Same here, have never climbed, don't care to climb, but these short documentaries are wonderful to watch!!
Same after watching these pretty much feels like I'm there with them. I've now ticked that off the list
I’m glad I’m not the only who loves watching these documentaries... mountains are beautiful and majestic 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
I've never climb any mountains either, but man after you watch these climbers especially the professional ones, climb these monstrous beauties it kinda gets you motivated to want to start climbing ya know??
The peaks
Easily my favorite climbing documentary and I may have seen most in youtube. So unpretentious, so genuine and natural.
Finally a documentary, without hype, without fake drama, without ridiculous music, without sound effects. With real climbers, with real sounds (wind), with a great story, great photo shots etc... I can't recommend this enough.
but I love fake drama.....
@@supergrahamg Yes unreal drama , i think we cant need drama when we are at the holy mountains .
Exactly, I agree, loved it.
I agree, the second I hear any hipster music I'm gone!, or some beard dude with pant legs so tight that you actually wonder for a second or two as to how in the world he got those giant feet through the openings.
there are pretty decent videos of K2 and lately ive seen some impressive footage from the Nanga Parbat , by Alex Txikon
One of the best climbing documentation . You made a great job. congrats to every one in your team.
Great documentary Richard, I really enjoyed watching it. I was born and raised in Pangboche and Amadablam has always been close to my eyes. Thanks for such a great documentary.
Ru a real sherpa
@@Pluto102 yes I am. My dad and brother are mountain guides.
@@lhakpasb07 guides in Everest?or some other Himalayan mountain? anyway great.work by sherpas ..im from India
@@Pluto102 yes he guides in Everst. He has summited Everest 10 times and Amadablam 20-25 time. I will visit India sometime in future.
@@lhakpasb07 kool i plan to do Everest base camp trek in couple of years and visit Pashupatinath temple
Lovely documentary. Authentic and unpretentious. Ordinary people just pursuing their dreams and understanding their boundaries at the same time. Thanks for taking the time to film, edit and publish your footage. Enjoyed doing the climb with you from the comfort of my study on a murky, grey London Autumns day.
A refreshing documentary without exaggeration, and thoughtfully presented with a good story, great videography, and a good mix of voices. More please! Subscribed.
agreed. There was nothing overly dramatic; we just got a realistic look at the climb.
Please tell me, Is that Top of The World ?
Excellent documentary, glued to it from start to end never skipped a part.
Camp Two is absolutely bonkers!! 35:27
Great film, who knew the better party is at the neighbours of Everest ;)
You guys have done a great thing... My wishes to all the mountaineers... And the cameramen.. Great visusls.. Afterall a great documentary fetlt so live... 👍🏻
Great film, great climb, congrats to all.
Great video and I liked hearing all the different perspectives on the expedition. The cinematography was epic and reinforced my belief that you all are nuts AND fortunate. Congrats to all the mountaineers.
I'm an Indian girl living in the plains down south east. I'm in love with the mountains since I ever saw it first. Thanks for this video. Its a gem to me, especially those shots of the peaks with the local music playing. ❤
Do some travelling. Get to know your world. It's out here waiting for you.
Travelling is my favorite thing to do.
This documentary was fantastic. I can't wait to check out your other videos.
Very well narrated and documented. Understated and humble. A great achievement and experience not many attempt but many will admire. My vertigo would limit me to base camp I think!! But I can see how the mountains inspire and entice you to go further and challenge personal limits. Such a beautiful place but one that demands respect. Thanks for sharing your storey. Very well put together. Look forward to more accounts of your adventures. What is next on your radar?
I am with you on the vertigo bit. To look down and there is a gaping void.......horrrrrorrrrr!!!
Excellent film giving us arm chair explorers a true sense of what climbing a Himalaya peak is all about.
Can’t imagine the courage it took be the first climbers up there, not to mention the
climbers who laid the fixed rope.
beautifully well-said about climbing embodying living in the moment. a wonderful film. thank you!
“The thing that stands out the most though is the freedom .out there in the mountains you’re truly free. The rest of the world just fades away and you’re completely engulfed in the moment. When nothing else matters but the next move. It’s pure. Your whole being is right there. You.are.truly.living.in.the.moment. “
imho you just unlocked the essence of life. Well done, thumbs up! :))
Después de haber pagado 70.000 € eres muy libre sí 😂😂 , allí no vas gratis !!
Wow that music at the start took me somewhere else. So powerful.
Great doc, and easy on the ear, enjoyable to listen to and watch. Thumbs up and bravo to you.
Well done and congratulations on the summit. thank you for not dramatizing it with music or things like that.

That image takes all glory away from the summiters, and puts it where it belongs. On the Sherpas.
No love for the Sherpas that do 95% of the work for you? Lame.
WoW1 Amazing images and music! Thank you very much for sharing this!
Brilliant documentary, awesome filming, thank you!
In 1994 I was the leader of Ama dablam SE ridge, The Lagunak ridge. Our Australian team made the third ascent
Lovely, truthful, courageous and stunning. Well done!
Great documatary.Always wonder how you can climb in the dark.
"Awed by its presence and form."
I agree, both about the mountain and your story/film making skill.
Thanks for telling and showing/sharing it.
Excellent - no dramatics, just an honest account of the climb. This mountain is incredibly beautiful.
Ahhh ... free of all the Everest egos .... and so magnificent!
I enjoyed your film very much. Thank you for making and posting it. There is also a quality of humility in the way you presented it and indeed approached the whole endeavour which I found most refreshing. Ignore the few negative comments from those mean-spirited individuals whose egos would appear to be bigger than any mountain they may ever climb.
Hi David, I agree its a very enjoyable watch and presented in a non-egotistical manner. Some people including yourself are probably wondering "why the negative comments". Perhaps it relates to climbing ethics. Amongst mountaineers, it is considered OK to climb using protection, but not OK to pull on the protection or the rope to move up the mountain as we frequently saw in the video. Such action is considered a form of cheating and downgrades the achievement. You saw one climber on the tower which was the crux of the climb, deliberately avoiding tugging on the rope and instead he used handholds on the rock to advance. He was attached to the rope but only used it for protection, not to advance his climb, hence he was climbing in a purer acceptable style. I hope this makes sense.
@@warrengbryson Yep I also just commented on that. For me its not about "acceptable" style as everyone can do as he pleases but its a safety issue to know everyone can climb from the lead without ropes fixed. The woman talking about not being able to ascent the yellow tower without jumars was really a shock to me. In my experience then you should first work on your skills. Imo thats why jumars can be dangerous as in a heartbeat you may be forced to climb without them or maybe even climb down without and if you cant do that you are lost esp. at that height. And most of all you cant help others.
Well done! Thank you for posting!
Very nice film. I don't understand all those reactions which say that climbing mountains with fixed ropes isn't real climbing. Off course, Alpine climbing is much more difficult and heroic but anyone who climbs these kind of mountains, with or without fixed ropes, is a hero to me. Every individual has his own limits and knowing those is essential to mountanering. So, big bravo to all of you!
well yes, congrats to whomever go up any mountain and challenges himself but this is a totally different experience than climbing a mountain for real. it's just incomparable
I don't personally like the idea of fixed lines and jumaring up all the way to the top but I respect it.
Very nice video thoug
Next somebody is going to say that any mountain under 7000 meters isn't a real mountain. Whatever is exciting and a challenge is real climbing. My friend's 18-month old climbs vertically up into her highchair without fear of toppling it in the process - and I admire her; that's real climbing.
@@SF-fb6lv lol true
I feel that if you’re going to be up there you should have the ability to independently take care of yourself if something goes wrong, such as if an avalanche wipes out the fixed ropes.
Great watch mate, really well filmed and well narrated. Congrats on a job well done! :)

RIP George...just another pitiful confused Englishman.
Thank you for this. A great, humble, straightforward description of the experience without blaring triumphant music or goofy visual effects. Just the real thing in its austere beauty. Informative and inspiring.
3:56 holy shit what is this guy carrying
Beautiful scenery. I love watching all the mountain climbing videos. I like your verbal presentations. Very straightforward. Clear. Easy to understand. I also love the clear pictures. Glad no extraneous music, etc. I am enjoying your presentation. Well done!
103 pips dislike this?
Wha's wrong with you people ...
The thing is all climbers struggle with many mental issues and what keeps them in balance to reach another peak. Its like dopamin addiction by whatsapp messages. So much money wasted instead of look around in the colourfull world. I feel sorry for those families who has a high mountain climber member.
Well... The moment a climber will do any summit without using sherpas as their own personal mules, then I'll give a thumbs up. These 'climbers' are so lazy that they cannot even carry and make their own tea.
Ascending with fixed ropes and using already established camps (by sherpas) it's only a rich spoiled kid pastime...
@@ancaas7945 you do realise that the Sherpa people depend on rich foreigners to come for climbing season? These are very poor people who need the money. The Sherpa are great and he gives them credit in this video, no need to thumb him down.
Outstanding chronicle of an expedition executed without any pretense. My own attempts to climb in 2009 were thwarted by bad weather, but seeing your footage and the honest commentary gave me the feeling that I summited with you. Good luck on all your future climbs. Himalaya has a lot to offer.
Love the music in the beginning
Is that a N.E. England twang to your accent I hear?
Terrific film of a great endeavour in a beautiful area!!!!
This mountain is so technical. I wonder how many climbers that go to Everest would dare to go to AmaDablam?
Amazing video, Richard! :) I just climbed my first really high peak, Kilimanjaro (6. jan), and hope to reach other high mountains in the future. You are giving me a lot of inspiration, man!
Congrats Martin!
dude, i so like your delivery. level-headed, professional, family-oriented, clean cut and classy. respect to you Sir. keep these good videos coming. i quit politics so this stuff is mind candy.
I enjoyed that. No-frills production, all the commentary was informative and the landscape speaks for itself. Well played, lads.
THAT's a cool mountain. Great video, thanks!
Thank you Richard for filming this. I have never thought I will climb this mountain one day however after a friend climber got my attention to I’m inspired to find out more. Due to this I will be going back to Nepal in May 2018 to climb Island Peak and have a closer look into this project by my guide and Sherpa leading company. I wish you all the best in the rest of your climbing calendar mate 🙏🏼.
A Ash. Good luck. Will you be documenting the trip, and if you are will it be posted on RUclips
So how was it? (:
This is the best climbing doc. I have ever seen. I never had to wait for the next part, it was always right on time and presented perfectly. Thanks, excellent work 🏵️🌹💐🌺🌼
Ama Dablam was the most stunning mountain to see on my trek to Everest ….. the mountain is majestic, beautiful, awe inspiring …… I do not believe I could see another mountain to compare.
I could never climb anything like that and totally admire people who do.
Mt. Fishtail on Annapurna base camp trek
Thanks mate to you and your fellow climbers. I loved getting the perspective of the precarious tent sites and the steepness.....all from the comfort of my desk!
This is a lovely production Richard. I have to say, the scrambling and climbing aspect of Ama Dablam is far more appealing to me than the breathless trudging we often see in Himalaya films. It`s a truly beautiful mountain.
amazing documentary with informative voice. i have enjoyed it a lot.
Nice contrast to Everestbonanzamadness!! Good film about Climbers, not "klients"!!!
Gosh, this mountain really stirs my imagination. I also really appreciate the energy of Ama Dablan’s base camp and expeditions generally, feeling really collaborative and not so ego driven and where the climbers carry loads and set up their camps. The relationship between the climbers and Sherpas feels more genuine and respectful, somehow.
Why don't you let it happen?
@@dianamincher6479 - Hmm….
Amazing mountain, terrific footage, big like but hard eye roll at 31:57
Was cool until the global warming comment. Cause yeah that’s the only reason glaciers drop ice blocks.
Congratulations for the summit, thank you for these footage, enjoyed the video. But watching these videos made me realize how simple (not easy) it has become to climb some peaks in the Himalayas. You just have to hold on to the rope, I haven't seen one ice axe being used... The purpose of climbing shouldn't be to climb the mountain as it is and leave it like you founded? And trying to do as how the first climbers did? Otherwise it's just a highway.. on the contrary, the mountains I climbed in South America and especially in Bolivia are not equipped with all of this.. it's just you and the mountains
Finally a good documentary by people who don't use stupid sound effects and bad music. Great watch, thank you for documenting your trip for all of us to see. I've got such mad respect for the locals too who drag all that stuff up to the mountains. I won't ever be able to visit these areas myself so I'm really happy with the footage! Stunning images, good job.
I am aware of the danger of lingering; at altitude, but the views are mesmerizing.
Richard, you are correct when you mentioned "Freedom". That is what I experience when I touring on my bike. The freedom to roam where I want to. I also like meeting people along my journeys. The individuals and groups of fellow cyclists that I come into contact all want the same thing; "Freedom."
By the way, you are a brave soul indeed. I choose to watch videos such as yours than actually, physically climb mountains. I don't think I'm brave enough!
May Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior watch over you and your family of fellow climbers.
Actual climbers just enjoying the climb and what a great time! Thank you as I felt that I was there with you all😊
Congratulations always fantastic videos
Richard: Congrats on your summiting on a picture perfect day. Thanks for having us along.
Fantastic film mate, definitely feeling inspired to get out on some more adventures! Congrats on reaching the summit!
“ extreme exposure adding to the excitement” I just know I’d poop my pants so I’ll spare everyone the sight and remain an armchair mountaineer
I enjoyed every second of your experience and wished I was in your shoes. Great job, thanks for sharing your experience.
Wow...it's remarkable how much more SANE and respectful this trek seems than any account I've seen or read about Everest. Thank you 🙏 (Also, thanks for quoting Mallory as saying something OTHER than "Because it's there." The quotation you used makes so much more sense.)
Stunning and truly in awe at your achievement!
To have been making a film and capturing it all too, for all of us to watch is a generosity I thank you for 🙏
I deeply respect all the sherpa, s!!! And they deserve lots more money for everything they do and for all the responsibility they have!!!
Great movie, from a fantastic hidden gem of youtube, that your channel is.
Sherpa are the one who cooks , carry the loads and make the climb easy by making all the routes . Idk climbing could be a passion for everyone but my concern about the human waste and garbages which are never part of expedition.
Great climbing movie. So many details. I wish they were all like this.
Beautiful film. What an awe inspiring place!
Fixed ropes from Camp 1 to the summit? More of an amusement attraction than a climb.
AWESOME. RESPECT TO ALL CLIMBERS
Thank you for this beautiful report
I will be there in October
More fixed rope slogging. Does ANYONE actually climb these peaks anymore? Ya know, without having guides and sherpas fix thousands and thousands of feet of rope? Ugh.
I thought the same thing. It is less impressive when you need help. And where does all that rope go? It can't last forever.
You're gasping for air & get to the top of such beauty, & you have a dirty cigarette?
Fantastic POV documentary on the sexiest mountain in the world. Thanks for not over hyping like some i have seen. Who was the guide company you used?
Hi, I climbed with Dan Mazur's Summitclimb. Dan runs trips to Ama Dablam every year + several other peaks.
@@richard_pattison thanks Richard. I'm looking at climbing within the next few years.
Hi Richard.
Great video with excellent videography and commentary.
Would like to know what season you climbed in and what was the expedition duration / itinerary (if you could share).
Hi Brian, thank you for the kind words. I climbed in the post-monsoon season (October) - I joined an expedition organised by Dan Mazur of Summit Climb, the typical duration is about 4 weeks. I was actually in Nepal for 37 days, climbing Ama Dablam first and getting acclimatised, then left the team when they headed back to Kathmandu, I stayed in the mountains to climb by myself (Lobuche East, Parchermo, Yalung Ri) walking out through the Rolwaling valley. Hope that answers your question, Rich.
Thank you very much for not putting music into your interesting video🙏🏻
Dude, what kinda firelighter you used up there? I tried using one at the altitude of 5400m but didn't work. 🤔
Hi Richard, hope you well. We were on Aconcagua together in 1999 (or was it 2001). Still have the video tape you made of Aconcagua for us all. Pleased to see you still enjoying the mountains.
Fixed rope warriors!!!!
Thanks guys for your film, v inspiring. I’ve only ever climbed Toubkal in Morocco at 4200M, on that climb I swore I’d never climb another mountain again, the pain, the endurance. I knew I wasn’t a mountain climber. However I’ve now climbed Toubkal 5 times ! I’m in love with the mountain ambience. Funny. Upon my return summits there I’ve taken different non climbers up there to show them that very ambience and to introduce them to a different side of life. I couldn’t do what you guys do though, too old to train adequately and, of course to endure. Maybe Mnt Blanc next for me. Thank you again for your documented experience and congratulations. Gav.
This is a beyond excellent climbing doc. A great balance of the cultural elements, personal perspectives and the technical mountaineering details without the unnecessary elements plaguing most modern climbing videos. I get tired of modern videos being more akin to loud music videos and sizzle /hype reels with the subjects basically begging motivational for speaking gigs. This film allows the mountain its just majesty . Thank You Thank You.
Great video! And great footage! It really shows what to expect up there!
Richard, that was a wonderful documentary that captured the mood, the feel of the Trek and climbing, the exposure and the tension of your climb. An exceptional quality documentary that was a pleasure to watch. Thank you for making it!
You're perhaps the first mountaineer to mention global warming in an ascent video. I salute you sir!
I always suspected that Pringles was the best mountaineering food. Now I finally have proof!
GREAT VIDEO, THANKS
Did that one climber have a cigarette; REALLY??? I am 63 and used to Tec-SCUBA dive deepest 210 ft) as a smoker, but it got to the point where I had to give up the sport I loved because of COPD. I still smoke but have so many great memories. I did a tandem sky dive too, but I have NO desire to climb and like the one other comment said, I love to watch the videos.
Almost felt like i am on the summit with you, and such a perfect answer to the question '' WHY''! I will remember that! I wish you more moments like this! Thank you for this film!
Beautiful documentary. Congratulations on your accomplishment. I did the Everest base camp and Gokyo lake this October. It is a paradise. Mt. Ama dablam is a beautiful mountain.
ooohh black betty ama dablam ooooh black betty ama dablam
That looked like a really nice medium altitude climb with nice people. Good on you folks for reaching the top and returning with all your fingers and toes.
Can anyone name the music that comes in intro,please?
I bought the CD in Kathmandu after the expedition, it's called "Sacred chants of awakening" by Lama Pema Topchen. The specific music in the video is called "Kunsang dhodmi monlam".
