel that even if the camera was ever found its film would be too old to discern anything from it. Yes, I agree that any descent at night by either Mallory or Sandy along that route would be very challenging indeed, based on the weather conditions. Thank you for that info.
@@freddyrassinger8198 - It would be fantastic, almost miraculous, if the camera were found but it will have almost certainly been blown / earthquaked downhill and shredded in the ice river.
Great work. Thanks for sharing it with us 🙂
31:30 just curious, typically how long do ropes go before they are secured? It seems like there are a lot of people just pulling the rope to climb doesn't that effect people climbing behind you?
That was an amazing log and amazing climb, congratulations to the whole team. I can't help but find it a bit hilarious that even the highest point of Earth isn't able to escape photo queue.
Damn bruh! You are really rollin' with these videos lately! Love it! I hope you don't mind if we link you and shout you out on First Question Podcast? Two of us cohosts have been using your content as a portion of our reasearch for our 96 Everest Disaster story.
Thank you for the video.
Wonderful video!! Descending from the summit is extremely dangerous I guess... so scary but so beautiful... your guys are so lucky to achieve this heights... next K2... 🤯🤯🤯 good luck!!
I had to smile to myself seeing the Sherpa having a few quick pulls on his cigarette.They are the real stars of getting people to the top and back.If there was no Sherpa's, there would be triple the deaths every year on Everest.On another documentary a sherpa is seeing carrying Mark Ingles down the mountain,taking the full weight of him with a rope around his forehead.Absolute beast.
Best channel
How is it that certain individuals can handle the altitude without supplemental oxygen? What is it about them physiologically that is different from others? Ed Viesturs is a good example - all 8,000ers with no O2.
The genetic lottery certainly plays a roll in how well an individual handles these harsh conditions. Though, even the most genetically lucky individuals on the planet won't survive more than a couple days in the death zone; especially without supplemental oxygen.
Mesner showed him it was possible
Amazing footage, the risk of death at that altitude is so high so it must have been hard to film and also keep the cameras operating in the low temperatures.
Had a greater risk of dying in a car crash on the way there...
Maybe not appropriate but..does anyone know who the deceased person is,laying the side of the hill 40:48?Very sad..just 250 m from the summit.
So incredible! Congrats!
Great film! Love it! Which company? Can you put a link in the description? Thanks!
I think they are climbers from the national team.
On the first ascent the climbers overcame the 2nd step by one standing on the shoulders of another. Did they keep repeating that technique to get up or just do that once? The climber lost all his toes. The 2nd step looks very steep and long.
Why isn't this more popular than South Col? Is it because it's in China? Seems like you avoid Khumbu and the route feels the same. Just curious. I am no mountaineer and have never been there in person, just like learning about it.
China doesn't commercialize the climb of Everest I believe. I think you need a permit
When you need to go for the big one😅 LMFAO 😂 I died 😂
Jolly good show!
Thank you
Wonderful, thank you for sharing
great documentary
The traverse, which section was that on?
So hard to hear, with the wind, but amazing video as always.
The wind is from the jet stream. Not much he can do about it.
good viewing as always
Great video!
Bravo pour cette vidéo, un autre regard ..🥰🍀🍀🍀🍀
Is the first step the most dangerous place on Everest?
No, the second step ist the most dangerous.
Que gran experiencia David Snow. Este es sin lugar a dudas el mejor documental de un ascenso por el lado norte.
