I think the Sherpa went fast down because he knows how fast the weather can change and once you have accomlished your goal, no need to stay in a danger zone.
Also, you never know who's a ticking time bomb for severe altitude sickness. Once HAPE or HACE debilitates someone up there, they are staying up there.
He was moving fast because we can see from your video that the weather was changing rapidly. Instead of letting you know and have you panicked, he led the way smart. Appreciate him!
Correct, I agree, but also the Sherpa was like: Ok pal, I guided you all the way up to here, you made it you hit your goal your dream, blah, blah, blah...Now let's get the hell outta here fast!...nothing wrong with that.
@@AngelGonzalez-pd4cn You make yourself sound like a twelve year old they way you write your comment. The real reason also could be that the longer you spend in that high altitude. The less oxygen you will have, so the Sherpa was smart to led you down fast, so you will still oxygen going down, because when you ran out of oxygen. The body shut downs and then it becomes a lot more difficult to get down.
Congratulations! 🙌Thanks for taking all of us on this amazing journey through your video series. For many of us, this will be the closest we come to Everest🏔!
That is a very good point. I had wondered at that. He was moving fast to keep his client safe and getting him out of there. I know Ryan was surprised he was doing all the clipping and unclipping for him- that was likely due to the fact the decent is the most dangerous like Ryan pointed out. People are tired and can get disorientated. This Sherpa was incredible in keeping his young client safe and doing what he needed to do. It was fun watching how quick and agile he was though!
@@jipangoo And I don't think there's ropes already laid on the route is there? You really climb it yourself, pure pristine scary as hell climbing. This video did show how much exposure there is. Terrifying.
How can you be sure though, did you see his birth certificate? Did you test a DNA sample? Did you check his passport and driver’s license? Did you collect a fingerprint and hair sample? Did you check his Twitter account is verified?
After reading a lot about this mountain and the lifes it takes. watching the way you descent the mountain gives me a good picture on why most of the deaths occur on the descent.
You had a good Sherpa going down. Experienced. He knows it is harder for people going down so he clipped you himself and pushed you to get you down as fast as possible.
that makes a lot of sense. i watched the video thinking how unprofessional it was to put him into this kind of danger, like what if he wasn’t ready to unclip yet or wanted to breathe a bit before going further. but sherpa probably knew what he could handle and get people down asap before exhaustion kicks in
@@julaiyyy Going down can be more dangerous and the weather can change in minutes. You are near the point of exhaustion, running on adrenaline and your judgement is not as sharp as going up.
They aren't paid anywhere remotely near enough money for the job they do. Realistically, 98% of these wealthy, privileged western "bucket list" climbers could EASILY afford to pay the Sherpas what they deserve, but instead they opt not to. These people would barely miss the extra $50,000 that they should be paying them.
Hey Ryan, it was a great opportunity to pass by you. I was the one who wished you all the best on your ascent at the south steep ridge. Also the Ganesha, that your guide found belonged to me. Please do convey my regards to him for bringing my faith all the way till the summit. Can't believe how fate can make coincidences like that. Thanks for the clips as well.. very well shot
That is so incredible. The fact it was caught on camera to confirm it was never lost at all, and you to find this.. Divine Intervention in the highest of places.
I have watched a lot of Everest videos. This is by far the one that has given me the strongest feeling of what it might be like to be on and climb this great mountain. The summit ridge looks terrifying. If you only had a view. The mountain was really gentle with you. Thanks for including everyone in your experience. What seemed like a tough stroll in the park can turn deadly in the wink of an eye.
Ryan, I am 52 now, but when I was 18 I dreamed of climbing Mt. Everest. But at that time there were hardly any photos of the route, and no video. A remember staring at a single shot of the Hillary Step trying to gain some insight into what the summit day would be like. So, watching your video just now - blew my mind! The shots you captured are truly epic and you also have video where almost no one has taken footage. Absolutely amazing job and congrats on the climb.
I did my climb to the submit when I was 35 without much training. Nowadays it is just like any other paid guided holiday; you can always pay for another Sherpa to have additional services.
@@MDroid-bn6ebohhh you climbed to the summit on a sunny day, you're sooo cool... Ego driver to the max. Sooo cool. Climbing is sooo cool. Littering the mountain is so cool too.
Your Sherpa was not taking any chances.... "I'm getting my guy off this mountain asap, I'll even do the clipping.... not under my watch is anything happening to Ryan today" 😂😂
I just finished reading the book Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, and it's crazy how fast the weather changes and the consequences of that. Sherpa was really just looking after Ryan by going down fast in a way that can make no sense if the weather stays good, but can be the difference between life and death if you're caught in a storm.
Gross, its full of garbage. I would feel like an idiot climbing this far up to see that. You aren't on top of the world, you can fly over it lol. I can stand in a plane and be higher lolol.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for some & most of the people in the world won't get to this. I am blessed to live in a era where I can virtually see someone accomplishing the impossible. Thank you Ryan
@@SophieJackson1993 What you said is True , then again this is the highest graveyard in the world for a reason. You have to be physically and mentally fit for this. Hence, most people won't be able to do this even they have adequate sum of money.
@SophieJackson1993 you still need some experience and be physically strong enough to do it. Plus 20 thousand dollars in permits. Either way a lot of people (relative to other climbs) have died trying. There is not a queue really, cuz it is expensive to climb. Also still dangerous. Not anyone can do it.
It’s “impossible” let there’s more ppl on the mountain then in my gated community rn….. seems like it used to be impossible before the tech we have now that makes it just a big commitment with a lot of risk.
@@SophieJackson1993I dislike when people say this it’s most certainly easier than it was in the past but it’s by no means “easy” or like “Disney” most people can’t even walk around Disney world without getting fatigued let alone even make it to Everest base camp without getting exhausted for most people they will never be close to capable of climbing Everest
Incredible!!! You realize that the fact that your Sherpa was hauling it is of greatest compliment to you and your group as he new your capabilities and new you would keep up with him and he chose to move through the climb to get you up and down as quick and safe as he could.
Thank you for using the Sherpa's name and giving him credit for assisting you. They don't get enough respect for what they do so I appreciate you acknowledging how strong of a climber he was. Respect. :)
@@jond181 Do you even use google? The first people to do it were Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953, and they used oxygen. Hell the first group to reach the south summit was two days prior, part of the same expedition, and they turned around after reaching the south summit due to troubles with their oxygen system.
@@SoapSoapCrayonPerhaps you should use Google too 😂 George Mallory & Andrew Irvine were first in 1924. They died trying, one being found only 200m from the summit.

@@07thomasd Maybe you need to google also. Google says that Ligma & Balls were the first to do it in 420,069 B.C. Sadly they died and lost their low taper fade due to mewing too hard off the mountain.
Well done son ! 👍from Scotland .My neighbour died on Everest in 1997 of altitude sickness .He was a professional guide .So I'm glad you made it safe and sound ..
This is By Far the Best Video of Going from Camp 4 to Summit. Most Videos are of Hilary Step, Knife edge Ridge, and Summit. I've always wondered what it was like from Camp 4 to Balcony, and From Balcony UP... you've captured most of that! Thank You!
Great job Sherpa getting you down quickly. He knew with the winds and snow increasing that the risks were mounting. Moving fast is certainly difficult but he was doing that to keep you alive. These men live and breath that mountain.
At your age, the greatest strength you have, and most dangerous, is a lack of fear. I had that too at your age, commercial fished in Alaska for years, traveled and hitchhiked across the country, etc. I am older now, have two children, and would never do such things again as I don't want my children to grow up without their father. Good for you, enjoy!
It's so thoughtful of you to say, "I don't want my kids to grow without a father." it shows that you put your kids' well-being above being adventurous. I hope my future partner thinks the same way🙏🏻 God bless!
sherpa did everything perfectly, he knows its better to go back to base 4 as fast as you can. i went 3 years back but i was only able to reach base 3 due to very bad weather condition we didnt continue further, weather at everest is never predictable it changes within an hour,i will be going next year again to complete it.
It's been a hell of a climb with you. This has been the BEST footage I have ever seen. Felt every step and breathed every breath with you. Thank you for letting us all tag along. Congratulations.
Congratulations Ryan. You've conducted yourself with dignity and grace. I'm from Massachusetts, and I'm proud to say you've done our region of New England proud. Again, congrats. 🙂
Ryan, this series is, hands down, the B E S T video coverage of the mountain, Mt. Everest! I've seen many Everest videos, but none has been able to capture the route in such detail and show the majesty of this mountain! B R A V O ! ! ! I'm sure many guide companies will tell their clients to watch your videos as a way to help get a sense of what it takes to climb the mountain.
He's setting a pace because getting out of the death zone asap is a matter of life and death. You can get pulmonary or cerebral edema especially in the death zone and being on oxygen is no guarantee of avoiding it. It really is a russian roulette once you get into the death zone, youth and fitness do not guarantee you won't be affected hence so many young people have died up there.
Check out patecwariatec. He is a polish youtuber who also climbed Mount Everest this year. Today he will release last video, and his series is amazing.
@@jmizer5336 you should watch PatecWariatec he climbed the mount everest and he did 3 series of it each takes 1 hour it's a polish youtuber but there's english subtitles
Good for you young man. The Sherpa at the end was next level. He knows that is not the place to slowdown. Perfect weather move fast. The longer and better celebration is at base camp.
I cried, im so happy for you, super well done!!!!!! I can't thank you enough for bringing us along with you on this most incredable journey it was epic, I'm looking forward to your journey back down. It just looked so difficult and exhusting and you were positive the whole way through! Huge hugs from Denmark EU!
Amazing video! It's so clear and beautiful! Look at those clouds below the mountain tops! I've seen many films/ documentaries showing people climbing Everest. Your video puts them all to shame! I get more of a real feeling and look at the mountain! Thank you for sharing it with us!❤
I've never seen this perspective of the final ascend before, it looks incredibly steep and dangerous. Your visuals are amazing, you gave the viewer the best vantage point.
Nice story and great footage. ❤Congrats 🎉❤. 24:00. He (your designated climbing Sherpa) was saving your life and his own by going fast down. The history is loaded with great climbers getting caught up high and never returned down alive. Thank you for sharing!
OMG, congratulations on conquering Everest bro, that's quite an achievement, thanks a lot for sharing this video. So sad that it got very cloudy once you got to the summit, but hey, you were there. You got solid proof of that! cheers from Mexico.
Every vlog was excellent. I'm looking forward to watch the number of views grow as time passes, and word gets out about your style/presentation and unique ability to balance cocky youth, with a distinct overtone of old soul patience and wisdom. This was incredibly well done.
The sherpa guiding down the mountain wasnt fcking around lol. I think he was making sure to get you out of potential dangerous weather shift. Awesome journey
Your Sherpa is going fast because he knows the weather is turning a bit, and that most accidents happen on the way down! He is basically getting out of dodge :D Thank you for sharing your journey. Amazing experience and well done on reaching the top, and getting back in one piece to tell the tale!!
Ryan, this is the greatest footage of climbing that final ridge, let's say from the South summit all the way to the top. Thanks for that, and congrats to your success.
The view of the other mountains (that are insanely high as well) being below you is so amazing. Such a great insight into everything you see/do while summiting! Amazing job
Do you know why Sherpa was rushing to get back? The rush hour to the summit usually starts around 6-7am because most climbers wake up late. Sherpa wanted to help you avoid climbing over the amatuer and unprepared inbound climibers who get winded and hang on the ropes, creating the conga line. You're guides are true pros: getting you out of bed at 1am to get that morning summit and get you back down by noon while there was still light. You prepared well and being 19 makes you very resilient. Also, that 26 mile walk back to the village the other day served you well. By any standard, you were moving quite fast. Sherpa was only faster because it looks like he done it before and knew the way. Also, I think Sherpa has to recover and take others up after you go home?
This was wonderful footage. I love mountains but have no personal desire to climb them but I do enjoy climbing films and this particular one somehow felt like it immersed me in the actual climb and the environment.
Congratulations! Also, I am just in awe of the Sherpas. What they do is just incredible. When I saw that black rectangle I was like what's wrong with the... ohhhhhhh. This was a really fascinating set of videos to watch. I've never actually watched climbing videos like this before, really impressive.
Beautiful footage, thank you for sharing! The summit is, of course, only half way, so dropping some elevation quickly, but carefully, is invariably good practice. Getting out of hypoxia, cold, changing weather, ice fall, climber traffic, equipment failure, etc, exposure quickly is the best way to manage all of these risks, especially at extremely high altitude. Congratulations on the awesome summit!
Thanks Ryan for sharing your journey. The quality of your video gave an "almost there" looking over your shoulder experience. One of the best vlogs of the whole Everest Challenge that I have seen. Congratulations to you and your entire team.
Congratz dude!!! This video i think the most complete on the RUclips to show from south col to the summit with few cuts. I watch this beautiful journey. I’m happy for the opportunity to follow this!! Ty
Congratulations Ryan!!! We have eagerly awaited this video for over a month.. Your well documented accomplishment is a glaring testament to all those who went before you who had limited knowledge and resources. When I was your age, the number 1 song at the end of the year was "Sugar, sugar" by the "Archies". We only had 35mm cameras and 8mm film which was black and white. All we knew about Mt Everest was the news reports of Sir Edmund Hillary. We had zero understanding of what he had accomplished. You are now a companion of some unbelievably brave men and women who have touched the top of the earth. May you cherish it for a lifetime. Good job!!
Congratulations! Glad to see you submitted in good health with plenty of energy in the tank. Thank you so much for documenting your journey with gorgeous video shots and commentary.
The Sherpa meant the best for you by going down fast to avoid sudden bad weather change. This looked so scary especially going down but at the same time you guys made it up and down so easily. Congratulations! Glad you're all safe now🎊👏
Thank you for taking us with you so we don't have to go! 😆This is amazing footage and I'm not even half way through and you answered already so many question, like how it works when someone comes down. Well, congrats to that trip!
This is the best footage I have ever seen of thee summit day. THANK YOU! I would guess that sherpa knew you were strong on the ascent. And knew the descent was going to hurt. He acted as a rabbit & assistant. And got you down safely. Great Job!
I’ve watched tons of Everest documentaries done by super qualified and expensive film companies… this one BY FAR is the best!!! Really living it with you
Congratulations to you and the team....that was amazing. I have seen lots of footage of Everest, but somehow you made it seam more real....especially the views. Omg!! 9:50 What an incredible journey!! Thank you for taking us along. 💕
Such a great documentary of your summit; first person view and comments, unfiltered, just great to watch! Thanks a lot and huge congrats to you! Well done!
This must be one of the best videos on RUclips. Thank you for sharing this. No unnecessary emotional background soundtrack and commentary. Only adding important information when and where needed. Sad to see deceased climbers near the top (I imagine the blacked out segment was for that?) and the amount of junk on the top.
Really enjoyed this video series, so many people don't show much on the way up or down. Everyone sitting on their couch loves to claim that Everest is easy and not a really mountain, and maybe comparably speaking it is, but these videos really give people a good sense that it is a major achievement, even if it is made as "easy" as possible. It's high, it's steep, it's cold, you have to unclip A LOT to get around people, etc.
I agree. Going down is the most dangerous part of the trip. That Sherpa wants to get you back to camp four quick. You gotta move! That Sherpa knows the dangers and he’s trying to save your life.
This vlog series has been amazing to watch, I really appreciate you taking the time to bring us along on your journey. Badass work on the climbing and videos. Shout out to you Ryan
What an amazing achievement & video. I know i will never see Everest, but thanks to you i just have from the safety of my lounge chair, just awesome ! Congrats & thanks for sharing !
I am so glad I watched this video. You had no idea how brutal it really is and how scary....when they unclipped to move around people and just in general made me so nervous. Great video.
CONGRATULATIONS RYAN. what an effort, you deserve it and soak it all in my friend... well done and thank you for taking us along the journey for 40 days to your summit and journey to the top of the earth.. well done... also this was some scary footage, i was sweating from my house for you. well done...
Fabulous footage! I’ve seen a lot of documentaries and films, but never anything like this so close to the summit am on the Summit. At one point I actually gasped! Really spectacular. Congratulations on your success.
This is best video I ever see from Mt Everest. Camp 4 to Summit and back to camp 4 Unbelievable. Thank you very much and congratulations on Summiting top of Mt Everest.
agree 100%. he did a superb job throughout. (not gonna lie - I thought it was a big mistake when he decided to trek the 26km to that village after his initial acclimatization. He became ill just after that. BUT, all is well, that ends well, I guess).
@@siggifreud812 I think his expedition company (Madison Mountaineering) did fantastic job. The fact he had good rest day in Camp 4 makes huge difference. It's all abt the strategic planning and avoiding crowded days

I think the Sherpa went fast down because he knows how fast the weather can change and once you have accomlished your goal, no need to stay in a danger zone.
Surprised an experienced hiker like him wouldn’t understand….
That sherpa should have known better because that could have led to serious exhaustion which, at high altitude, can be deadly.
The whole mountain is a danger zone, and your an idiot for going there.
@@Mila_Brearey I guess that Sherpa was paid by the job and not the hour.

Is your neighbor body still on Everest? Or did he make it down then passed? Sorry for the loss.
@@ST-ej9bt depends on how close the bodies are to the base camp. It is exhausting just to walk by yourself, imagine carrying a body
@@ST-ej9bt Saw a footage of hillary steps, a dead body was hanging from rocks
This is By Far the Best Video of Going from Camp 4 to Summit. Most Videos are of Hilary Step, Knife edge Ridge, and Summit. I've always wondered what it was like from Camp 4 to Balcony, and From Balcony UP... you've captured most of that! Thank You!
We made it! Oh, I am sorry YOU made it. Great job! Congratulations! Thank you so much for allowing me to go on this journey with you.
Well done absolutely incredible
Incredible.
Man that was exhausting 😁
So glad you are safe.
i know i’m exhausted! 😂🎉
I'm glad for being part of the Team who put the first rope to you all folks! Enjoy it =)...
Great job Sherpa getting you down quickly. He knew with the winds and snow increasing that the risks were mounting. Moving fast is certainly difficult but he was doing that to keep you alive. These men live and breath that mountain.
It's disgusting how people litter the mountain.
cry
It’s like being back in New Jersey…
It's disgusting that they have to shit themselves while they are up there. Oh, I agree with you too.
You'll never go there to see it anyway. Lettering the oceans and rivers is WAY worse. Cry about that instead
What’s disgusting is that none of those people could do it without Sherpas. They do everything for them.
At your age, the greatest strength you have, and most dangerous, is a lack of fear. I had that too at your age, commercial fished in Alaska for years, traveled and hitchhiked across the country, etc. I am older now, have two children, and would never do such things again as I don't want my children to grow up without their father. Good for you, enjoy!
It's so thoughtful of you to say, "I don't want my kids to grow without a father." it shows that you put your kids' well-being above being adventurous. I hope my future partner thinks the same way🙏🏻 God bless!

Yeah, it's crazy the things we do when we're young 😁
sherpa did everything perfectly, he knows its better to go back to base 4 as fast as you can. i went 3 years back but i was only able to reach base 3 due to very bad weather condition we didnt continue further, weather at everest is never predictable it changes within an hour,i will be going next year again to complete it.
Wow cool, good luck!
It's been a hell of a climb with you. This has been the BEST footage I have ever seen. Felt every step and breathed every breath with you. Thank you for letting us all tag along. Congratulations.
Congratulations Ryan. You've conducted yourself with dignity and grace. I'm from Massachusetts, and I'm proud to say you've done our region of New England proud. Again, congrats. 🙂
Ryan, this series is, hands down, the B E S T video coverage of the mountain, Mt. Everest! I've seen many Everest videos, but none has been able to capture the route in such detail and show the majesty of this mountain! B R A V O ! ! !
I'm sure many guide companies will tell their clients to watch your videos as a way to help get a sense of what it takes to climb the mountain.
Dont forget you have to be a complete moron to do it in the firstplace.
I have summited Mt. Everest numerous times...on RUclips videos of course! It is by far the best way to summit this beast of a mountain.
He's setting a pace because getting out of the death zone asap is a matter of life and death. You can get pulmonary or cerebral edema especially in the death zone and being on oxygen is no guarantee of avoiding it. It really is a russian roulette once you get into the death zone, youth and fitness do not guarantee you won't be affected hence so many young people have died up there.
You are the only Vlogger who shows all from starting to end, base camp to summit and back, knew many things from this series and really appreciate
Yes. Outstanding series! Well done!
Check out patecwariatec. He is a polish youtuber who also climbed Mount Everest this year. Today he will release last video, and his series is amazing.
@@jmizer5336 you should watch PatecWariatec he climbed the mount everest and he did 3 series of it each takes 1 hour it's a polish youtuber but there's english subtitles
Please watch
PatecWariatec. Turn on the subtitles, you won't regret it. No one on YT has made such a good Everest series.
This is the best view of the last part of the climb I have ever had. Thank you, and congratulations to Sherpa and you.
Great video of the climb from Camp Four to the Summit. Thank you.
The Sherpa who lead your climb is a remarkable man.
Good for you young man. The Sherpa at the end was next level. He knows that is not the place to slowdown. Perfect weather move fast. The longer and better celebration is at base camp.
I cried, im so happy for you, super well done!!!!!! I can't thank you enough for bringing us along with you on this most incredable journey it was epic, I'm looking forward to your journey back down. It just looked so difficult and exhusting and you were positive the whole way through! Huge hugs from Denmark EU!
Gotta appreciate the video quality ! You are living the dreams of many and helping many virtually live their dreams ! Gratitude and praises !
Amazing video! It's so clear and beautiful! Look at those clouds below the mountain tops! I've seen many films/ documentaries showing people climbing Everest. Your video puts them all to shame! I get more of a real feeling and look at the mountain! Thank you for sharing it with us!❤
I've never seen this perspective of the final ascend before, it looks incredibly steep and dangerous. Your visuals are amazing, you gave the viewer the best vantage point.
We all can say that this is the MOST fabulous footage of the summit ever made ❤
Nice story and great footage. ❤Congrats 🎉❤. 24:00. He (your designated climbing Sherpa) was saving your life and his own by going fast down. The history is loaded with great climbers getting caught up high and never returned down alive. Thank you for sharing!
OMG, congratulations on conquering Everest bro, that's quite an achievement, thanks a lot for sharing this video. So sad that it got very cloudy once you got to the summit, but hey, you were there. You got solid proof of that!
cheers from Mexico.
Every vlog was excellent. I'm looking forward to watch the number of views grow as time passes, and word gets out about your style/presentation and unique ability to balance cocky youth, with a distinct overtone of old soul patience and wisdom. This was incredibly well done.
Great description of Ryan!! ---> Old soul inhabiting a cocky teen 😂🎉
Congrats bro. This was a blast and honor to watch. looking forward to what you do next
I’ve watched hundreds of videos of Everest and yours is the finest!
Amazing accomplishment and video! Thanks for taking us along!
The sherpa guiding down the mountain wasnt fcking around lol. I think he was making sure to get you out of potential dangerous weather shift. Awesome journey
Congraturlation Ryan. Thank you so much for inviting us all to follow your journey. You rock!!!!
Your Sherpa is going fast because he knows the weather is turning a bit, and that most accidents happen on the way down!
He is basically getting out of dodge :D
Thank you for sharing your journey. Amazing experience and well done on reaching the top, and getting back in one piece to tell the tale!!
Congratulations and thank you too , as we felt like we were with you
Beautiful sharing
Ryan, this is the greatest footage of climbing that final ridge, let's say from the South summit all the way to the top. Thanks for that, and congrats to your success.
That ridge line at 16:33 blew my mind!
Congratulations Ryan and thank you for taking us with you to the top of the world 🌍
That’s where 2 people died this year on the expedition I believe
Actually the best footage I've ever seen of a true Everest climb! Kudos!
Being Prepared, Persistence, and Fixed Lines are everything! Congrats on being fit both Mentally and Physically!!!
The view of the other mountains (that are insanely high as well) being below you is so amazing. Such a great insight into everything you see/do while summiting! Amazing job
Do you know why Sherpa was rushing to get back? The rush hour to the summit usually starts around 6-7am because most climbers wake up late. Sherpa wanted to help you avoid climbing over the amatuer and unprepared inbound climibers who get winded and hang on the ropes, creating the conga line. You're guides are true pros: getting you out of bed at 1am to get that morning summit and get you back down by noon while there was still light. You prepared well and being 19 makes you very resilient. Also, that 26 mile walk back to the village the other day served you well. By any standard, you were moving quite fast. Sherpa was only faster because it looks like he done it before and knew the way. Also, I think Sherpa has to recover and take others up after you go home?
I think he was moving quickly because Ryan was moving so well. He was probably happy to have such a smooth and easy assist.
Oh my gosh. I totally understand.
Or the shera needed a massive shit…. Both could b true
This was the best comment on this video.
Summit window 05/21 and 05/22. Ryan make late window. Few climbers and little traffic compared to the first window
This was wonderful footage. I love mountains but have no personal desire to climb them but I do enjoy climbing films and this particular one somehow felt like it immersed me in the actual climb and the environment.
Seeing the other mountain tops poke through the clouds was surreal…thanks for sharing your adventure.
Congratulations! Also, I am just in awe of the Sherpas. What they do is just incredible. When I saw that black rectangle I was like what's wrong with the... ohhhhhhh. This was a really fascinating set of videos to watch. I've never actually watched climbing videos like this before, really impressive.
Beautiful footage, thank you for sharing! The summit is, of course, only half way, so dropping some elevation quickly, but carefully, is invariably good practice. Getting out of hypoxia, cold, changing weather, ice fall, climber traffic, equipment failure, etc, exposure quickly is the best way to manage all of these risks, especially at extremely high altitude. Congratulations on the awesome summit!
Every corpse on Everest was once a highly motivated person
and low IQ
Or a highly suicidal one
1/3 of them were Sherpas who unfortunately died so that wealthy people could have a bucket list item to brag about at parties.
You mean STUPID!
Not heard that before
This is some of the best footage of the Mount Everest climb I've seen except of course for the IMAX documentary. This is quality stuff here.
These set of videos are the best quality I have ever seen of an ascent of Everest, this should be a full length film, stunning and thank you Ryan.
Thanks Ryan for sharing your journey. The quality of your video gave an "almost there" looking over your shoulder experience. One of the best vlogs of the whole Everest Challenge that I have seen. Congratulations to you and your entire team.
Thank you so much for letting my class be a part of your journey!!! They are going to fall over when they see this.
Well done, Ryan. I have loved following your journey. Thanks for sharing.
Congratz dude!!! This video i think the most complete on the RUclips to show from south col to the summit with few cuts. I watch this beautiful journey. I’m happy for the opportunity to follow this!! Ty
Congratulations Ryan!!! We have eagerly awaited this video for over a month.. Your well documented accomplishment is a glaring testament to all those who went before you who had limited knowledge and resources. When I was your age, the number 1 song at the end of the year was "Sugar, sugar" by the "Archies". We only had 35mm cameras and 8mm film which was black and white. All we knew about Mt Everest was the news reports of Sir Edmund Hillary. We had zero understanding of what he had accomplished. You are now a companion of some unbelievably brave men and women who have touched the top of the earth. May you cherish it for a lifetime. Good job!!
Congratulations! Glad to see you submitted in good health with plenty of energy in the tank. Thank you so much for documenting your journey with gorgeous video shots and commentary.
Look at those views... wow simply stunning. I love nature so much and want to see actual mountains so bad. Thanks for posting this!
The Sherpa meant the best for you by going down fast to avoid sudden bad weather change. This looked so scary especially going down but at the same time you guys made it up and down so easily. Congratulations! Glad you're all safe now🎊👏
Well done. Thanks for all the amazing footage. Easily the best and most complete set of videos i've seen from an Everest expedition.
🎉💃🏾 WOW! 19 Years Old!! So glad to virtually climb with you! Saw you on the news but still wanted to watch each video. CONGRATULATIONS!!😊😊😊
Thank you for taking us with you so we don't have to go! 😆This is amazing footage and I'm not even half way through and you answered already so many question, like how it works when someone comes down. Well, congrats to that trip!
Great Sherpa, making sure you live to tell this. Thank you.
This is the best footage I have ever seen of thee summit day. THANK YOU!
I would guess that sherpa knew you were strong on the ascent. And knew the descent was going to hurt. He acted as a rabbit & assistant. And got you down safely. Great Job!
Well done, but can you release some extended footage from the SouthSummit to the Summit and back ? any chance we can see the Sunrise ? :)
Yeh
I’ve watched tons of Everest documentaries done by super qualified and expensive film companies… this one BY FAR is the best!!! Really living it with you
Congratulations to you and the team....that was amazing. I have seen lots of footage of Everest, but somehow you made it seam more real....especially the views. Omg!! 9:50 What an incredible journey!! Thank you for taking us along. 💕
Well done. Honestly some of the best videos of Everest that I've ever seen. Glad you are back safe.
Such a great documentary of your summit; first person view and comments, unfiltered, just great to watch! Thanks a lot and huge congrats to you! Well done!
This must be one of the best videos on RUclips. Thank you for sharing this. No unnecessary emotional background soundtrack and commentary. Only adding important information when and where needed.
Sad to see deceased climbers near the top (I imagine the blacked out segment was for that?) and the amount of junk on the top.
Yeah. I watched it months ago when he was posting about it every day.
Congratulations. This has been the most awesome vlog I have ever followed.
Really enjoyed this video series, so many people don't show much on the way up or down. Everyone sitting on their couch loves to claim that Everest is easy and not a really mountain, and maybe comparably speaking it is, but these videos really give people a good sense that it is a major achievement, even if it is made as "easy" as possible. It's high, it's steep, it's cold, you have to unclip A LOT to get around people, etc.
Sherpas getting you down rapidly was a great safety strategy.
I agree. Going down is the most dangerous part of the trip. That Sherpa wants to get you back to camp four quick. You gotta move! That Sherpa knows the dangers and he’s trying to save your life.
This is what internet is made for. Thank you for taking us with you.
This vlog series has been amazing to watch, I really appreciate you taking the time to bring us along on your journey. Badass work on the climbing and videos. Shout out to you Ryan
What an amazing achievement & video. I know i will never see Everest, but thanks to you i just have from the safety of my lounge chair, just awesome ! Congrats & thanks for sharing !
I am so glad I watched this video. You had no idea how brutal it really is and how scary....when they unclipped to move around people and just in general made me so nervous. Great video.
Watched entire series. Congrats, you killed it!! Crazy I teared up with you. Absolutely beautiful video…best I’ve seen❤
CONGRATULATIONS RYAN. what an effort, you deserve it and soak it all in my friend... well done and thank you for taking us along the journey for 40 days to your summit and journey to the top of the earth.. well done...
also this was some scary footage, i was sweating from my house for you. well done...
Fabulous footage! I’ve seen a lot of documentaries and films, but never anything like this so close to the summit am on the Summit. At one point I actually gasped! Really spectacular. Congratulations on your success.
This is best video I ever see from Mt Everest. Camp 4 to Summit and back to camp 4 Unbelievable. Thank you very much and congratulations on Summiting top of Mt Everest.
Congratulations, Ryan! This is the best and most comprehensive video of the climb I’ve ever seen. I love how raw it is. Thanks for doing it!
agree 100%. he did a superb job throughout. (not gonna lie - I thought it was a big mistake when he decided to trek the 26km to that village after his initial acclimatization. He became ill just after that. BUT, all is well, that ends well, I guess).
