    I’ve recently been watching mountaineering disaster videos and documentaries and I can’t tell you how happy I am that even though you got to 8300 meters you knew your limit and turned around. So many lives were lost due to Summit Fever and I’m over the moon that you weren’t one of them. You had the sense and mental fortitude to turn back and reach your goal a year later. Summiting is optional, getting down alive is mandatory. So so happy. ♥️

      Especially considering this is considered the more difficult of the 2 main routes. 8300 meters is an accomplishment of its own.

    I was feeling very weak and the wind speed was very strong, my fingers were starting to freeze and it was all not very nice so I turned back. I returned this year and reached the summit - you can read more in my blog - the website link attached above.

    Between camp 3 and the summit there’s something like 20 bodies, and down the cliff face beneath the steps is the rainbow valley. Called that due to the different colors of down suits scattered across the valley, lots and lots of corpses: something like 150 on the north side

    My neighbour has a shrine to himself for climbing Mt Everest. He paid $25,000 to a company who planned the trip, cooked his food, carried all his supplies, arranged lines and placed new ones where needed. There were dedicated photography/video sherpas awaiting him at key points. There was a guide to follow him closely during the ascent and a sherpa that carried extra oxygen just for him. Tents were pre-erected at camps. He had very little climbing experience before hand. The photo of him on the summit is 4 feet tall at his house.
    He also has a water buffalo stuffed in his house. He paid a hunting lodge in Africa to take him out to shoot one. He accidentally informed me he didn't even have to get out of the Range Rover.
    Crap like this doesn't count unless you do it yourself. There's a line between adventurer and tourist.

    • @aleksanderhiller7506
      @aleksanderhiller7506 2 года назад +6

      Well, I assume he is not a sherpa that is biologically adapted to high altirudes and low oxygen levels.
      Climbing and summiting Mt. Everest, 800 metres above the death zone, is still an achievement that he should be proud of.
      That being said, the majority of Westerners would not be able to achieve this without the aid of the underpaid and often underapriciated Sherpas.

    Thank you for helping me contrast the two routes finally. I mistakenly thought that a north face attempt required climbing up the western ridge and got confused by the mistaken belief that the steps 1,2, and three were only used by the south face climbers. but now clearly see that both approaches converge below those steps, referenced so often on the southern more common approach videos. thanks for taking the time to teach people with this video about such a magnificent part of our world.
    your awsome.

    • @liveandlearn515
      @liveandlearn515 3 года назад +2

      Hi, A little correction. The South Face climbers do not go through the Steps 1,2 and 3. The South Col and North route ( described in this video) converge only at the Summit of Mt. Everest.
      South face climbers only have the Hillary step, which has gotten much easier now, as they have found a way around it.

    You are for sure a very smart and educated climber and a disciplined one too! It is very easy to lose focus up there when you’re so close. All too many times, people who get that close will opt to push for the summit. It takes discipline and the knowledge of ones body to know when is when. Great video and I hope you make it to the top of the world, as climbers like you deserve that moment, and it’ll come if it hasn’t already been accomplished! Good luck and stay safe!

    Agree! K2 is one of the most Technical Mountains to climb. Let's not forget Nanga Parbat.

    Hello Mahamad, It is very tough to walk, climb, breath, even sit and tie your shoe laces at high altitude. It is fantastic to have big dreams, but I would suggest you take small steps on your way to your goal. Gain experience mountaineering and also progressively trekking or climbing to higher altitudes first. There is many commercial teams who you can join up with which you can find on the internet. Good luck and have a wonderful adventure!

    It i expensive to climb Everest by any means. Think in the order of US$40- 80,000 dollars depending so much on which route, and what style you climb in. Its easy go start climbing. Go find a mountain and start heading up it! You can only learn by trying. Or take an Alpine experience course which are available in many countries around the world. Good luck!

      I met a guy when i studied in nepal named tengrath sherpa, he summited everest in 2004 and he used to tell me what a behemoth of a mountain it is and it feels like being in a different planet at that altitude and it all feels like a dream but a very dangerous dream in which u have to stay awake and mind every step you take, slight slip would send you down the mountaing into the roaring abyss of the long spread himalayas.the main objective was not only reaching the summit but getting the heck down, after the tiring climb to the top and thats when the clock starts to tick lying ahead unpredictable weather, fear of avalanches,your body is shutting down slowly and u see slopes and icefalls u have to traverse through the body criea for help after spending time at the death zone where oxygen is depeleted making your brain go awry. To get down and go back home and recoup your body and the thought of the times that were spent in the mountain inspite of the hardwork it took to finally reach the top and see the curvature earth and the entire himalayas to sudden realization that you are at the top of the world, This feeling will forever be haunting me to see the view that only few people in this world has seen is something else.

    The south route looks like it has much more gravel and snow free sections. Has anyone ever gone up one side and down the other?Is it the highest mountain? I have heard that the Andes stick out farther from the earth's center ergo its highest mountain is the actual highest on the planet. Also if you consider the vertical height from base to summit, Mona Loa has the greatest distance from top to bottom.

    It doesn't look so technical from Tibet yet it seems way longer, you spend more time at higher altitudes and farther away from any help most of the time than in the south route. It must be amazing to do mixed climb from one side and return from the other. Has anyone done this?

    • @GrantAxeRawlinson
      @GrantAxeRawlinson  6 месяцев назад +2

      Yes doing a full traverse would be awesome but the problem with this is that the border of tibet and nepal is on the summit and getting permission to ascend one route and descend the other side is practically impossible it seems these days.

    Hi Jody.You should not fly directly to the basecamp of Mt Everest, because this is already very high at over 5000m. You will get altitude sickness and could die within 24 hours if you try this.You need to climb slowly to basecamp over the course of a few days to let your body acclimatise to the lower and lower oxygen. There are two main basecamps, the south side and the north side. The southside you need to walk to, the north side from this video where I climbed from you can drive to.

    now am going to nepal in october just crossing to tibet, i have no training in climbing. is it possible to climb in a group up till death point and back, or is it still fatal in extreme weather conditions and altitude sickness.
    how much will it cost to make these arrangements

    Just a couple of curious questions and no disrespect meant. When looking at the animation is green boots cave to the right and below the arrow? Aslo sleeping bueaty's original resting place, was she to left of the arrow indicating the first step? I had just read that she was in a similar location to Green Boots and David Sharp.

      Hi, this was the first ever three d fly through I made, since then I have learnt and refined the process and don't move the camera around so much, thanks for your feedback anyway.

    I'm no authority on the topic, but this would seem to be a much safer route if you avoid the Khumbu Icefall. Is that generally true?

    On the North side, you would drive to base camp from Khatmandu through Tibet, stopping to acclimatize, else you would pass out. From the South side, most fly into the world's most dangerous airport in Lukla, then trek in from there. You need to get a permit. Lowest is probably Asian Trekking, but it's really risky without sherpa support, you basically just get a permit and climb on your own for around $9k.

    I tried climbing Everest from the north side but got to the 3rd step but I got out because I was exhausted and cold I was so close to the top .. I try again but this time from the south side

      That’s crazy. But very smart choice you obviously listened to your body being that close and turning back. Did you manage to summit on your next attempt?

  • @govindagovindaji4662

    Just WOW!! This is FANTASTIC!! Yes, I had to shout that. I have been absorbing everything Everest for days now and have not gotten a real feel for what these climbers go through to climb (and camp) until watching this video!! Now I can go back and make heads and tails of what they're talking about with references to the different areas, parts, difficulties, altitudes, etc. and understand much, much better. Thanks so very much for this. Any way to do the same video but slow it down some? Especially from camp 4 to the Summit? Also, everyone mentions the heights and hours it takes to climb them, but never in terms of miles. I'd love to know the difference of miles between given points, since sometimes climbers are walking across and not up, its difficult to translate just from feet heights. Again, thanks ~ this is going to make watching these other adventures much, much more interesting!!

    I dont mean to be a stickler, this is an excellent video, but I think your route above camp 3 is a little off. Doesnt it normally traverse the mountain from camp 3 and then climbs vertically to the ridge through the "exit cracks". Im no mountaineer, but is it possible that you forgot the "exit cracks" and the infamous cave of Green Boots and David Sharp, above camp 3?

  • @JohnBarrow1961
    @JohnBarrow1961 8 лет назад +1

    Isn't the north ridge the more technical of the 2 routes? And are there any other routes to the summit?

    • @GrantAxeRawlinson
      @GrantAxeRawlinson  8 лет назад +1

      Hi John, The North ridge is more technical higher up especially the summit day - it is also winder. There are a number of routes on Mt Everest - most of them rarely climbed as they are very difficult.

  • @TheMemnons
    @TheMemnons 11 лет назад +1

    Pretty amazing. I read all about the '96 deaths; they mentioned the southeast ridge route was over crowded and that contributed to the deaths. There were only three expeditions on that day, probably less than 35 people attempting the summit on one day. Now I see pictures with over 200 climbers trying for the top!! WTF is happening to Everest???

    • @GrantAxeRawlinson
      @GrantAxeRawlinson  11 лет назад +3

      Yes Everest is a very enticing challenge to climbers, and the more people who die there seems to attract even more climbers to the mountain. But having said that, more people does not necessarily mean more deaths. In general the deaths are caused by poor decision making (as with what happened to a number of climbers in 1996, 2006 and 2012).
