It's been roughly 10 years since I've made it to the top of Everest, not a day goes by where i don't stop to think of how amazing I felt when I was standing on the top.
Y'know, as a middle school kid I remember watching National Geographic together with my mother. It was about Mount Everest. At some point throughout the documentary I half-seriously said that I could do it. Not right then and there, of course, but eventually... with enough growing up and training. I still remember to this day how hard she had laughed me down. Not only was I demotivated to even climb anything at all ever again, barely even a tree, but 20 years later now I still haven't even bothered trying to accomplish anything, except to not make that very same mistake with my kids. I literally haven't developed any real skills, but when it comes down to my children and partner, for probably this reason, I'm absolutely dedicated to making them feel like they can be anything that they set their mind to. So tragic how that works.
Beautiful story that you’re just there to encourage them and help them find what they enjoy and are passionate about. as someone who has such parents I can say I’ve been incredibly lucky and that you’re doing a great job 👍🏼
Anything at all, as long as I convince myself I can do it? Many, many, many people cannot climb Mt Everest or play a violin or become a pro athlete and many other things, not because they don't believe but because they are realistic.
Climbed in '96 and there were only 6 people with us our group. There is NOTHING to compare the moment you reach the top and take it all in. Wish there was a way to go back without all the work of actually getting there. I was so exhausted from the climb and the cold that I really couldn't enjoy the moment.
I remember how it felt when i stand on the tip of Mt Everest. The feeling of achievement and I felt that i could overcome anything. There is nothing compared to how much i endured throughout the whole climb. And the next moment, my mom wakes me up for school.
The crowding is shameful. Nepal needs to put a strict limit on the number of climbers. If that means they have to raise their fee in order to still make the money they need to make off the mountain, so be it. People are dying because of overcrowding and because they are going up without sufficient preparation. Nepal needs to prioritize safety more.
I don't think it's the death part, it's that there's basically no challenge in it anymore and it lost it's charm, nowadays you can (with enough money) get someone to, almost literally, carry you up even if you have 0 experience.
The trouble is that would mean less revenue, Trevor, and Nepal simply won't do that unless some outside force compels them. Their economy is reliant on the wads of tourist dough they rake off climbers. It's not realistic to expect them to decrease their revenue off it. The only way to ensure less crowding and more well-prepared expeditions is to increase the per-climber fee. That way Nepal will still make the same overall revenue (after supply and demand weeds out the poorer expeditions).
@@nfinn42 Rake? Rake? Those people are poor AF. I personally know a Sherpa who moved here because a rich family sponsored his family. His father worked as a guide for Everest because he needed to feed his kids. If you ask me, he was underpaid for risking his life to help climbers fulfill their wildest dreams.
why? gets rid of more arrogant people. let them die. every individual climbing that mountain is doing so over the blood of all the people that couldn't make it. they are all heartless egomaniacal narcissistic scum.
treebeard Its a well known risk that accidents happen at any moment. Everyone who goes there accepts that or else they shouldn't be there. But i wouldn't go judging them just because they try something risky. Unless they have a family of their own. My dream is to one day attempt Everest if i can ever fund it. But i would do so before i start a family.
+Fraiture imagine being able to say you've been on top of the world? As a mountain climber my self, its the sense of achievement of reaching the top. The view, and sharing it with friends. Once you do something extreme and get a bit of a kick out of it it becomes a drug and keeps you coming back for more Much better than getting wrecked in ibiza listening to shit music. Depends on what fun is.
Its been one week since i've made it to the top of Toubkal the highest mountain in north Africa 4167m and im here watching the documentary after seeing the movie .. OMG i adore mountains
Guess it's time for a heated cable car all the way up.... complete with heater, oxygen and snacks. On the summit the Sherpas could have a pressurized dome and sell T-shirts and hot chocolate.
+PintoBlades technology man. It's so powerful, it beats anything else. You could build a great machine that would get you to the top while you drink coffe and watch TV. Now some will say, that's not the point in doing something like this but whatever.
+Molhedim I'd take the Everest chair lift rather than climb. Looking down at dead bodies and miserable cold people climbing while I'm smoking a joint and sipping Starbucks in the Gondola lol
I could never climb Mount Everest. I can’t stand cold temperatures. Plus it’s dangerous and a long hard physical and mental journey. I still love the mountain though. A true majestic beauty.
Okay those saying shit about climbing Mt.Everest aren't climbers. They don't know how it feels to stand on top of a summit of a mountain. No matter how tall the peak is. It is a amazing feeling. It doesn't just take some stamina. It takes classes and tons and tons of experience climbing loads of 6,000m + mountains. Yes, you can call us crazy for wanting to spend 100,000+ dollars on climbing Everest. But in the end, it is the best experience in the world to be standing on top of the mountain. On top of the world. How many people can get to say that? We mountain climbers live for this kind of stuff and thrill.
$100,000?? On what?! Do you have to pay for permission or something? I've been climbing my whole life and have put plenty of money into training and conditioning (though for another reason) and wanted to try Everest by the time I was 30 or so...but I don't think I'll ever have that kind of money lol. Just paying off my student loans is a bitch! I guess it would sort of make sense - being smart and working hard isn't enough to get a degree. Dedication = $$ Why would anything else be different :/ Sad :/ Still curious what it is exactly that people pay $100K on. Oh yeah - will say that I totally agree. Reaching the top of any mountain, looking down, waiting for sunrise, and just taking everything in is the most awesome feeling ever :) Seeing the night sky from so high up is one of my favorite parts too.
I climbed Mount Everest but my team wasn't up for the challenge, so when we 80% to the top we gave up because it was really dangerous and our oxygen tanks were running out.
Sounds like the rambling bravado of a 13 year old. So, no, I don't believe you even know where Katmandu is. When you get back to class ask your teacher how you can augment your writing skills and thanks for playing anyway.
reminds me of the movie "The Beach". you go to Everest to get away from people and society but it follows you and there you are waiting in fucking line on mt. everest like a car in traffic. people are a virus lol
Depuis que j'ai vu le film "éverest", je regarde beaucoup de vidéos sur youtube concernant cette ascension et je vois énormément de monde sur les cordes, c'est l'embouteillage! Voilà pourquoi l'ascension du Mont Blanc va devenir payante!!!! Tout paraît accessible à qui sait mettre le prix!!!
What perfect conditions to summit Everest, how fortunate. Once one gets to the South Col, it's a matter of luck whether, after many weeks of hard slog acclimatising, the conditions are suitable to make a summit attempt. As Thomas Hornbein said (first to summit via the West Ridge) ; "We couldn't come back for another try next weekend." Why, when so many are making a summit attempt (over 70 people at the same time?) are there not 2 fixed lines? The 2nd line could be used by descenders as the slowest are still moving up? Bottlenecks caused by slower climbers, was one of the main causes of the 1996 tragedy. Time was a huge issue. Had there been 2 fixed lines, climbers would've been back in their tents on the South Col well before the storm hit. Why haven't they learnt from this disaster? Although I do understand at high altitude that physical exertion is all but impossible, couldn't bodies be lowered into crevasses as their final resting place? Stepping over bodies that are frozen into place, like Rob Hall at the South Summit, just seems so incredibly disrespectful. Shit, were it I, I'd prefer my body to be pushed over the edge, down several thousand meters into Tibet.
If you listen to the sentence before that, she explains that she was fed up with waiting in line, and all She meant was she wanted to get the f up there.
The odd thing is that everyone knows it's crowded so they sign up and then complain about how many people there are. There are so many mountains that no one climbs but people don't go there and the reason they don't is because no one else is there. With Everest, people want to climb it so they can tell others they did it. If they climbed the 8th highest mountain in the world, which very few have heard about, no one would care so they don't do it. The reality is that people do things so they can tell others about it and to check off a box on their to do list. I would have far more appreciation for someone who says they aren't going to Everest because of the crowds but because they love to climb, they will go up a mountain in Nepal that no one has heard about. They do it for the love of the sport and for their own challenge. I have zero sympathy for people complaining about the crowds. It was their choice to go.
Well said. There are many climbers who do climb the other challenging mountains for the sport of it alone. Mt. Everest has become a name-dropping spectacle.
you have to respect the mountain to climb the mountain. you have to wake up at usually 4:00 am and go through the cressavas people hate to go across them knowing that you can fall and die. and you have to go through 5 camps to reach the summit it is scary to climb. I hate the feeling of when you are climbing the ice fall . I know what it feels like it have done it
Reaching the top of Everest all depends on the weather and IF you're good at passing scores of painfully SLOW climbers, many of whom have no business on the mountain. With good weather it's not terribly difficult for an experienced climber to reach the Summit of Everest by 11:00 AM (from the South Col) if not earlier, which is the easy part. The trick is getting back down as you must pass large numbers of climbers still trying to reach the Summit or descending very slowly.
I heard somewhere the person wrapped in the Canadian flag is a woman .The mountain is powerful and all that crowding is extremely dangerous .Weather conditions can change very quickly ! There are strict rules that need to be followed and no one even the best climbers are invincible to the weather conditions as per the 1996 disaster where Hall and Fisher were lost both very experienced Everest climbers along with many others of their group.
Funny how someone who is in line complains about too many people in line. These hippie "rebel" climbers think they somehow own it. They never show you the mountains of shit and trash. Never see a line cleaning it up.
gimpfantasyleague wht bunch of BS... With the money almost anyone could... I had flatmate that did it... Had pics and all... He was no big shot at all...
I'm watching tv about the quake in Nepal and a man with 3 children decided to climb Mount Everest. If you have children, you OWE it to them to stay alive because you decided to have them. They need and deserve to have a daddy around. If you are thinking of doing something life threatening like climbing a mountain, DON'T. What does your wife tell your children when you die. Well Daddy wanted to climb a mountain and he died. I call that a selfish need to satisfy not to mention stupid. If you need adventure, then do something reasonably safe.
I've just watched the original BBC footage from the time itself, in 1953, when a considerable team endeavour put Tensing and Hillary on the summit - you are treated to a documentary with no overwhelming cinematic music, no sound bites, no New Age cliches such as "I dunno, it's just like there's an energy out there?" Instead, you see the spirit of the amateur age and selflessness, the solidarity of the team as opposed to this adolescent obsession of "me, me!" which we have to contend with in this day and age. The Everest story closed with that 1953 chapter, and everything since then has amounted to nothing more than a series of cheapskate sequels of rapidly diminishing returns both in merit and interest.
Everest has lost whatever magic and mystery it once had as a difficult mountain to climb. Sad. It has become a heavily littered, heavily traveled, hiking trail up what once was a magnificent mountain which deserved all peoples' respect and humility. Perhaps many of these "climbers" could be utilized to bring down some of the litter which has accumulated over the past 50 or so years. And these traffic jams on the mountain have created serious situations and will continue unless dealt with.
Please. You demonstrate and announce to the world your ignorance by your shallow words. I beg you to bring your collection bag and trek forth to gather trash and soon you will struggle just to breathe. Lead the way!
Are you sure this is from 2008? I thought the Nepalese gov't shut down the south side route for the season at the request of the Chinese gov't to accommodate the Olympic torch relay on the north side.
I knew it would cost money to climb but 100,000??? These rich guided "climbers" who go in bunches and pay six digits are ruining the majesty of this mountain. Now it's turned in to a tourist attraction and apparently a big money grab. Really disappointing to hear.
***** Its not 100,000. more around 65-70k. but that is still a lot of money. I would personally do it if i can ever fund it. But Dont just think any rich person can do this. Very common misconception. It takes years and years of experience with mountaineering. I have a cousin who tried and had to turn around on the 2nd step before the summit, because his friend got frostbitten. He lost all of his fingers on his left hand.
RikkiTikkiTavi i climbed, but heroin waaay beetter high, and exp... On lsd too better exp than climbing... So u talking shit... U r not special, and ur point is TOTALLY subjective..
For pure laughs, I'd rate this video as better than a Laurel and Hardy film: Hordes of tourists parting with thousands of dollars, using all the technological shortcuts of the current age, queueing up like bleating sheep at a dip tank, trudging determinedly past corpses killed not by Everest but by their own egos, just so that they can take one of those "selfies" and say "This is me, I did it, me oh lovely me!" ( along with a vast flock of like-mindless suckers in the immediate background ). My grandmother could do this, and all with a shrug of her shoulders. You can keep your Everest summittings, your Disneyland day trips with the kids and your Caribbean cruises with air-conditioned cabins

+soulrful terrain Chuck Norris carries the sherpas up to summit on he's back.
lol
+soulrful terrain Wrong Everest jogs Chuck Norris.
+soulrful terrain Let me guess, Bill "Superfoot" Wallace was waiting for him at the top.
Wrong! Chuck Norris farted so Mt. Everest was formed.
Why did they end the footage of them on the summit so fast
The ladder part in the movie omg
Think about how they handled that BEFORE a sherpa carried a ladder up there.
watched this again 5thsept 2021
time goes by and I didnt climb the everest yet
Nice vedio
any videos of climbers coming back down on these mountains???!!!!
Funny how someone who is in line complains about too many people in line. These hippie "rebel" climbers think they somehow own it. They never show you the mountains of shit and trash. Never see a line cleaning it up.
I totally agree, where the shit they leave and now that 1000's have done it in one season, what's the trash like?
+Tina Denning Thousands of people climbing it a season is a gross overstatement. Only like 4,000 people have ever climbed it in history.
gimpfantasyleague wht bunch of BS... With the money almost anyone could... I had flatmate that did it... Had pics and all... He was no big shot at all...
Just got back was a good climb
I'm watching tv about the quake in Nepal and a man with 3 children decided to climb Mount Everest. If you have children, you OWE it to them to stay alive because you decided to have them. They need and deserve to have a daddy around. If you are thinking of doing something life threatening like climbing a mountain, DON'T. What does your wife tell your children when you die. Well Daddy wanted to climb a mountain and he died. I call that a selfish need to satisfy not to mention stupid. If you need adventure, then do something reasonably safe.
+BigBirdy100 In 2010 I believe it was a 13 year old boy made it all the way up and down. Anew record for the youngest to ever climb the mountain.
true
I've just watched the original BBC footage from the time itself, in 1953, when a considerable team endeavour put Tensing and Hillary on the summit - you are treated to a documentary with no overwhelming cinematic music, no sound bites, no New Age cliches such as "I dunno, it's just like there's an energy out there?" Instead, you see the spirit of the amateur age and selflessness, the solidarity of the team as opposed to this adolescent obsession of "me, me!" which we have to contend with in this day and age. The Everest story closed with that 1953 chapter, and everything since then has amounted to nothing more than a series of cheapskate sequels of rapidly diminishing returns both in merit and interest.
How many times have you climbed Everest?
kind of sad how Everest has changed though. as the man himself Reinhold Messner said "Everest these days is a hike in thin air"
good documentation …….
Everest has lost whatever magic and mystery it once had as a difficult mountain to climb. Sad. It has become a heavily littered, heavily traveled, hiking trail up what once was a magnificent mountain which deserved all peoples' respect and humility. Perhaps many of these "climbers" could be utilized to bring down some of the litter which has accumulated over the past 50 or so years. And these traffic jams on the mountain have created serious situations and will continue unless dealt with.
How about you go up there and do it yourself? Lead by example
Please. You demonstrate and announce to the world your ignorance by your shallow words. I beg you to bring your collection bag and trek forth to gather trash and soon you will struggle just to breathe. Lead the way!
Are you sure this is from 2008? I thought the Nepalese gov't shut down the south side route for the season at the request of the Chinese gov't to accommodate the Olympic torch relay on the north side.
Li-Lan Cheng I'm pretty sure Harrington climbed it in 2012? So this would be from then, right?
mount everest situated in nepal n buddha was borned in nepal those two things mailny introduce nepal in the world .nice video thnx uploader
Wow! And i see no curve again!
Hi guys I just came back from Mt Everest. Fixed some ropes. Smoked some weed, had a beer slushy. Gotta hit the gym in the am.
I knew it would cost money to climb but 100,000??? These rich guided "climbers" who go in bunches and pay six digits are ruining the majesty of this mountain. Now it's turned in to a tourist attraction and apparently a big money grab. Really disappointing to hear.
***** Its not 100,000. more around 65-70k. but that is still a lot of money. I would personally do it if i can ever fund it. But Dont just think any rich person can do this. Very common misconception. It takes years and years of experience with mountaineering. I have a cousin who tried and had to turn around on the 2nd step before the summit, because his friend got frostbitten. He lost all of his fingers on his left hand.
M Labelle its the new disneyland of the bored and lazy...
That's where lots of locals earn money
All the comments about Everest not being a cool experience are clearly those who have no idea what climbing is like.
RikkiTikkiTavi i climbed, but heroin waaay beetter high, and exp... On lsd too better exp than climbing... So u talking shit... U r not special, and ur point is TOTALLY subjective..
what is this, a North Face commercial?
In your life, you have your own Mt. Everest to conquer - figuratively speaking.
236 what a shot
Wow my Canada team :) :)
I WANT TO SUMMIT THE MT.EVEREST....BCOZ MT.EVEREST IS MY DEAR LOVE...AND I LOVE VERY MUCH MY LOVE...!*
how many days does it take to reach mt everest?
There's those that sit on top of the world and others who state they stand on it
Masha Allah
I'm back in Detroit all my friends said how does it feel to climb Everest I told them it feels exited
@@DavidF9511 Bwahahaha. It didn't do much for his English composition, either. High altitude brain damage, perhaps?
Someday... Someday!
How can one physically dislike this video???
i think coming up with 70k of disposable funds is more impressive than actually summiting Everest
Красиво!
И страховито!
Are those lights going up to the summit real thing or what!
For pure laughs, I'd rate this video as better than a Laurel and Hardy film: Hordes of tourists parting with thousands of dollars, using all the technological shortcuts of the current age, queueing up like bleating sheep at a dip tank, trudging determinedly past corpses killed not by Everest but by their own egos, just so that they can take one of those "selfies" and say "This is me, I did it, me oh lovely me!" ( along with a vast flock of like-mindless suckers in the immediate background ). My grandmother could do this, and all with a shrug of her shoulders. You can keep your Everest summittings, your Disneyland day trips with the kids and your Caribbean cruises with air-conditioned cabins
We went 4 years ago but didn't climb all the way, next year we are going back and going to the top
You hope. Good luck.
They should put a shopping mall on top or a restaurant
dont forget mantion that climb to Everest cost from 65k to 100k $.
