    Those Sherpas are absolutely amazing and underappreciated. Without them I wonder how many people would be able to actually summit Everest or any 8K meter peak.

      @Paul Martin you’re referring to a guy named Lars Kropp and his story is questionable to say the least. By law, you MUST hire a local Sherpa guide in order to climb the mountain - period.

      @Paul Martin mmm people DO make it to the top Paul. It’s not like it’s an instant death trap. It’s not as insane as people think. If people take their time and manage their energy, it’s doable. So risking your freedom is not wise.

    Summiting Mt. Everest is about the next to last thing I ever want to do, behind deep sea diving. But for some reason, I am obsessed with stories and documentaries on Mt. Everest. This was an excellent documentary. It was so refreshing to follow a team and individual climber who was so prepared, humble, and honorable. I have seen so many films showing all the trash and bodies littering the mountain. It was a joy to see this side of Mt. Everest. Thank you for putting in the effort to record and share your experience.

    One of my biggest takeaways from watching this is that you should buy your own oxygen mask and feel comfortable using it well before they show you how to use one a day before your summit push. Blows my mind that such a crucial, life saving piece of equipment is literally raffled off to ppl like you showed. I would be extremely unhappy if I got one of those older masks that didn’t fit right. That whole thing seems like a massive oversight on the outfitters perspective.

Oxygen is just as vital on Everest as it is under 400 feet of water. It really is hard to imagine. I guess it's that thing, when every one else is ok with something, we often abandon our own good judgement,, and trust the group.

I think the reason is - this doesn't ever come across as a production to get views from random people. It really is a documentary geared specifically to people who are interested in what it takes to actually try and summit Everest. Sincerely appreciate this video and I wish there others were more like it. Well done.

    It takes a certain breed to desire and have the skill to climb, document it, and then edit it for others to live vicariously through. As world population grows and traffic increases in the farthest corners of the globe, videos like this will help keep some people from adding to that traffic.
    Congratulations on your accomplishment, what dedication and perseverance!

I certainly was not expecting something this good to have escaped my searches, what a nice blend of comedy, camp life, training structure and adventure- without the music being too overpowering, mostly. And long enough to really get in to it, I'll be using this as motivation towards a 6200m Himalayan trekking peak I'm attempting in September. Cheers 👍🙏

      When they found the body of Mallory and it showed his body lying there face down for 90 years with all his cotton clothing and leather boots etc I was thinking what you just commented on here... Just think how different and more difficult it would have been to not have any of the modern equipment, clothing, support, and NO ROPES .... sorry about screaming the no ropes thing, but can you imagine trying to get up that same mountain with no ropes ? I can not remember if he had any oxygen apparatus on his back when they found his body - I know it was very heavy and not reliable like todays systems but I wonder what percentage of successful Everest climbers would have been able to get to the summit using Mallory's same clothing, boots, bad oxygen systems,and
      NO ROPES .....( sorry again ).. I bet 99% would fail attempting to duplicate Mallory's effort..

Like you said yourself, "Getting to the top is optional but Getting down is mandatory. " Reaching the summit is half of the journey and the descent is just as hard, it would have been nice to see how you handled it and gave us details just like you did throughout the entire video. With that said, still hands down on such a GREAT video!!! Congrats to you, Patrick and the rest of your team! 🎉

    I have consumed all the mountaineering video content I can find in the past few months and this is definitely one of the best for detail and the experience. It would appear that climbing from the Tibetan side is much steeper than the Nepal side. I never had an inkling 40 years ago when I was 20 about climbing growing up in Southern Ontario but then we did not have the internet, RUclips or even computers to learn of such endeavours. Thank you for taking me along. I must say for those who may climb in the future, if you wish to acclimatize to the cold just come and spend a Winter here in Winnipeg where it gets just as cold as the summit of Everest. Today is a balmy -10C with a -21C windchill and it still Autumn. Thank you for this great film.
