- My successful Solo no supplemental oxygen summit climb of Mount Lhotse, with 8516m the fourth highest mountain in the world.
Did you ever wonder how it is possible to climb 8000ers without supplmental oxygen? They magic formula is: Time, Time, Time and once again Time! We are human beings and not machines. You cant speed up the process of acclimatization, but be gentle and patient and give your body enough time to adept. There are so many processes happening at once, the pressure in our cavities is changing, our cell composition is changing and adapting, the amount of water and water usage of our body is readjusting, the amount of red blood cells / hemaglobin is changing, our lungs are adapting their oxygen capacity and many more things we dont even understand yet are all happening at the same time.
So we need a lot of time to adept to these extreme altitudes with their low atmospheric pressure. Once you reached a good base acclimatization you can improve your acclimatization by putting some stress on your cardio vascular system with trail runs and exercises at high altitude. After that you can start your rotations to higher camps which I will explain in the next video!
This video shows how I trained, prepared and how much time I spend up there in order to successfully climb Lhtose 2 Months later!
Your Norrdine NouarLast year I successfully climbed Lhotse, with 8516m meters the fourth highest mountain on the planet right next to Mount Everest. On summit day the 21st of May 2023, I was completely alone and by myself in the couloir, I did not see a singe soul that day, had the summit all for myself and it felt like a real solo, on top of that I was the only climber to summit Lhotse without oxygen in that year. This mountain is often called Everests little brother and kinda unknown to most people. Lhotse shares the same identical route with mount Everest all the way up to Camp 4 at 7700 meters. Your Basecamp is Everest Basecamp, you have to climb through the Khumbu Icefall to Camp 1 and 2 as if you would climb Everest. To reach Camp 3 at 7100 meters you have to climb the incredibly huge and steep Lhotse face together with the Everest contenders and climb across the Yellow Band. To reach the summit you have to climb through the Lhotse couloir, a very steep and 800meter long line of, rock, ice and snow. Lhotse is one of the big five and therefore extremely challenging and exhausting to reach without supplemental oxygen!
It was my very first 8000er experience and I did not know how my body would react in the death zone at all! To be completely honest with you I was scared and frightened to the bone to enter the Death Zone, since I heard so many stories and I knew so many non oxygen climbers died there, suffer HAPE or HACE and just disappear forever.
Because of that I trained and prepared like a mad man! I did not want to leave any room for errors or chances, so I made sure to have the possibly best acclimatization I could get! That is why I already traveled up to the Solo Khumbu in the beginning of March and started my acclimatization phase. My primary goal was to spend as much time there as possible so my body can adapt slowly. I read a lot about the human physiology and acclimatization and how to prepare for it. I stumbled across Ueli Stecks and David Göttlers strategy to train and Trail Run at 4000 and 5000 meters, to strengthen the cardiovascular system and to acclimatize even more. So I copied their strategy and did the same!
This video shows the beginning of my acclimatization in the Solo Khumbu and how I spend my time in Mount Everest Basecamp!
This is my successful climb of Lhotse 8516m, the fourth highest mountain on the planet right next to Mount Everest solo withou oxygen in 2023.
This is my very first 8000er I attempt after 13 years of preperation and intense solo experiences as a mountaineer.
In this video I will show you my acclimatization phase before I even approach the mountain and the basecamp. I will take you from Kathmandu to Lukla, Namche Bazaar and across the Three passes trek to all the tiny little villages and towns. I take you along with me over the Three Passes namely Ranjo La Pass, Cho La Pass and Kongma La Pass.
This is the first time I’ve actually sent money to anyone like this, but I keep watching these over and over and it’s just beyond amazing. I hope you make many more summits to come. 🙏🏻
Damn that’s big you’re a kind person ❤❤❤
Hey @rossvinstein1112, Thank you so much for your nice comment and your generous donation! When I started mountaineering it was also a big dream of mine to stay on an 8000er one day, solo and without oxygen all by myself! This dream seemed so far, that I was never really sure if I would be able to reach my dream and achieve this goal, since it is not so easy to acquire the skills, the knowledge, the physique, the mental strength and also find the time and money to do all these things in order to reach the summit! Thank you for your support! Your kind words, your enthusiasm and your support help me to reach for new heights!
@@norrdinenouar It’s my pleasure. I grew up backpacking and rock climbing in the Sierra Nevada in California and was fortunate enough to go on a trek to Kashmir and Ladakh when I was 16 (this is back in the mid 80s), where I was able to see K2 from a 6000m pass. It was truly transformative and I had fantasies of becoming a mountaineer. That dream was never fully realized in me, but that trip was very much a seminal experience. Stumbling across your videos, which was totally random, has evoked a lot of emotion in me and the purity of your passion is really inspiring and just plain fun to watch.
I hope that mountaineering swings back to your approach and again, wish you all the best. You’ve earned some sponsorship and I hope you’re able to grow your channel more and hopefully, catch some attention that will help you to continue to actualize your dreams, man! ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
59% oxygen is crazy. My son has asthma and is completely broken down when he's in the high 80's.
yeah, 59% is concerning but only at sea level. Due to the amount of Red Blood Cells and hemoglobin we can deal with these concentrations just fine. But it takes some time to get your body ready to do that.
@@norrdinenouardon’t some sherpas climb at 30% oxygen?
@@Slipzedits yes some people have climbed everest without additional oxygen, top of everest is about 1/3 of the oxygen at sea level I think
the top of the everest and at sea level the percent of oxygen is about the same, 21%, but way less oxygen molecules up dare as well as nitrogen and the rest...
@@Azurie-e9s There is 1/3 of the oxygen for the same volume, the pressure is porportional to the concentration of the gas.
Amazing Nor. I was on the edge of my seat. I can tell you have a kind soul. May your angels always be beside you. You are truly an inspiration. You smiled through it all. Wow
Thank you so much! I am excited to hear, that just the camera footage put you on the edge of your seat. But I can tell you it was a very intense climb and I was very very very afraid of the Death Zone. Haha you noticed the smiles... I was even surprised myself, when Taka sent me the video of Camp 4 in the South Col when I cheered to him with my cup of tea and still smiled. We had super bad sleep, it was extremely cold and without oxygen at 7950m you just suffer sooooo much, you can not even imagine how weak your body feels up there.
Once a year I have this habit of watching people climbing mount Everest and the other eight-thousanders, so imma give Nouar 2024.
Every video is captivating, oozing with quality and also tickling the part of me who wants to climb every big ass mountain after I trained and acclimatize to a level I won’t even need supplemental oxygen. Most people die on their decent if bad weather hits and they run out of the cold-sweet oxygen they were sipping. So it is even a bigger achievement if you can do it without a supplemental oxygen, one less system to fail and more efficient body at sea level. Endorphins flying everywhere, if you feel ok up that hight, you gonna feel amazing in lower altitude. Long story short, congrats brother. You give a good image for a sports who’s loosing its prestige to “likes and follow worshippers” heheh. They’re on top of Everest and still worried about what a random person behind screen thinks of em, a lot of young people loosing their lives in the act of impressing a stranger. Thanks for sharing, I’ll start taking my hobbies seriously from now, and push it to a level that I won’t need oxygen 💪🏽. All luv from🇨🇦
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words! I am glad, that my journey inspired you to train for high mountains aswell. You are right, climbing without oxygen might be dangerous but if you are very careful and take a conservative approach you can climb without oxygen in a very safe way in my opinion. You have to know and listen to your body though.
I try to show the world of moutnaineering and especially the high altitude mountaineering on 8000ers that it is possible to climb in a reduced and respectful way in symbiosis with nature and these beautiful formations of rock and ice. I hope that more people return to this style.
Thank you for your excitement and for cheering me on! Greetings to CA!
Wow, solo! I can't imagine how strong you are mentally. Can't describe the amount of respect I'm having for you
Beautiful video. Charming music and editing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Incredible! Having Lhotse all to yourself, what a dream! So glad I stumbled upon your videos, good luck with your next objective!
It was phenomenal, I was the only person on the mountain and in the couloir that day, so it felt like a real solo! I did not see a single person that day and in fact, I was the only climber in that year who managed to summit Lhotse without oxygen.
@@norrdinenouarSo cool man, thanks for making a video
Wow! Sehr sehr tolles Video! Toll wie du das durchgezogen hast! Ich wünsche dir das beste und freue mich auf weitere Videos!
Congratulations on an epic summit! Thanks for documenting, editing and sharing your adventure! It is an amazing story.
Thx! Glad you enjoyed it!
What a great adventure you had man. You did something most could or wouldn’t attempt. Hats off! I’ll tell my kids about this journey of yours one day.
Greetings from San Diego, Calif, USA. Dude, you got stones man, that was a bold and very entertaining presentation. Glad you made it back and will watch your other adventures from the comfort of my couch at home!
Congratulations- what a fantastic achievement and thank you for sharing it with us all.
Thank you so much for your comment! I will continue to share my journey with you!
Really cool video, great achievment. Feeling sorry/sad for your friend taka, but also reminder about harsh reality and why it is not easy.
It seems to me you meet a lot of good people climbing up a mountain! You keep climbing and I'll keep watching . Good luck on your next adventure ❤
Well Taka is also what I call a "True Mountaineer" he is a mountain guide himself and very very experienced and usually also climbs solo without oxygen. He did not want to risk his life though and had to start using oxygen at 7900m. He even climbs in oldschool gear from the 30s and 70s and already climbed 5 of the 7 summits. What I want to say is we "True Mountaineering Souls" have a lot in common. We love the mountains, we love to explore our limits, we have a certain way to deal with stress and problems and we have a huge appreciation for life and are thankful for the small things and joys and many many more things.
It’s sooo nice to see these videos from actual climbers . I’ve been watching the climbing disaster videos for a while and this is a nice refresher 👍
Was ein heftiger Typ! Glückwunsch!!!!
Haha, dank dir! Alles Training und Disziplin :D
@@norrdinenouar Mir mangelt es an Geld, das hast du vergessen. ;)
Glückwunsch, tolle Leistung! Ich beneide dich ein wenig.
20 tausend euro zusammen zu kriegen ist sehr viel einfacher als der Rest ^^.
@@DjhiseMise Selbst der Cho Oyu kostet um die 30k.
@@Wohlstandsmuell Ich sehe relativ viele Angebote unter 20k im Internet. Aber auch 30k zu verdienen sind einfacher als so einen Berg ohne zugesetzten Sauerstoff zu besteigen.
Really enjoying following your adventures!
Thank you for following my adventure! It keeps me hyped to upload these videos!
Great video, Norrdine! Once again, thank you for taking us with you. I enjoyed your German speaking part (even tho I can't understand it, lol English & Spanish here) Congratulations on your 1K subscribers, I started following you at 200 and I have loved seeing the numbers growing! You should do a live to celebrate! 🎉
Thank you! I actually was thinking about it what I should do for the 1000 celebration. Maybe a live is a good idead :D
what a hero!! thanks so much for sharing the journey with us, my eyes welled up when it cut to you on the summit
Beautiful vid sir 👍👍two thumbs up
Two at once? 😅Many many thanks
Outstanding! You are an inspiration, be safe and good luck for your next expeditions!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Next expedition will hopefully be Pakistan!
Great stuff, amazing. I trekked to EBC 2 years ago. This brings such great memories of the amazing mountains. Glad you you made it back safely. Thank you for the video.
Yeah the Solo Khumbu is just beautiful! Happy that you enjoyed the video!
Very cool and a massive effort! Congratulations on the summit. I dream of summiting Lhotse one day.
Would love to watch in full but have to go to bed . Will look forward to watching tomorrow 🏴
Enjoy!
I dream of being able to do this with oxygen, let alone without! Impressive work! Well done!
Congratulations! What an amazing accomplishment.
Dang.
Even that I knew that you was successful I really felt excitement following you to the top.
This is really impressive!
Dang again, what an adventure and expedition.
Thanks Norrdine..
Thank you! This climb was really intense. Especially the last night before I entered the death zone. Maybe I will do a "retrospective on Lhotse" video where I reflect on these things and share them with you.
@@norrdinenouar Please do👍
Amazing !
Best wishes from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Thank you so much! Greetings back to Sri Lanka! Really would love to explore your country one day!
Très vivant comme récit, plein d’esprit et de joie 🎉😊❤
Man that is absolutely epic, congratulations and well done! Amazing video! Must be awe inspiring to be on the top of Lhotse all on your own
Thank you buddy! Yes it was! It was a scary and life threatening atmosphere on the summit, but it felt like a real solo!
Love the content Nor. This keeps the urge to go on these adventure at bay. Until the kids grow up 👊
Thank you buddy! We all have very different and challenging adventures, which is beautiful! Make sure to not die, when you go to the mountains ;)
Great brother, salute for your hardwork May you climb peak to peak..
Thank you buddy! Hopefully, I can climb many more!
Bringing Taka up there with you was a good decision. ❤❤
Incredible how you are able to accomplish such feats, much less video during the process. Much respect for you and thank you for shaing your journeys with us 🔥🙏
Thank you so much for your kind words! I will continue to take you with me on my journey as a mountaineer!
@@norrdinenouar appreciate you sharing with us. Btw, would be interesting to know how Taka is doing? You mentioned that he lost some fingers so it would be cool to know what happened :).
You have an ethereal light shining out your face
Very well done. Great coordination and cooperation.
Thank you! It was a super interesting journey!
@@norrdinenouar I am amazed what and how you accomplished. You got an experience for a whole life.
I watched your journey from the start and every video is amazing! Congratulations on the summit !! On another note you could be a model for North Face with that long hair, tanned skin and those white teeth! Glad you’re well!
Haha, thank you for your nice words!
Outstanding. Congratulations indeed
Hey Recoates, thank you so much! It took a lot of dedication!
no oxygen, the real way. glad some people still do it. congrats and greetings from austria!
The suicidal way
Wonderful! Bravo 👏🏽
Thank you Sanjee!
Be safe brother! Awesome footage
Thank you buddy! I will try my best not to die :D
You made it. Incredible 🎉❤
Thank you so much! It was a hard piece of work!
Definitely it was. You've come back home safely and this is more than a victory. More and more power to you. Prayers 💫
Absolutely incredible... Youre Such a Goat oml
Not for comparison but 59% not that bad..first time I’ve tried my first 6000ers I had as low as 44% 😅😅😅…btw it’s an amazing footage my first 8000ers also will be lhotse but with O2
Hi Norrdine, what an amazing achievement for you last year my friend.
The only one to summit Lhotse solo without oxygen.
Then you go and summit Annapurna I this year doing the same.
That's truly extraordinary!
You are an inspiration to everyone climbing their own personal mountains.
Take care, be safe and wishing you a speedy recovery after an amazing
climbing season.
N.
PS. Everest can wait.
Many thanks buddy and thank you for your kind words! We all have our personal mountain to climb. You know its weird sometimes when I am up there suffering I am doubting myself and sometimes even think these 8000ers are to hard to keep on. But as soon as I am back in the valley I already think about the next one! Its kinda addictive! I am already hyped to train as hard as possible for Everest😂
Wow sad to hear Taka lost 3 fingers. At least he was able to summit!
Yeah very sad... when I walked up the second time he came down the Lhotse face and told me "maybe I will lose three fingers"
@@norrdinenouar
Very sad. Did he go up without o2?
@@pegahghavami8062 He wanted to, but he used oxygen once he reached the Geneva Spur. Thats approximately 7900m
@@norrdinenouar
Oh wow that's devastating.
@@pegahghavami8062 yeah, and this year a good friend I met this time on Everest, William from Canada lost a few of his toes... Last year one of our expedition members (Susanna from India) died and this year another good friend I met on this expedition (Gabriel from Romania) died in C3 in his sleep. It is weird how these things are somehow the "standard" in these high mountains
amazing....living the dream.
:D Thank you! It was possible with hard work and dedication!
Amazing accomplishment! Wow!
@@jungleperry Thank you so much perry! It was a lot of hard work but every second was worth it!
What an accomplishment, congratulations. I can't imagine how mentally and physically challenging this was for you. Also, what music did you use in the background of the video?
God bless you
Nice one man, you guys have nerves of steel to endure those winds in a tent, I think the casual profanity is mandatory. I slept in a tent for a few months in winter here in Australia and remember many a sleepless night due to savage winds. Taka seemed like a good tent buddy.. 7 thousand soup, it's so yummy 😆
Thank you, and sorry for the profanity 😅! Yeah the wind was quite intense and it lastet for 5 days which was intense. Taka is a sweetheart and was wunderful company. He is actually quite experienced and a mountain guide in Japan. He used newly handcrafted gear from the 30s and 70s like leather boots on purpose.
@@norrdinenouar
Haha nah it's all good man, I think it fits in well tbh.
Oh wow, yeah I caught a glance of his boots in one of those clips and thought what on earth are those! What a character.
@@carl8568 The boots were soooo heavy. Probably double the weight of my state of the art LaSportiva boots.
Big fan of your adventures.
Are you planning some cool routes or even unclimbed routes.
I really like the East Face of Everest, but not many content on that one.
Hey buddy, thank you for your comment! Actually yes, this was just my first 8000er and I had to learn a lot about my body at this altitude and so many other things. This year on Annapurna and Everest I also did not want to go Alpine or new/challenging routes yet. But now I feel ready to organize my own little expeditions and go more interesting routes or alpine style. Lets see what I can manage next season! First I need to find a sponsor, because these expeditions are getting expensive :P
@@norrdinenouar Yeah I've been following the Annapurna expedition really impressive, especially knowing that the mountain literally tries to kill you. Didn't knew about the Dutch route before your video, not many people try to explain it in details.
I hope you find the sponsors, it really is a great style of mountaineering, back to the basics, no O2, no 20 sherpas, and you're the only one capturing that experience.
I think Mr.Messner would like it and I think we're seeing the second one in the making with you.
Beautiful carefully bro
I like this vlog format. Generally you don't get to see this kind of insight.
You have a crew leader but you take your own decision and you pitch your own tent.
Did you hire a leader for weather and mountain guidance and a sherpa to fix the line ?
great job
Thank you!
Amazing video bro.
Love seeing these! 59% oxy sounds insane to me. What's the lowest amount of oxy you ever had in your system?
Happy to hear that you enjoy the videos! I think 48ish was my lowest. But the device is not always 100% correct. We have a lot of hemoglobin in our blood if you acclimatize properly so we can deal with it. Especially the Sherpas also have quite low oxygen %
I'm gonna follow ur footsteps
wow! how do you only have 2.2k subscribers! This is crazy content. how can you do it! i also wonder how one can fund trips like this,
brutale leistung :) glückwunsch dazu! das mitm deutsch kam unerwartet, da ich deinen kanal noch nicht kannte und das hier das erste video is, welches ich von dir sehe. dachte erst, es sei iwie ne werbeeinblendung xD
Hey servus! Danke für deinen Kommentar! Ja, wenn man mich auf den ersten Blick sieht erwartet man nicht gerade, dass ich deutscher Herkunft bin :P
Als du Rucksack gesagt hast war vorbei ❤😂
Wow, such a nice Video!
How much did it cost you in total?
Thanks buddy! Only the expedition itself, like permits, fees, food and transportation approx 6500 USD. About 500 USD while acclimatization in the Khumbu Valley. Approx 3000 USD for used and new gear I was missing and about another 1.5k for the flights I think.
Hallo Norrdine! Ich bin eben auf deine Videos gestoßen und die haben mich direkt gepackt. Genial. Höre dir sehr gerne zu und die Aufnahmen und Eindrücke bringen einen so nahe ran. Wahnsinn.
Ich war 2018 schon mal für eine Annapurna Umrundung in Nepal und kehre nun mit einem Freund in einem Monat zurück für zwei 6.000er als Einstieg. Wir sind schon sehr aufgeregt. Wie hast du angefangen mit dem Bergsteigen und wann? Danke für deine Antworten. Würde mich riesig freuen :) Yannik, 30 aus Lübeck
So gute Videos ❤
Wie bist Du zu dieser Passion gekommen? Absolut beeindruckend.
Amazing video, thank you!
Do you pack out all the broken tents and such with a leave no trace ethos?
Its a shame to see what has happened to Everest with all the comercialisation and guided climbs. (I realsie thats not what you guys are about)
I am a low lander but I love to watch videos of the mountains, all the best and keep safe!
Congratulations! You certainly endured a lot!
I was so worried about you still going for the summit in view of the length of time you spent at C3 and C4. That just zaps a person's strength & endurance. Especially with your oxygen saturation being so low at 62 & heart rate at 110.
Please tell us how you felt once the adrensline wore off & you arrived in Kathmandu. Did you go to see a doctor?
Btw ... how is your climbing friend doing?
Thank you Mila! Yeah I was also worried about going to the summit, because death is a real and very likely option. Especially when climbing solo without oxygen and being on one of the "High 8000ers" for the first time in my life. The oxygen seems scary low compared to "sea level" numbers, but 62 is actually not that bad at that altitude since we have already acclimatized so much. You should see the values of the Sherpas even down in Camp 2. They are also only at about 60ish. The high pulse is concerning though and another reason, why sleeping doesnt really help with the recovery process anymore. Every move up there is painfully hard and everything is super slow and takes ages. Yes I did see a doctor and had my lungs checked, because I had huge pain in the left side. I dont know if I broke my ribs due to intensive coughing or because I fell into the rope 2 times and did not notice that I hurt myself. Taka is doing allright, but I was very shocked when I saw a picture of his hand with the three amputated and frozen fingers. He is doing fine and as far as I know he found his love back in Japan
Be careful bro ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
harika içerikler
Thank you!
13:27 - what a great photo and perspective of everest - 4pm summit thats very bold decision to make whilst solo or is that normal for Lhotse? I am reading "the climb" by anatoli boukreev at the moment it is amazing :) relying on oxygen can go very very wrong. proper aclimatization is key and it looks like you did you due diligence
which alpinist inspires you the most might I ask? and maybe which book? hopefully it is in english
that helicopter ride looked like alot of fun also - great video!
You are really cool
Mega stark❤
Hallo,
wie kalt war es denn dort und friert das restliche Gesicht nicht einbisschen ein?
Wie lange warst du dort und wie geht es mit der Gesundheit?
cooles Video!
Grüsse aus der Nord Schweiz
Respekt!!
Great challenge accomplished. Do you know how many calories you burned per day or how much needed to fuel to have the energy to keep going?
I suppose the extra heart rate strain would expenditure the calories loss to a greater lever, 110+ heart rate at rest is wild.
Mein Respekt. Zum Verständnis: Hat Taka oder der Sherpa drei Finger verloren? Ich vermute mal durch Erfrierungen.
Taka leider :( . Ja er hat am Gipfeltag erfrierungen an der rechten Hand erlitten, weil er damit den Jumar bedient hat und deshalb mit dieser Hand nur einen normalen Handschuh getragen und nicht die großen Fäustlinge. Sehr sehr unnötig und traurig
Great video! I was sad about your Japanese friend though... Did he really loose 3 of his fingers due to frostbite? 😥
Hey pedrohff2012, happy to hear that you enjoyed the video. Yeah unfortunately Taka did not use his mittens properly on summit day. He lost the 3 fingers of his right hand holing his jumar. I even told him before to please use his mittens. On my final way up to camp 4 for my summit push, he came down with his sherpa and showed me his hand. We met a few days later in Kathmandu, when he already received medical treatment. A few weeks/months later I received a picture of his hand with his 3 amputated fingers due to frostbite.
That's sad. I hope he is ok?menthally. Did he not wear the mittens at all?
Look likes no need to carrying tent up, a few ready to use is already there
That is true, but I am not going to the mountains for an easy summit. I want the challenge you know! ;D
Congratulations. What determination you must have had to descend back down to Basecamp with only a short rest at Camp 2. If I may ask (out of curiosity) how do you manage to fund your trips - do you get sponsored? It must be quite expensive with the plane costs, helicopter costs and being away for so long with food costs, accommodation, equipment costs etc. How do you earn income when you are not on your trips? Sorry to hear that Taka lost 3 fingers - the wind chill must have been really bad in those high winds when he was summiting.
Thank you so much! This mountain was really a milestone for me as a mountaineer and I learned so incredibly much about mountaineering, expeditions and my body and mind. About the funding, I had a good paying job as a sales manager and therefore was able to save some money to fund my journey and my expeditions. And you are right it is very expensive, that is why I am broke now and need to earn money again and/or find a sponsor who supports me. I am currently working on that, otherwise I have to wait until 2026, before I can climb an 8000er again. Yeah, I was very shocked about the news. Frostbite happens so fast up there, you dont even notice it, because you are full of adrenaline. Just after a while you realize that you dont feel your toes or fingers anymore, but then it is already toi late.
mad respect for you man
i also want to climb all major 8000 m peaks , i am 17 and hoping to achieve it before i turn 27
i have no past experience
can you tell me about yourself , like how you started
Hey arnold, you can check my other videos to see how to get into mountaineering. "How I became a mountaineer" for example. Climbing all 8000ers is certainly a big goal, but anything is possible with discipline a lot of training and hard work and dedication. Make sure to prepare as much as possible and train like a beast. It took me 13 years as a mountaineer to climb my first 8000er solo without O². But it can be done faster than I did.
@norrdinenouar surely i am going to explore your channel
and ill promise that i am going to train like a beast and one day reach to the top of the world .
BTW i am big fan of you from India
😊
Now I gotta ask that question: are there really dead bodies laying around? I would turn imsane at such sights :o
nice
👍
✌🏾
wow :)
:D
Do you supplement iron, while going up?
Seems like a rich man's sport.
Does Taka-San have a channel? Would love to know if he is ok after losing fingers
I dont know for sure but I dont think so. He was sponsored though by Montbell a Japanese outdoor company. He also cycled around the world with his bike and climbed 5 of the 7 summits while doing so. I only know that he wanted to finish his cycling trip. He had to leave his bike in Georgia when the pandemic hit us and he wanted to continue to cycle from Georgia to Japan. I only saw a picture of his hand after the amputated the fingers. But as far as I know he is doing fine!
@@norrdinenouar gotta love the Japanese. My friend is cycling from vietnam to Amsterdam right now and stopped in Nepal for many months.. very free style of traveling .. thats pretty incredible .. hope he makes his 7 summits.. congrats on your recent climbs this year. . Glad to see how safe an aware you are with no supplemental. Keep that going, be smart and never put the mountain above the life..
wow! thats so insane, is that in the himalayas?
Thank you! Yes it is in the Himalayas in Nepal, next to Mount Everst.
Ich guck mir das Video an und plötzlich redest du deutsch😭 direkt abonniert, bitte mehr deutschen content
How to connect with u , love to explore new adventure treks nice
Hey, you can contact me via FB or Insta or send an E Mail to me. :D!
How many languages can you speak? I definitely heard Japanese and German there.
Mostly English and German, a little bit of Spanish and I understand a few languages, but just basic level :D
I’m a little confused on the virtue of no o2. Seems like unnecessary risk to me. Is it a test of ability to you? In alpinism I always like to err on the side of doing everything I can to enhance my chances of survival. Would love to hear your thoughts.
2:37 extremely sick photo to have
Mal ganz blöd gefragt. Bringen die langen Haare einem einen Kälteschutz bei den Temperaturen ? Haare waschen ist bei den Gegebenheiten ja wohl kaum möglich. Ganz ehrlich, ich würde mir die Haare vor so einer Begehung abrasieren, wenn sie nicht doch irgendwie die Kälte abhalten.
:P Haha, leider gar nicht, sie haben kaum einen Vorteil, da wir sowieso eine Sturmhaube und die Mütze der Daunenjacke tragen. Sie sind nicht ganz einfach zu pflegen in der Höhe. Sie verknoten total und es hat mich stunden gekostet als ich zurück war in Kathmandu sie zu entknoten. Abrasieren wäre eine Lösung aber... es dauer zu lange sie wieder wachsen zu lassen :P
Well done sir 👏 🏔️
I pray to everyone for return safe to home
Eh no thanks, I’ll stick to vacationing in Hilton head and Martha’s Vineyard… I do question if your blood oxygen meter was functioning correctly, the ones we use read almost immediately and 59% should really be near dead, anything under 70% is potentially life threatening. Could be entirely wrong but just a thought.
