    Can't like it simply due to a first time climber going to Everest, not even trying to train on smaller peaks first :l.

      Makes you think how hard it is?

    And Sherpas ? Where are they in this story?

  • @WoodaPeople

    Mind-boggled by a couple of things. 1 - not a single mention of the Sherpas, or other guides, or any of the people who helped him get safely to the summit (and back). 2 - thankfully, his trip was successful and he’s still alive, but climbing Everest with schoolkids watching every move? Everest is littered with bodies of people who didn’t make it. Happy for this guy and all, but it’s a little too “me, me, me” for me, and devoid of the quality of respect I get when I listen to actual mountaineers.

      Let's get inspired and channel it in our as well as other's lives for the greater good rather than nitpicking and spoiling the purpose......

    Oh my god, like wtf, at 26 he had no idea where Mount Everest is (sheer ignorance), had never been to a "3rd world country" (pretentious and condescending), and had never slept in a tent (wuss).

      And so? He's precisely joking about that...

    • @Ayztv

      luckily he acknowledges that it's wrong.

    • @Shadow0fd3ath24
      @Shadow0fd3ath24 5 лет назад

      That's exactly why so many people said he NEEDED to tell this story

  • @lenac3587
    @lenac3587 5 лет назад

    And I mistook finding life for finding "living things" on Mt Everest!
