    Ryan, I'm 70 years old and have been watching mountaineering videos for as long as RUclips has been around.
    I've heard many people comment that your filming and narration are top-notch. I totally agree. It was a breathtaking journey.
    I haven't heard many people speculate on what makes this such a great series. Briefly, I would say that what you bring to this series is what my generation used to call " the right stuff "
    I am glad the mountain called you at a time when you could listen.
    Best wishes from West Virginia, Sarah

    THIS IS AMAZING!! I am a 78 widow who, for whatever ridiculous reason, loves watching everything about Mount Everest. But what makes your video so thrilling is I actually got to see EVERY SINGLE STEP! I always wanted to see what the climbers see as they move step by step on this mountain. I would always wonder: is it very steep? Is it heart stopping? Does it look like a misstep to the left or right means a one way ticket to the bottom? I just cannot express how amazing I found your step-by-step descent! I have saved your video under “must keeps”, and I know I will be watching this many times in the future (starting tomorrow morning). Thank you for “taking me along” on your descent of Everest! I am really so grateful to have joined you, and be able to see exactly what it is like to be walking on Everest!

    Thank you for documenting the descent, always wondered how difficult
    getting off the mountain is compared to the ascent. The amount of fixed ropes
    on the route was interesting. The sherpas who put them in place deserve most
    of the credit.

  • @yumcaxion9993
    @yumcaxion9993 6 месяцев назад +23

    As a long time rock climber and ski mountaineer it's wild to see how people end up having to use the fixed lines on Everest. Clipping in with a carabiner like this means that unless it's not very steep or you're traversing horizontally, if you fall you will fall or slide down the rope until you're "caught" either by landing on the next person or on the next anchor. Not locking the gate on the carabiner (for expediency here, of course) means it can easily unclip from the rope unintentionally, like during a fall. Having to unclip and reclip a single tether to pass others on the fixed line produces hundreds of chances to make a mistake while you're completely unprotected. Even if you're competent and feeling reasonably OK at 26k feet, that person above you hand-belaying down a steep section of fixed 10mm climbing rope (with thick gloves on!), who might be totally exhausted and at the limit physically and mentally, is a completely unmanageable hazard. What's worse is that making it safer by rappelling steep sections or using actual self-belay techniques is impossible given the circumstances (number of people, expediency, etc). I've never seen a video that captures this so vividly! I've seen (and at times participated in) some wildly unsafe things over 25 years of climbing but the sheer number of people and the high-altitude environment involved here are just a whole different level of awful.

  • @felixmakinda7689
    @felixmakinda7689 7 месяцев назад +69

    I've never been to Everest, but I have done some high altitude mountaineering. I appreciate how much effort it must have taken to prepare for, maintain and manage all aspects of this video work. The quality is excellent - one of the highest quality video logs of climbing Everest that I've seen. Super fun to watch. Well done!

    Congratulations, it’s been great going along on your journey with you - thanks for taking me along. It gives a new perspective on just how difficult the route is. Gosh, some of those crevasses in the Khumbu icefall are huge. I’m glad you made it up and down safely

    Please do a question and answer video! I've been watching your videos on comfort of my sofa and though I have many uncomfortable feelings about the whole Everest tourist business you have shown yourself in the best possible light. For such a young man you show such integrity and calmness. Nothing seemed to phase you. I really would like to ask you what your most scary moment was - how were your true feelings on the summit? You kept so reserved when encountering ' selfish ' climbers-how do you feel about them? Do you have any opinions about the future of Everest? I'd love to hear you and Alan have a heart to heart 🙏

    Wow Ryan! First of all big congrats for whatyou achieved. Starting with a low condition of not be able to run a mile. And 18 months later reaching the top of the world. Respect, man!
    Another reason why I wanted to react is the quality of your document, the brightness of the images and a perfect image we get by your cool narration. I've been watching mountain clips for years now, since a youth mate climbed K2 and Everest. And I have to admit that this is the clearest guide of the Everest descent. I can imagine how it changed your life. I wish you lots of fun and joy during your future climbings and hope you stay safe and free from bad accidents. Definitely will follow you here to witness your next projects. Greetings from Belgium. Bart.

    Terrifying! This is the only one in the series that I've watched and I agree with everyone's comments on how revealing it is. I believe your narration works because it's full of honest emotion. (It's a gift for sure.) I will never be descending Mt. Everest in this life (a little beyond my 77 year old body) but if it shows up in a dream, I'll think of you and thank you.
