I highly recommend his Netflix docufilm. He’s incredible, along with his team and the Sherpa community. They deserve all the recognition and appreciation.
Watched it a few times already! One of my favorites
Was such a great documentary!
Nims is the man. "14 Peaks" is a great documentary
I just don't get it. Props to those who do.
Love that movie
14 peaks
Nims is a Superhero! 🙌💪🙏❤️
When you're from a country that most of the villages are Miles high, your body is acclimated.
I've just done 12-13,000 ft
"Call on the Lord in the day of trouble
and he will deliver you."
-Psalm 50 : 15
You could explain it 1M time I will never understand how there's no air in a region of the world
Can you dope like Lance Armstrong and climb?
"Nature can heal." Absolutely true. 🙏🙏
Boost Oxygen is awesome at high altitude! 95% oxygen in canister and its practically weightless. I take them on any high altitude climb.
Dont you need continous oxygen for long periods of time on high altitude climbs? Boost oxygen wont work.
And this is why I don’t trust to climb Mount Everest.
Everest is one of the easiest climbs out of the 14 peaks. Mountains like K2, Annapurna, and Kangchenjunga are on another level entirely.
If you go hiking in the mountains without a certain knowledge and awareness........then you get what you're asking for. Hypoxemia means you have a condition of deficient oxygen. It occurs at high altitudes where less and less oxygen is available the higher you climb.
During the documentary all I could think is how reckless and risky doing this in such a short time is. I hope nobody tries to break the record.
lol still no awards for this master peace ... thats exactly how world divided ... but Nims don't care and we don't care... This documentary and his groups journey will be spoken for years
Why is this on ABC News? To increase clicks to the struggling ABC News? I think so
Keep away from ALL dangerous places where ever they maybe. NEVER take risks.
Why climb in the first place? Theres no point. Nothing in there. Just climb via google maps. No sweat!!
Lol
So this czcams.com/video/MHKjFH6dk6Y/video.html is what happened.....
Not nearly as dangerous as being maskless on a plane though. Am I right? Eh?! Eh??!
Quite an achievement. However he didn't climb the entire mountain, he compressed the time by climbing from base camp to summit which generally is 10k - 11k feet. So he summitted the 14 peaks while skipping the first 16k - 18k feet of the trek / climb. Nonetheless, very notable effort.
Experienced climbers don’t usually do the full trek. They take helicopters to the base camp because their bodies can quickly adapt to high altitudes. And people who climb Mount Everest from the Chinese side don’t even have to trek to the base camp. They can just drive there.
@@Mrsamj1989 depends on the finances, mountain and the country. Helo is a very expensive proposition at those altitudes. Many trek to the base camp for conditioning and ensure that the gear gets to the base camp.
@@globetrotternews they do the conditioning after they get to base camp since they can handle the altitudes already. Lukla is already situated above 9000 feet so trekking another 8500 or so meters to base camp doesn’t make a huge difference for the experienced climbers.
@@Mrsamj1989 EBC has the infrastructure to do what you are saying. K2 does not. So it all depends on the mountain, finances and the condition plan of the team. I do know teams who summitted Everest trekked from Lukela to EBC for the above reasons.
Old subject. ABC must be taking a break from propaganda today.
