Mt Everest South Approach and North Approach Long
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 мар 2021
- My goal was to climb Mt. Everest by both the South approach in Nepal and the North approach in Tibet. On my second attempt, at age 67, I reached the summit from the South approach on May 23, 2009, becoming the oldest American to reach the summit and return alive. After four attempts, at age 72, I reached the summit from the North approach on May 25, 2014. I broke my 2009 record and became the oldest person living outside of Asia to reach the summit.This video documents those two climbs.
I have posted two versions of the Mt. Everest South Approach and North Approach video. One vision is titled "Mt. Everest South Approach and North Approach" and includes just the climbs of Mt. Everest from those two approaches. This version, titled "Mt. Everest South Approach and North Approach Long," is slightly longer because it includes the 35-mile trek to Base Camp on the South Approach.
For more information on the South and North approaches, and my assessment of which approach is the most difficult, visit my website: eightsummits.com/mt-everest/.
Well put together.It gives an ordinary person idea,what it is UP THERE like.
Many thanks for the effort!
Breathtaking pics and videos.
Wow Amazing video first time I am seeing north side on video..I have been watching all video I can on Mountain Everest!! She has captivated me..I can only imagine how you felt being there in person.. Congrats and thank you for sharing your journey..
Thanks for sharing! Great video and an amazing accomplishment.
My respect for you sr ...amazing views from the north approach. Thanks
Thanks sir for this great video, I appreciate your great efforts, you are a great man, I follow you from Iraq
Thanks for sharing your journeys! It’s truly amazing what you’ve been able to accomplish!
Thank you Bill Burke!
Thanks for sharing your journey. Climbing Mount Everest is also one of my dreams and I wish I could but I don't think I can climb it. But I will trek to the Everest Base Camp for sure.
Same
I realize I am pretty off topic but does anybody know a good place to watch newly released series online ?
@Augustus Edgar I watch on FlixZone. Just search on google for it =)
@Ledger Erik definitely, I have been watching on FlixZone for months myself :D
@Ledger Erik thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it !!
@37:02 there's a bird at camp 3 during the storm.
:} you're welcome if that's what you were looking for
ps: thanks for sharing your videos, congratulations on your records, wish you all the best
Great accomplishment!!To think Mallory and Irvine did this part (or somewhere in the area) on the way back, in the dark, without lamps, without oxygen and basically in boxer shorts is incomprehensible. No wonder that a minor misstep was made.
In boxer shorts? And I think they also had oxygen. I found some information on Mallory's clothing on a website called welldresseddad dot com. ( I dont know if I can leave links here) Search Mallory Jacket. There's also a photo of them taking off for the summit and they are carrying bottles of oxygen.
Un abrazo amigos ,y lloré de ver tanta belleza en la cima ,ya veo porque tanto sacrificio por solo un momento de belleza ,lo vale ,es sentirse en la cima del mundo,y el vídeo está tan bien hecho que pareciera que yo estuve ahí con ustedes , como se sentía el viento,como se veían las nubes , hermoso 🙏🇨🇱🗻😘🎉🎊🍀😘😚😙💨🙌⛷️🎊🎉🎈🎇🎆🇨🇱
It must have been a warm day. No gloves taking pictures.
What was the main reason earlier attempts were unsuccessful? What did you learn?
Does anyone know if they stick to fixed ropes at all times or check out surrounding areas? Or even around the camps? Just wondering.
Fixed ropes at all time while climbing. Fixed ropes are not needed while exploring in safe areas around the camps.
My Everest journey would stop at the rope bridge, absolutely no way.
Awesome.
I'm jealous.
I know right...wish I could do it.
Great video of the north side. Thank You🙏🏻
Hello Sir, which side did you like better? Alot of people like the south better but I think the North is amazing
Thanks Amy. I have a daughter whose maiden name is Amy Burke.
You have asked a really good question, and I don't have a good answer. Asking my preference concerning South vs North is a little like asking which of my 4 children I love the most. The South Approach and the North Approach are very different. See eightsummits.com/mt-everest/ I think I prefer the North Approach because (i) the views of the mountain are better, (ii) the North Approach is less crowded and (iii) the North Approach is more challenging. Despite this personal preference, I always recommend the South Approach to first-time climbers because the 35-mile trek to Base Camp is, by itself, worth the trip to Nepal even if the traveler is not planning to attempt to climb Mt. Everest. Also, rescue attempts for climbers who are sick or injured are available on the South Approach, but not on the North Approach. See link above. This year, climbers do not have a choice because China has closed the North Approach.
@@eightsummits why they closed it ???
@@ghostsimone8691 COVID-19 is the stated reason.
@@ghostsimone8691 Politics.It's not first time.
@@GorskiNunavut And yet, during the Beijing Olympics, they carried the olympic torch through the South (Nepalese side) closing down the mountain for a few days to all the other expeditions. Because Nepal has become a vassal of China, even without a military invasion.
Yeaaa.. I know the souther route is “easier” if you can call it that. But, I wouldn’t want to deal with the ice falls. Sketch city..
23:06 thank god, there was a flatscreen in the base camp :)
🤣 Thought the same. And ladders all the way up too...
This is the first year climbers on the north face walked by green boots cave and found he was no longer there. Was hoping he was going to film that. There is one video on here that they did film and showed he was gone.
I don't like wind...
Is Camp 3 on a glacier? Khumbo glaciar? It is dangerios?
Yes, Khumbu Glacier. Very steep, icy & dangerous.
@@eightsummits thanks for answer 😀
Krishna murari singh kisan village Barma po kaithma district Sheikhpura Bihar India.
9:30 nop, koodos to all the climbers. not for me
The Sherpa is true, the others merely wannabes.
That dog looks pro too. No gear no ropes
I just understand why so much rubbish is left on the mountain. Please god the people who lrun big expeditions in the mother goddess of the world wake up to the realisation that they are causing a problem
sorry y'all are just in it for the money at this point ! in my opinion. beautiful scenery though
So, you’re interested in Everest because of the beautiful scenery,
yet the others who are fascinated by it are just greedy🤔?
Strange logic I quite don’t understand
@@holyfox94 I like the mountains whats so hard to understand?
@@holyfox94 let's see if you're paying or taking money from climbers just too climb for the hell of it and people die yeah greedy and stupid at the same time just my opinion
@@wantsacobra they don't earn money from this, they have to PAY 60k to climb!
@@purpledragonfly4 proves my point
Using ladders is ridiculous. Climb the dam* mountain. If you can't, don't do it.
