FINAL film from my experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania!!! HUGE THANKS to the Kiliwarrior team and Pat for being a YES MAN. Hope everyone's New Year goals are off to a killer start, the best is yet to come!
Erik, this brought tears to me eyes. I've been watching you since way back in the tiny apartment and you were lifeguarding at a pool. To see you on top of Kilimanjaro, literally on top, of the world is so symbolic. You've worked hard, worked through the obstacles, handled the difficulties and heartbreak of life, believed in yourself, kept at it and gone, up, up, up, and you always stress that you don't do it alone, that you have people in front, beside and behind you all the way. What an inspiration you are my young friend! Keep spreading your message!
You are Great Sir, Real inspiration for me. You are responsible for one push that brings Dream and reality more Closer. Keep dreaming and keep achieving forever. Godspeed.
This video is not just about climbing a mountain... this is about the struggle, persistence, hard work etc. needed to achieve our goals in life. Kudos Erik! You made it.
I successfully climbed Kili in 2015 at age 55. And the cold--like you--I can't describe how bitterly cold it was (and I'm Canadian!). On my ascent, in the middle of the night, I thought I would just stop, keel over and die and my team mates would find my body the next day when coming back down the mountain. That's how cold it was!! I persevered and made it to Uhuru Peak. Congrats to anyone who treks Kili. She''s a beast to be sure!
@@Jacolock123 February 1st - 8th. Our team leader has trekked it many times and this is when she takes a team. Our Tour Guide was ZARA Tours. They also do tours in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Check them out. You won't be disappointed.
The camera crew deserves a lot of credit! Great video, especially the glaciers, and carrying all that gear up the hill is a task.. I walked up Kilimanjaro on the Lemosho route a few years ago when I was sixty. We did it in seven days, not nine. A few suggestions if you choose to take the walk. First, take the longest route you can for which you have the time and money-that will increase your odds of success. Don’t dwell on the cold or the elevation; it only makes it worse for you and more so on those you’re walking with. Occasionally you will be breathing hard and you will be a bit chilly, just like everyone else. Instead, go slow; look at the sights, chat with the guide and porters, enjoy the trip. Also, book a local company, it’s way cheaper and you will learn more about Tanzania. (Thirty-five yrs ago I was a Peace Corps volunteer in East Africa.) Don’t wear safari gear like the narrator-our porters told me it’s insulting. Learn a little bit of Swahili online, the porters will love it. Use your old boots, old parka, and old sleeping bag, and plan on giving them to your porters (who desperately need them) at the end of your trip, and do that away from the guide. Otherwise many guides will take the donated gear and sell it. And if you tip money, then the guide and the company most likely will get all of it. Don’t be intimidated by the Western Breach. At its worst places, it’s barely class 2, and using even helmets is overkill. Everyone in my group made it to Uhuru: Haraka haraka haina baraka, Pole pole ndio mwendo. The trip is fun, and you should take this walk.
As I am watching this film, my daughter Jacq has just reached the summit at Killi...what an accomplishment! I am extremely proud of her...I thank God for her safe passage!!!
Erik, I lived on Kilimanjaro (at Marangu) as a teenager. Back in the the 1960s, most of the climbing expeditions began at Marangu, so I was in touch with the whole experience of climbers regularly passing my friends and me on the soccer field. In my own attempt for the summit just before coming back to the States, I got past the third hut to 17,500 feet, an hour and a half from the top, but had thrown up 30 times in 30 minutes. Altitude sickness hit me big time, so I was forced to turn back. Still, this is a mountain climb that is exquisitely beautiful, and doable for many people with good health who do not get crippled by the altitude. It is one of life’s sweet pleasures, as you have shown in this EXCELLENT video. No need for ropes or pitons, it’s in a stable country with lovely people for the most part, seasoned porters and guides are there to assist, and this would be a terrific bucket list goal for some of your viewers here. I have traveled now in 40 countries, and I often think the most beautiful place I have ever been is lying in the alpine meadow at about 9400 feet, just above the first hut, called Mandara. A close second place would be getting toward the top of the gorgeous mountain and beholding the royal blue sky during the daytime, darker because there is less atmosphere and you’re closer to outerspace up there. Go try it! Na bahati mzuri! (And good luck!)
I show this to my 6th graders every year when we study Subsaharan Africa. I use it to highlight how the environment changes as you go up in elevation. Also the kids genuinely enjoy it. They feel like they went on that adventure with you. Also great message at the end!
I have never seen such Majestic beauty in my life. This video really does it justice. As African, I have heard a lot about Mount Kilimanjaro, now I know how truly impressive it is. Superb!
We lost a wonderful personality in South Africa trying to summit this mountain and through your videos, I find myself realising how brave he was.... this does not look easy and it requires more than physical strength. I'm glad you made it and safe. #RIPGuguZulu
My friends went last December and a few couldn't make it due to altitude sickness. You are amazing, you not only climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro but made an entire documentary out of your journey. Huge respect! :)
Climbing mount kilimanjaro is on my bucket list after watching this video...its the true adventure...how beautiful and surprising is nature's wonders...snow in Africa!
Erik you started calling your videos as films,a perspective I found really interesting.Today it is the first time I felt like I was watching a film and not an ordinary travel video etc.Your work is outstanding and keeps getting better and better
Erik this video looks straight off the National Geographic channel! Absolutely beautiful and huge congratulations for reaching the summit! You should be really proud of this video and climb!

My friends from undergrad and I climbed Kili in June 2017... most beautiful of experiences! A week without internet was pure bliss. Thanks for this video series.. brings back great memories
Everytime Erik speaks about the air/oxygen, I immediately start feeling like I was hyperventilating lol I can't imagine how thin the oxygen is in that part of the world. Such stunning views though!

Omg You are right about the mountain she is amazing! And The air isn't that thin I've summited mountains that need bottles of O And lots of it. But Climbing rn is a crime not to do.
I summited this January, one of the greatest experiences I’ve had. It’s a hard trip, not “a walk up the trail” as others have said. I was sick the entire time and pushed through it. The porters are the true heroes and I will be be respectful and gracious towards them. It rained the entire time, except for the summit push. Great video
My wife and I used a candle lantern in our tent each night. 1 single candle running all night for about 8-10 hours. When it was 15F degrees outside on our snow covered tent, it was a comfortable 38F inside out tent. :)
Erik...This is going to be hard to top ...I mean...what's going to top this ? You have done it Bud...you and your team ...congratulations !!! So incredible and your so brave...wer'e so proud of your accomplishments...WOW...You are epic ! Epic Erik....yep...that's you !!
Erik ,Love the video . I climbed and summited back in 2009 ,in honor of my cousin who climbed 2 years earlier,then 9 months later he tragically lost his life due to Cancer .This video brought me right back . Since I got the trekking bug ,I've been all over the globe.Its an addiction as you know . Thanks again brother and Poley poley !!
One day maybe I'll climb that mountain or another but man you make us feel like we're right there with you. I feel invigorated just watching this video.
Since I was little I wanted to climb Mt Kilimanjaro. Over the years, the dream has faded as fear and "real life" took its place. This video/series of videos has really reignited that dream. While it may not happen this year for me, it will happen.
Have climbed Kilimanjaro twice, the first time via the Coco-cola route in four days and the second time the Western Breach in eight or nine days. If you really want to know what it is like climbing Kili, Erik's video is well done and explains the experience perfectly.
What a brilliant video. I feel as if I were there with you. My greatest adventure is my Christian faith . It's the most beautiful amazing journey I've ever taken. God bless you and everyone reading this. Let peace reign in our hearts and minds.

Hi Erik, I climbed Kilimanjaro as well in February of this year and this video is an amazing representation of the feelings that one feels on the exceptional adventure. This video really made me realize the magnitude of our achievement. Congratulations and thanks for the great video.
Erik, Words fail me as to the extent of my amazement about this "Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro" video series. Thank you very much for your efforts and for this video production which, undoubtedly must be one of the best, if not the very best travel documentaries to ever appear on RUclips or, for that matter, any other video displaying website on the Internet. In my opinion, this particular series is worthy of a national Television broadcast perhaps on a program produced on The Discovery Channel. In closing this comment, Erik, I offer you my sincerest congratulations about your incredible accomplishments of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and your production of an absolutely superb video series.
I first visited your page for the love of houses.., I didn't know I would end up watching you visiting My country and City., I am Proud to be a Tanzanian and I am Happy you made such a trip..., Karibu Tena Tanzania..
This is a piece of work that shows us and teaches us how to make a dream becoming true no matter how many difficulties you have to go through. It made a tremendous impact to me. Thank you guys for this
Unbelievable. I teared up watching this video. Congratulations Erik, and thank you for sharing this journey with us. Thank you for sharing parts of the local town and the story of the porters. I'm also really glad you made it back safely. It might sound weird, but I was actually concerned for you and was glad for your quick update on Instagram. I can't wait to see more videos from you!
Dear Brother Erik, I watched your video of your journey to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and I was captivated by the naturalness of your descriptions. The entire experience sounded incredible, and I want to congratulate you on reaching the summit. Your video, along with your voice, truly impressed me
Watching you struggle makes my head hurt just like then. I’m in shivers at when you talk about your dream . It feels like my dream! The journey changed my life . I’m helping children in Tz for the last 6 years . Built a school , supply with School essentials, fundraise money, save individuals children . This is my life’s purpose . My life has a new meaning , new purpose thanks to my friend Tomasz Kielin whose life dream was to stand on Kili. He succeeded, I didn’t. I felt disappointed. BUT, now thanks to that trip I’m a different person .
Its 2 am here in Ireland and I've just watched this video. It brought back vivid memories of February 2008 when I climbed this amazing mountain. Well done and thank you for sharing. In ten years time and beyond you will treasure the memory like I still do.
Those glaciers!! Thanks so much, Erik and the team, your amazing photography has shown me things I couldn't have imagined. It seems that Kilimanjaro is not just a mountain, it's a land, incredibly vast, diverse, and mindblowing.
My friends and I climbed Kili this year- they told us your route was no longer used because too many folk were killed in rockslides. It also was warmer for us, no snow at lava tower, so it looks like you had a hard climb. Respect ✊
Not so sure about those deaths stories you were told.. it’s NOT the Everest… more like Washington’s Rainier.. very rare for a death to occur, all are near miss! ❤️🇹🇿
@@PrincePaulIowa its true that route isn't used any more, a number of people lost their lives due to Rockslides, i am from hiking Kilimanjaro last month.
Erik-- I have been watching your channel since the tiny studio apartment. It was been a joy to watch you come into your own, develop your film skills, and purse your dreams. I have enjoyed every trip, but this one-- this one left me feeling like a dear friend had just accomplished an amazing feat! I'm so ridiculously proud of you. Well done!! And the footage is just the icing on the cake.
Thank You for making this video. I lived in TZ when i was Younger and climbed Kili to the Top on a school trip. I was 17 at the Time. I have a Dream to go back and climb some day . Hopefully while I am still Fit. We took a different route (With Cabins) then the one in this video but watching this brings back all kinds of great memories from the 90's trip to climb Kili ! To date I can say it was the best trip of my life !
Man, everything about this series was just epic... this was literally television quality. I could really sense that you were 10000% into it too. You have come along way dude... crazy. I even watched your first few videos just now to get a sense once again of how far you have come. That's the great thing about youtube that you wont find anywhere else, I can watch the first videos of creators like yourself/lost le blanc/ gabriel traveler/vagabrother e.t.c and get a real sense of how it all began. Very motivational!!!!

Fantastic video! I really got a sense of what it’s like. It’s on my bucket list and you’ve inspired me to do it. Killiwarriors look like a great outfit. I’ll be looking them up. Thanks!
This kind of pure isolation I've felt on my cruise on a Baltic Sea, on a small boat, when there was only water everywhere. Nothing else but water and the yacht I was in. It was peaceful and kinda frightening at the same time. I've also felt this way while being on a small island when there was no one else besides my crew and it was so small that you could see the borders of it and walk it all in 15 minutes. It feels like you've reached the end of the world or another planet 😀 You're an inspiration to dream and make it happen! Keep doing the great job Erik! Congratulations!!!
Always appreciate the authenticity behind your videos. This video not only extremely beautiful but the journey of getting to the top is simply inspiring and so touching. The struggle, determination, teamwork behind the whole process had me tearing up but smiling with admiration as well. Sending much love your way. Keep shining.
I just read an article yesterday in our local newspaper here in South Africa, about a woman who just completed her climb, and thought that's great. I can do that - climb Mount Kilimanjaro. I just turned 60, and I know I can still do it. I have to start some rigorous training, though. It seemed like I was climbing with you, and, out of breath when you were. Thank you Erik, for this video, beautifully done. Thanks!
Mungu Bariki Afrika mungu Bariki Tanzania. Am Tanzanian and am a guide too for climbing mountain Kilimanjaro welcome again Tanzania sir/ karibu tena Tanzania.
Got say Erik...this was not "take a few flights and u are there." You had to work hard for this beauty of nature. So impressed. Great videos! And Patrick too!
Nice way to present your documentary of Mt Kilimanjaro with all the narrative scene support in the video.. So far best one i've seen, please keep up your good work.
Great videos, I am glad to see some men still want to push themselves to accomplish difficult tasks. Thanks for the videos and description of the joy and difficulties of the climb.
Erik, this was amazing! I got all misty eyed a few times watching! What you have done here is magic and I believe we all can feel that magic! You have the heart of a great explorer! Don’t ever stop!!
FINAL film from my experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania!!! HUGE THANKS to the Kiliwarrior team and Pat for being a YES MAN. Hope everyone's New Year goals are off to a killer start, the best is yet to come!
Erik Conover loved it bro!!

This video is not just about climbing a mountain... this is about the struggle, persistence, hard work etc. needed to achieve our goals in life. Kudos Erik! You made it.
Thank you for that !
Yes! There's something beautiful about perseverance. What a great picture of that.

*you are a very st**id person tackling in feet, like 95% of the world uses international metric units*
Went there in 2017. To me, the porters are just amazing people. Great companions. They can never get enough recognition.
Seriously awesome man, congrats on reaching the summit.

Bro honestly I felt the same! I was breathing a bit heavier even though I’m just laying in my bed
Omg You are right about the mountain she is amazing! And The air isn't that thin I've summited mountains that need bottles of O And lots of it. But Climbing rn is a crime not to do.
Andre Cummings people that have empathy usually feel that way. It’s like if someone yawns you yawn, we’re hard wired to be social creatures
Being in Everest base camp, this doesn't look anything. But still every place has its challenges.
I summited this January, one of the greatest experiences I’ve had. It’s a hard trip, not “a walk up the trail” as others have said. I was sick the entire time and pushed through it. The porters are the true heroes and I will be be respectful and gracious towards them. It rained the entire time, except for the summit push. Great video

2 months of training, i cant even imagine the endurance. this was surreal to watch, absolutely breathtaking..a whole other level!
This is the absolute best of RUclips and the absolute best of humankind right here. Brought me to tears
im from switzerland and im used to high altittude and steep mountains. I love this Mountain and love how you are describing it. Congrats!
Hey find me I will take you there for a very reasonable cost, check me on WhatsApp +255763419607 I'm experienced mountain guide here! Very welcome!
The views at the summit are outrageously beautiful. Wow!!!
Tanzania the land of Kilimanjaro,the highest free stand alone mountain in the world🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿
Absolutely breath taking video and view from top of Mt Kilimanjaro is just speechless
I tried 3 times!
Nearly died 3 time. Went on Machame and Lemosho.
Still love Kilimanjaro.
Hello join us we offer nature adventure of Kilimanjaro hiking trips and Safari tour.

If climbing Kilimanjaro nearly killed you, imagine climbing the Himalayan monsters.
Can you please tell a little more detail ?
about the hardships that you had
@@yangerjamir0906 then when you climb Kangchenzongha, Mt Everest feels like child's play.
Kilimanjaro always seems so small because it only gets steep and snowy in the top part but my god when you look at pictures from far away, its massive
One day maybe I'll climb that mountain or another but man you make us feel like we're right there with you. I feel invigorated just watching this video.
Since I was little I wanted to climb Mt Kilimanjaro. Over the years, the dream has faded as fear and "real life" took its place. This video/series of videos has really reignited that dream. While it may not happen this year for me, it will happen.
Have climbed Kilimanjaro twice, the first time via the Coco-cola route in four days and the second time the Western Breach in eight or nine days. If you really want to know what it is like climbing Kili, Erik's video is well done and explains the experience perfectly.
What a brilliant video. I feel as if I were there with you.
My greatest adventure is my Christian faith . It's the most beautiful amazing journey I've ever taken.
God bless you and everyone reading this.
Let peace reign in our hearts and minds.
Love it my dude
thank you brother!

Hi Erik,
I climbed Kilimanjaro as well in February of this year and this video is an amazing representation of the feelings that one feels on the exceptional adventure. This video really made me realize the magnitude of our achievement. Congratulations and thanks for the great video.
Erik,
Words fail me as to the extent of my amazement about this "Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro" video series. Thank you very much for your efforts and for this video production which, undoubtedly must be one of the best, if not the very best travel documentaries to ever appear on RUclips or, for that matter, any other video displaying website on the Internet. In my opinion, this particular series is worthy of a national Television broadcast perhaps on a program produced on The Discovery Channel. In closing this comment, Erik, I offer you my sincerest congratulations about your incredible accomplishments of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and your production of an absolutely superb video series.
I first visited your page for the love of houses.., I didn't know I would end up watching you visiting My country and City., I am Proud to be a Tanzanian and I am Happy you made such a trip..., Karibu Tena Tanzania..
This is a piece of work that shows us and teaches us how to make a dream becoming true no matter how many difficulties you have to go through.
It made a tremendous impact to me.
Thank you guys for this
Yes
very inspirational! Being overweight and dreaming about Kilimanjaro push me to work out even harder. Thank you Erik.
Unreal. From studio apt tours to summiting Kilimanjaro. So inspiring. Kudos
I trekked to the summit in 2013 and wow I’ll never forget that feeling as your on the roof of Africa
Well done guys
Climbing Kilimanjaro was one of the best experiences of my life. I did the Machame route in 6 days.
Unbelievable. I teared up watching this video. Congratulations Erik, and thank you for sharing this journey with us. Thank you for sharing parts of the local town and the story of the porters. I'm also really glad you made it back safely. It might sound weird, but I was actually concerned for you and was glad for your quick update on Instagram. I can't wait to see more videos from you!
Dear Brother Erik,
I watched your video of your journey to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and I was captivated by the naturalness of your descriptions. The entire experience sounded incredible, and I want to congratulate you on reaching the summit. Your video, along with your voice, truly impressed me
Probably your best video so far! That's what I call a proper travel vlog!
Watching you struggle makes my head hurt just like then.
I’m in shivers at when you talk about your dream . It feels like my dream! The journey changed my life . I’m helping children in Tz for the last 6 years . Built a school , supply with School essentials, fundraise money, save individuals children . This is my life’s purpose . My life has a new meaning , new purpose thanks to my friend Tomasz Kielin whose life dream was to stand on Kili. He succeeded, I didn’t. I felt disappointed. BUT, now thanks to that trip I’m a different person .
‘We call him, Mama’ lol 😂 best joke ever
Ohh boy the joke knocked me down lol
Magnifique quel courage , c'est dur mais tu y es arrivé , bravo Erik !
Its 2 am here in Ireland and I've just watched this video. It brought back vivid memories of February 2008 when I climbed this amazing mountain. Well done and thank you for sharing. In ten years time and beyond you will treasure the memory like I still do.
Those glaciers!! Thanks so much, Erik and the team, your amazing photography has shown me things I couldn't have imagined. It seems that Kilimanjaro is not just a mountain, it's a land, incredibly vast, diverse, and mindblowing.
My son is climbing it now! Thanks for a peek of the peak! So I can see what he might be experiencing!
It has been my dream to climb the mountain since 2010. One day I will. Thank you for your inspiring videos on the subject.
My friends and I climbed Kili this year- they told us your route was no longer used because too many folk were killed in rockslides. It also was warmer for us, no snow at lava tower, so it looks like you had a hard climb. Respect ✊
Not so sure about those deaths stories you were told.. it’s NOT the Everest… more like Washington’s Rainier.. very rare for a death to occur, all are near miss! ❤️🇹🇿
@@PrincePaulIowa its true that route isn't used any more, a number of people lost their lives due to Rockslides, i am from hiking Kilimanjaro last month.
The landscape of Mount Kilimanjaro looked so epic and amazing. The glaciers looked spectacular. ♡♡♡
Erik-- I have been watching your channel since the tiny studio apartment. It was been a joy to watch you come into your own, develop your film skills, and purse your dreams. I have enjoyed every trip, but this one-- this one left me feeling like a dear friend had just accomplished an amazing feat! I'm so ridiculously proud of you. Well done!! And the footage is just the icing on the cake.
Thanks for taking the Climb Joey! Kili will welcome you back anytime!
did this climb in 2017,its one of the greates things am proud of
Thank You for making this video. I lived in TZ when i was Younger and climbed Kili to the Top on a school trip. I was 17 at the Time. I have a Dream to go back and climb some day . Hopefully while I am still Fit. We took a different route (With Cabins) then the one in this video but watching this brings back all kinds of great memories from the 90's trip to climb Kili ! To date I can say it was the best trip of my life !
Congratulations on making it to the top of Kilimanjaro Erik!
Man, everything about this series was just epic... this was literally television quality. I could really sense that you were 10000% into it too. You have come along way dude... crazy. I even watched your first few videos just now to get a sense once again of how far you have come. That's the great thing about youtube that you wont find anywhere else, I can watch the first videos of creators like yourself/lost le blanc/ gabriel traveler/vagabrother e.t.c and get a real sense of how it all began. Very motivational!!!!
Beautiful place and going through all (well, almost) of Earth's climate zones in a week is pretty cool!
Hello Erik, thank you for documenting this all! such a journey and inspiring video!
I have been waiting for this !

great video eric.
as a Tanzanian im glad you were able to have this adventure.
One of my favorite videos of yours, keep up the great work!
Fantastic video!
I really got a sense of what it’s like.
It’s on my bucket list and you’ve inspired me to do it.
Killiwarriors look like a great outfit. I’ll be looking them up.
Thanks!
Wow your videography skills are amazing! This is the reason I was able to create my channel this year because people like YOU have inspired me!!
keep on creating!
This kind of pure isolation I've felt on my cruise on a Baltic Sea, on a small boat, when there was only water everywhere. Nothing else but water and the yacht I was in. It was peaceful and kinda frightening at the same time. I've also felt this way while being on a small island when there was no one else besides my crew and it was so small that you could see the borders of it and walk it all in 15 minutes. It feels like you've reached the end of the world or another planet 😀 You're an inspiration to dream and make it happen! Keep doing the great job Erik! Congratulations!!!
this was beautiful. amazing video!
Always appreciate the authenticity behind your videos. This video not only extremely beautiful but the journey of getting to the top is simply inspiring and so touching. The struggle, determination, teamwork behind the whole process had me tearing up but smiling with admiration as well. Sending much love your way. Keep shining.
I would kill to see the night sky from this mountain! I bet it was breathtaking 😍
I just read an article yesterday in our local newspaper here in South Africa, about a woman who just completed her climb, and thought that's great. I can do that - climb Mount Kilimanjaro. I just turned 60, and I know I can still do it. I have to start some rigorous training, though. It seemed like I was climbing with you, and, out of breath when you were. Thank you Erik, for this video, beautifully done. Thanks!
This guy just said "kuma mayo" 5:31 😂😂
😂😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
What does it mean
😂 😂 😂 Thought i was the only one who caught it
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mungu Bariki Afrika mungu Bariki Tanzania. Am Tanzanian and am a guide too for climbing mountain Kilimanjaro welcome again Tanzania sir/ karibu tena Tanzania.
Awesome video dude. I am a New Yorker but i was born in Moshi right at the foot of the mountain and had the privilege of climbing it twice.
Got say Erik...this was not "take a few flights and u are there." You had to work hard for this beauty of nature. So impressed. Great videos! And Patrick too!
Nice way to present your documentary of Mt Kilimanjaro with all the narrative scene support in the video.. So far best one i've seen, please keep up your good work.
The best, most inspirational story telling I've ever come across! Incredible Erik, just incredible!
wow I enjoyed it a lot The scene was aesthetically pleasant . Love from Pakistan .
Great videos, I am glad to see some men still want to push themselves to accomplish difficult tasks. Thanks for the videos and description of the joy and difficulties of the climb.
wow ..ur the best am so happy i was one of ur first subscribers ..
Erik, this was amazing! I got all misty eyed a few times watching! What you have done here is magic and I believe we all can feel that magic! You have the heart of a great explorer! Don’t ever stop!!
Come to Nepal and climb Mt. Everest or Mt. Annapurna!
You will enjoy a lot.
Lots of love from the country of Himalayas, Nepal.
Digdarshan Bhattarai I have just done the Everest this month lukla- namche -gorakshep EBC & on way down in 2 days 😊
That is absolutely breath taking, video is really professionally quality, after all is amazing.
The shots at the top are some "planet earth" type shots. cheers!
