I’ve never seen Night shots of mountain climbing before. That sky would be amazing to experience
Isn't this true? I thought it was like flying through our galaxy.
I could not even tell a single sign in the stars, since they were so many, though I can see here which zodiac or so is above us.
It felt as if my heart was ripped out of my chest, such a longing I felt.
I would love to know if normally climbers care about that sky at all, or if they only think about 'I paid for the mountain and will finish it'.
This guy here seems to be no a sad. I loved the fact he showed that Sherpa first
It took me for him ( don't know of you understand what I mean, I cannot translate this phrase better).
Too much air pollution in cities to see mother Milkyway ..!! May be in desert or while cruising in the ship in middle of the ocean ..you will get breath taking view ...
@Barbara Mulvaney What you're seeing in this video is the culmination of meticulous planning, dozens of combined years and summit experience and an elite team all around. The guides and the Sherpa team are coordinating it like a military operation. Notice no one is around? Notice no one is on the summit? What traffic? Notice you also have commercial clients featured in the images. Everyone summited, everyone descended safely, all of the Sherpas were extremely well paid and the relationship with the Sherpas and western guides was deeply respectful and symbiotic. On top of that, I was roped into the mix as a one person film crew with my right hand man and dear friend, PK Sherpa. We split up, I sat on the Hillary Step alone to shoot this sequence and he stayed back to shoot the rear angle. Teamwork every step of the way. We planned this sequence two months out. We also shot a 12-part reality TV series that season, broadcast to thousands of kids in North America in schools and shot time-lapse every night. It all came together on the final day and it all went off without a single hitch. And when the weather turned on descent, we all worked together to navigate it and got everyone down the mountain. Not everyone is the worst case scenario of Everest and its sensationalism. We deeply respect our Sherpa comrades and brothers and acknowledge their mountain, their country, their expertise and treat the situation like a collaborative privilege. Working together is why we keep going back. We're friends and we're all in it together. Everest is a complex industry and has its serious issues, but please do keep in mind that there is also ALOT of good going on up there and we are the first to acknowledge we could not do this without all of the local people, n'or would we want to.
And to @winterweib - most of us who have seen the beauty and felt the majestic night skies and the transformative energy of the mountain are forever changed. You learn that the summit pales in comparison to the depth and beauty of the journey. And the nights skies, especially for me, are everything. Have a look at some of my other timelapse work. I think you'll enjoy it. The aesthetics of how you climb matter. I hope you see if for yourself one day.
You can see space easily from everest
@@pravinhbk9213 Mt Baldy, Los Angeles County, California, USA. I see the stars clearly. Its amazing. Mt. Baldy is only 10,064 feet. Still a strenuous and amazing hike.
The milky way on Everest. That just took my breath away.
My very thoughts. If am not at all interested in climbing. But to see this sky... I watched these seconds again and again. I long to see this. It must be as if you are in space. So near to the stars... I would think I fly to them.
I got wet eyes. I long so much to be able to fly through Milky Way since I can remember. I never thought how sky looks from Himalaya. It was unreal. I cannot imagine to see it. And I cannot imagine how it must feel to know when morning comes you have to say good bye to this heaven.
100th Like!
and as you stand there gazing up at the stars and gods universe, on the side of Everest and you take in a deep breath because your breath has been taken away, get used to smelling other peoples sh!t, especially if they have taken a dump up the line ahead of you and the wind is blowing towards you , and in that season window of everest thats hundreds of tourists just crapping in front of you, and cant cover it up, with what, ? snow? bwahahaha, take your glove off even to wipe your ass on everest and your going to lose your hand to frostbite, the mass of everest is a giant frozen rock, consisting of many types of rock, yep smell that public toilet smell, ah the serenity.
@martin andrew: And I can smell the strong gloom in you. Take a deep breath my friend, its a beautiful world out here.
@@michelleevaldez2651 yes i notice you replied out there and not up there, escaping the truth and denying it doesnt make the smell or sheer tragedy go away now does it?
We live in an age where we get to see the summit of mt Everest without moving, how lucky are we.
It's difficult without video equipment. I can just imagine the the weight and the time you spend to bring home this footage... Just amazing!
$10,000 cost for a cameraman.
You put a Sherpa first. Thanks!
Without Sherpas none of these men could or would make it.
Severely underpaid and underappreciated.
#sherpalivesmatter
Its very brave what you guys have achieved but we shouldn't do that . Now its a new trip or or destination route for the mountaineers to climb on The Mount EVEREST . BUT don't you guys think we shoul leave the nature by itself so that i can't be polluted by us , its like we are helping the global warming in MELTING the GLACIERS with a faster speed by climbing it again n again . EVEREST plays a very significant and important role in the ECOSYSTEM , specially for ASIA , for example it is the only reason for the monsoon in India and many asian countries and the weather in which we are living right now . So please think about it and take some measures to do the right thing ....
Thank you
@@kkinzalZOOBA if y'all seriously gave a fuck about Asia specifically Southeast Asia you'd tell them to quit dumping 300 million metric tons of plastic into the ocean yearly and reduce their engine emissions.
Asia is it's own worst enemy due to severe overpopulation and lack of environmental laws.
Right now... Proven by science if just China and India stopped driving harmful global emissions would go down 40 percent.
40 fucking percent... Just 2 countries..
I'm not a tree hugger I just get tired of the western bashing the US makes up a very... Very miniscule amount of global pollution.
You don't need sherpas. Fuck offf
@@RAYTHEONGAMING bullshit. You don't need sherpas. Sherpas suck.
The clarity and quality of the footage is amazing. Plus the editing. Subscribed.
Thx!
The only thing is music is too loud
@@rachaeleng2235 just lower the volume. Problem solved.
Awesome comment. I envy you Elia. And thank you for taking on the journey. To bring a glimpse of this to my eyes. I HOPE ONE DAY I GET TO REACH THE SUMMIT
Why do you want to climb Mount Everest?
"because it's there"
George Mallory.
Good one troy.......dork!
This group had extreme luck with an empty mount Everest with no queues. At the top there is usually line of climbers, which will be death trap to some of them, when they try to go down.
Why do you want to climb Mount Everest?
"because i'll die"
(thousands of fools).
Consider the source.
troy lenz completely understand why people want to climb Mount Everest.
But we should not touch “The Mother Natural”,we should remain as what the Mother Nature is.
*when you realise you have to go back down*
Well I mean you don't have to.
:))
There's a zip line! Apparently it's "Quite a ride"
Henry Horse lmao
@Tashi Sherpa... You cannot fly a helicopter at such high altitudes
I appreciated my bed more and more just by watching everest climbing
I'm extremely motivated not to climb mt Everest
INTERNATIONALvids 😂😂
I am I want to climb it right now
Read Into Thin Air, the entire book makes you not want to
@@georgietorres6764 go pls but without risking life of a Sherpa do it on ur own
I have suffered with mental illness all my life. I would love to climb Everest, make it to the top and sit there and die. This way God can take me and he can rid me of my demons.
I am fascinated by the mountain. I have learned to live vicariously through videos such as these. I thank them all for the trip💕☮️🦋
Psalms 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth His handywork.
Excellent video.
Have you considered that the firmament doesn’t mean a literal impenetrable dome?
@@zakwanberlin
I absolutely did...for 47 years.
I am in total Awe of this. I wish that I could have climbed this incredible mountain. Alas now I’m too old, but what a hell of an journey and achievement. I salute everyone that has attempted, succeeded but equally to those who didn’t make it to the summit. You are all hero’s and RIP the poor guys that perished up there. Also I am very mindful that without the incredible Sherpas it would be a whole lot harder, they are the backbone of all the expeditions. Fantastic footage. Total Respect!
Beautiful video. It was great that one of the sherpas was given credit. Yes, climbing Everest is hard, but if it weren’t for the fixed ropes and ladders put up by the sherpas, the rate of success would be a fraction of what it is.
Belive me Sherpas are the best mountain Climbers in the world.
G P 😂😂😂 💯
@@fatboynip What Happens 😂😂
Sandesh Bhattarai what happens what
Americans are the best climbers! Americans help sherpas up the mountain and even pay them to show respect.
@@Zezam_ I hope you're kidding
I really love the way this was put together. The music is in your soul while watching the images captured in their increadable jaw dropping journey.
The timelapse video is so amazing . I just loved it. Out of this world. Kudos
rahul srivastava thx!
Rahul ..... and you are a total dimwit man!!
Rahul gay😂
I don't think this is a timelapse
@@lepermessiah4862 You may hope for it. But I fear you will rub your tiny Willy alone the next thousands of nights as you always did.
But maybe the next time, when you are again in the Hospital for the mentally ills, somebody will sacrifice himself for you.
Until then: Stop writing how much you are in need to men you do not know. They will laugh about you with their wife maybe.
Proud to be a Nepalese 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵❤️❤️
You should be😉
@@blackbird7156 😊
Mountain climbing aside, the cinematography in this video is amazing!
Wow!!! That is the most beautiful footage I've ever seen!
😍not just a single word, its always respectable. this is why mountaineer choose to fall in love. Its pure and divine.
Great man.👍
Ur videos of whole everest vlogs is amazing and motivational .
Good information about climbing challenges , good mindset for achieving goal.
Congratulations!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾, you did it! Bravo
Can someone please explain me how exactly those chords are connected till summit???
Nepalese Sherpa's are hardy people.
Sherpa give people with money something to be "brag about"..... (with their lives)
Many people have ascended to the summit, they leave about chords for others and themselves to go up and down
Because it’s a tourist attraction
God did it for 2000$
One of the best Everest YT video's
Happy you like it. Not certain anyone can really appreciate how hard this was to produce while chasing a team of climbers as the primary focus for a TV series. It's one thing to set things up and take your time, it's another thing to be running ahead of others above 8000m, sometimes walking backwards uphill, sleepless nights to capture the dark skies only to then get up early in the morning to start all over again.
Yes I understand it man, it's crazy at such high altitudes. This sort of video's really inspired me to go to the Himalaya's, and experience it myself. I am flying 13th of April (this year) to Kathmandu, to do the EBC trek! I can't wait
@@rickwijlens7490 Did you enjoy your trip? Think i could not go to EBC, i couldnt leave it before standing on the top of the world🔝
That was excellent camera work 👌🏼
Wow! What a wonderful video and the back ground music was sooo amazing loved it❤️❤️❤️❤️
Salute to the Sherpas
They help to achieve lots of people's dreams.
Wow. Stunning. Every mountain lovers dream ❤️
nope
There is a difference between a mountain lover and a mountaineer.
Climbing Everest nowadays is *nothing but an expensive cliché* .
Look at me, look at me!!
The most beautiful video of Everest i ever have seen . . .
Lovely to read, since I felt exactly the same. I subscribed because of how wonderful it was made.
Many greetings from Germany and merry Christmas!
Thank u for giving ur Sherpas proper acknowledgments & thanks because they are reason I find anyone actually has the experience to summit safely. Awesome film
Brilliant! Thank you! I've been to base camp, and your video of the climb to summit is beautiful and inspiring. Keep safe!
Your work is outstanding; absolutely stunning..
Thank God I'm now too old to even think of climbing this beautiful giant of a mountain, so no guilt!!
When you realise that the video was released 7 years ago.
That's really a piece of art 👌well done
Great video especially the stars over Mt Everest. South Australia 💖
One of the best I have ever seen! thank you so much ♥️
Thanks for sharing this video 😀👍 Glad you made it to the top and back 😀 Blessings in Christ from Norway
Be thankful you live in Norway and not Sweden. I'm pretty sure saying "blessings in Christ" is considered hate speech there now..
The most beautiful video&scenes from Everest 💙
This is now my favorite Everest CZcams video, good job Elia! Subscribed.
Amazing and unbelievable. Congrats.. So good
Thank you for letting me remember how beautiful are the nights at the everest. Awesome video.
Thx!
Great..
just wondering? have you been to the great Mother and reached her summit? just wondering cause of your post where you say you remember , which tells me you left camp 4 at midnight, and are you going back? cause you might have to be quick, things have really changed in Nepal concerning everest , with garbage and sewerage there, not to mention all the corpses lining the way to the summit, and thats why all the sherpas are now saying they are not climbing cause they deeply fear all the ghosts of those who have died and blame them for not saving them, even those sherpas as you know have died trying to save their lives, and they didnt listen to the sherpas world renowned expert advice , no other can claim to be experts when they are on everest , only the sherpas, dont listen to the sherpas on everest , then your in the right place for the whole world to see your the biggest fool in the world at its highest point, so be quick , you could be a lucky one before they shut it down for good.
@@martinandrewnewby1525 commenting to 6years old comment huh?
@@sonicthehedgehog5982👍
Great video, it perfectly conveys the love for the mountains that you need to have to face certain feats!
Outstanding!!! A masterpiece.
This is the best short clip video I've ever seen on CZcams. Just gorgeous. My dream would be to see the shadow of the peak of the mountain going all the way to the end of the other side of the horizon. Idk why that's so beautiful to me but that would make it worth every second of effort. Amazing video!
Nowadays its hard to come acroos videos where they dont hammer your brain with unwanted music
Turn the volume down than
The music ruins it all
I think vice versa this exact music goes with it
turn the damn volume then stupi
@@Ahmed-ku5eq he meant that he wanted to hear the real sound when they climb the mountain
Finally, a dedication to those that do the most...the Sherpa! Great little video
I enjoyed watching that very much! I will be looking for more of these. The will, drive, strength and determination it takes to attempt this challenge, I can't even imagine. I am in awe of those who do. Respect to the Sherpas for all they do. Another profession that is taken for granted and not acknowledged or appreciated enough as they should be.
Khumbu ice fall. Amazing!
Now I understand the stars shining brightly. It was out of the world !
This must be one of the most awesomest experiences of a lifetime!!
For those who brave it... CONGRATULATIONS.
Amazing! Congratulations on your summit!
Awesome Sherpas!!💖
The stars, wow
Oh, awesome guys.
Salute to you all.
MERAVIGLIOSO filmato ! Grazie Dd
So so beautiful. I just wanna go there.
It’s more than shame people leaving their garbage on top of the world
Ignatz Rosenbaum At those temperatures it would be pretty sanitary. The lower the temp. the slower most bacteria can multiply. Same reasoning behind freezing raw fish before utilizing it for sushi.
There is special "tax" for the garbage - then sherpas going up and taking all the shit back to the camps down there.
Where do you leave yours.
JK that's not garbage, that is sherpa religious flag.. for motivating people
you forgot the most blatant garbage of all ...their corpse,
Thank you for sharing the experience. Continue to brave your mountaintops! Happy Anniversary!
That's one great inspirational video from a cinematographer.
Wonderful three minutes :-)
This is amazing but so hard at the same time❤️The people who did this are so strong ❤️They are and will be my idols forever❤️🙌🥺💪✌️⛰️
Where u from ana?
HELP
Incredible xx absolutely incredible well done xx
Time lapse video is so good
Night sky is so wonderful
Mount Everest has turned into a CIRCUS. I wont be going up there any soon with that kind of traffic and inexperienced climbers being dragged to the top
In fact you won't be going up there, period!
Global climate change. 7% year over year reduction in individual fossil fuel use.
G Tanz well not with that attitude
@rorschachh If you are physically capable of having sex up there, you don't need to fear if your plane dehermetizes (which they rarely do, but whatever). Because, literally, the top of Mount Everest IS almost as high as your typical planes fly.
"Inexperienced climbers" what have you ever achieved mate?
“Eyy we made it!” *”Now we get the hell down”*
climbing Mount Everest is risking your life, thank you for this rare video and we're glad you guys made it!
It looks very beautiful Thanks For this video You guys are brave and respected!!
Wish i could climb this but i don't have the money nor the balls too. Great video
Balls can be solved with an implant but money... Just joking.
At least you are honest......
Nothing a place like home.
Home is home💕
I love this video so much. The music is spot on like nobody's business...makes me want to be there. Such an amazing uplifting experience. Thanks for sharing 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
People,
You and Your whole team including Sherpas, kitchen team, Doctors, Drives all are Great.
Salaam also to that God who gave You this opportunity to Summit.
Salaam.
Every year thousands of mountainers climb Mt. Everest and on their way back home they just left behind waste material in mountain.. And it's so sad to hear that Mt. Everest is being polluted day by day😟
Yes that is really disheartening. As more people take on the journey . Leaving behind what’s not useful anymore
How absolutely magnificent! Hands up to the amazing Sherpas!
That view of the night sky at the beginning of the video was amazing!!!
Beautiful! Rewarding experience! Awesome!
Many think the last great climb on Everest was Reinhold Messner’s solo summit in 1980 from the North side when he was completely alone on the mountain.
Reinhold Everest I cant even imagine that. Scary isolation.
The first was Mallory & Irvine, also northside. Do I think they made it? Yep!
Lowell Calavera
So.... You don’t get historical context?
In 1978 Messner and Habeler were the first to climb Everest without supplemental O2.
Messner went back in 1980 with his girlfriend, she stayed at base camp while he climbed the North Face solo.
He was alone on the upper mountain, probably the last time in Everest history.
An Everest summit used to mean something, now it’s mostly an adventure vacation for wealthy clients with lines backing up at the South Summit.
@@litespeed65- - yes, and he went in August (1980). There was a lot of snow !
... crazy and adorable....
RM, one of the greatest climbers. Ever. Super fit and super smart. The only person I can think of today that pushes the envelope like The Mess is Alex Honnold
That view... 1:57 God's creation is so beautiful.
The real god is ALLAH

What a mesmerizing journey it must be to climb Everest!
Good luck to everyone climbing this year! 🙏
Hii...but I don't know how to make it possible.
It's my dream but don't have any idea how to start and what will be the cost??
@@infiniteendless1397 First you have to do a mountaineering course so that you are well trained and eligible for it then you can go it's cost is around 3-5lakhs with everything included
@@jaychaurasia772 Thank You sir.
Please tell me one thing more that how it will cost for the course and the time period as well and tell me about the institute etc.? Please it's a humble request🙏
@@infiniteendless1397 you can pursue your mountaineering course from mountaineering school. Just google it and apply. There are around 5-6 mountaineering school. It's a 1 month course. And then there are some trekking companies online available who helps in summit or you can simply go to Nepal hire the Sherpas and go for the summit. Summit program is also of around 15-20 days or can increase more as per weather conditions. Training will be provided by Sherpas and then you can proceed with them .
@@jaychaurasia772 3 - 5 lakhs? 😂😂
Bro i think you need to get your facts right, it'll cost atleast 30 lakhs with cut corners on some stuff, best you'll get for atleast 50. Most people try to get it on sponsorship.
A month ago i started talking with my friend about climbin the mount Everest to 7000 meters 5-10 years from now. After watching this video, no man on Earth no power in the Universe will stop me claiming and doing this. I. Just. Know. I. Will. Be. There. I will.
Ganbatte! I also want to talk to my friends about this..
Looks so beautiful....naturally gifted place
Amazing place, wonderful photography, thanks to all
Beautiful video. Does anyone know; if that last rock climb is the Hillary Step, that I've read so much about?
it is!
This is one of the best video l have ever seen
Franko Mikulić Lol it’s only 3 minutes long shit head
Seriously?
OH HOLY RESPECT FOR CLIMBING THIS!!!!!
Thanks for dedicating to your sherpas, and thanks for getting all that footage of the stars
Omg his is so coo,i wish i could see mt everest one day
I'd be happy just to make the trek to base camp.
Ive done the trek to basecamp, absolutely amazing!!! And by the way, the basecamp trek is not easy, but so so worth it, just do it!! You will not regret it, it was life changing!
I like how you dedicated this video to your sherpa team, paying your respect to them who often gets ignored
Ignored? I think not. EVERY SINGLE EVEREST VIDEO mentions the Sherpas...hell, half of them are ABOUT the Sherpas. And you can't read a comment section without dozens of people mentioning the Sherpas. These dudes get TONS of respect. And rightly so.
@@ChristopherNips81 its apparent you haven't read enough. Sherpas are still underpaid and underappreciated til this day. Many commercial climbers just summit and think they conquered Everest but in fact 80% of the effort is done by Sherpas (fixed ropes, carrying oxygen, camp setup, guiding and assistance)
Arvin W I’m not denying the fact they do the bulk of the work. I’m just saying that every climber on the mountain today, knows everything you just said (in addition to many who don’t climb). As far as them being underpaid, I think you are very incorrect. Experienced Sherpas make the average national salary in two months. In addition, where most Sherpas live, the average salary is MUCH less. Many Sherpas don’t like having to climb Everest as it is obviously dangerous. However, given the lack of opportunities afforded to them, they feel they have little other choice to provide for their family (this came from a Sherpa himself). In other words, if Sherpas didn’t climb, they would make significantly less money.
@@ChristopherNips81 No, I am 100% sure not every climber share the same appreciation for Sherpas, who are often ignored. Just have a look at all the wannabes Everest climbing videos and the lack of mention of their Sherpa buddies. Also, considering the huge amount of risk and the economics in Nepal, 2 months national average salary is nothing. They are indeed very underpaid while being exploited by these foreign commercial groups.
Arvin W The economics of Nepal is relative if you live in that country. Compared to someone from Switzerland or the U.S., of course it is meager by comparison. In Nepal, however, two months of work feeds their family for a year. So tell me how that’s a bad deal? And before you go on about the risk they take, I’m writing this as a U.S. civilian from Afghanistan. I know the risk and I accept it for greater pay. Schools have been built by many climbing charities and organizations so the children of Sherpas have a different choice other than climbing Everest. Perhaps as more of the Sherpa people choose other professions, the price of the climbing Sherpas will increase. But a year’s worth of income for two months...I’m not sure how you downplay that to “underpaid.” All of this said, this is highly subjective and it doesn’t really matter if you and I agree. When I climb Everest, I’ll take good care of my assigned Sherpas and guides, I’ll take down what I take up, and I’ll have the adventure of a lifetime. I’m not sure what else you want from the world.
spectacular work !!!!
Great job!!! Wonderful video
Wow best cinematography from a climber
Other way around... ;)
Kind words. Keep in mind, this was all shooting reality style, up the mountain, at times climbing backwards because no one would stop for me. I wish I would have had time to actually set up some shots, especially on the ridge. Maybe one day. I got into climbing long after getting into video production.
Actually I just looked into what you do and Yes its the other way around... To carry equipment climb ahead of the others and compose shots at extreme altitude and to have to where with all and focus to capture a story up there is amazing! Not to mention setting up setting up the time-lapses overnight. You're an inspiration!
This is one place I wouldn't like to be in, not for even a second, much less try to get there by walking, climbing or whatever. Cheers.
So AWESOME !!!! I’ve made it to Basecamp and pan to go all the way !!!!!!!!
Congrats for climbing and labor used on Top of the world Woow... thx. for video & sharing ...Best regards from Canada! ✌🍁🍷💕🌹🍁👍
Imagine the feeling when you're at the highest point of the world
Forget it, if I ever for a second thought"wow good idea" this has shown me, definitely not. No way will I walk across a ladder with a major drop below 😱😱😱😱😱
Top notch footage....top notch mountain. Shalom! ❄🕊❄
This video is awesome!!!
