I climbed K2 on June-July of 2018 with Abruzzi route. I reached to the summit at this climbing. Contents: Houses Chimney, Black Pyramid climbing video, Summit view, etc.
Yeah i just don't get it, like 75% of climbing videos all have blaring music over the whole video. Its not even good music either, because most people just use the royalty free stuff.
Absolutely thanks for not putting some crappy music on there, I second that comment, the breathing, wind and crampon sounds on rock make me feel like I’m there, well played
31.46 to 31.51 is insane steepness. That's the most dangerous traverse at 80-90 degree angle in icy conditions at bottleneck. That's the crux section on K2.
this video is one of the best and most ralistic documentaries I have seen on the climb of k2 - I thank the author because he has managed to make me experience the emotions and hardships that exist in this undertaking. in some passages, if it weren't for the fact that I was lying comfortably on my sofa with the fireplace lit in front of me, I thought I was in a roped with him.
Anche secondo me questo e' un video perfetto realizzato nel miglior modo possibile .piu che altro per far vedere anche ai altri scalatori quant' e' difficile e anche terribile scalare il K2 .Congratulazioni per tutt'e due le opere ,sia per la scalata che per il filmato .
The absence of background music, the absence of speech, the long non-stop shootings, the breathing sound, the text breaks, the frozen images... they all contribute to the greatness of this video. It's a fantastic video indeed. Congratulations and regards from Mexico.
FINALLY a video that gives 'Us' the viewer a real taste of what it's like to actually climb K2... even though it's just a very shortened 30 minute version from top to bottom. Huge congrats to you and your team and R.I.P. to those who didn't make it!
@@zorilaz they'd be switching out batteries at this quality every half hour. i couldn't imagine how difficult that would be on a 3 day climb. this is, by far, the best footage i've ever seen!
By far the most frightening, realistic, entertaining videos of ANY mountain climbing experience. Brilliantly done. No music; no spoken word; just the sounds one experiences while actually making the climb. After watching this, at age 75, I think I've finally given up my dream of making the climb. ;-) Thank you all.
Today, as iam from Pakistan..lost a dear mountaineer named, Ali Sadpara..45, is missing along with two other climbers, John Snorri, 47, of Iceland, and Juan Pablo Mohr, 33, of Chile, on K2 ...its a sad for the whole community...We all love you and you all in our thoughts and prayers...
When I’m over 8000 meters, all what motivates me to go further is the thought of the kids in my village, that one day my efforts might improve tourism in this area which might bring opportunities for the kids to have a better education, it’s my dream #alisadpara #K2winter2021
Interesting fact is that K2 was barely first summit over 8K meters climbed by man in 1939. Expedition was led by sandstone climber Fritz Wiessner, they reached over 8300. Fritz is for example author of Stara Cesta on Skalni Koruna in Teplice Rocks which we climbed 3 years ago :)
while I appreciate the effort that goes into these climbs I actually see almost no climbing here at all. Hauling your ass up a bunch of fixed ropes may be tiring but it is no really climbing in the true sense. The lead person on a clean mountain as you say that lays the ropes or breaks the trial is the one really climbing. There is always risk from the environment, cold, wind, thin air, avalanches but most of the climbing risk has been removed which is what allows many of these people to ascend the mountain at all. Solo or Dual efforts on new routes or without existing ropes are what amazes me.......
Totally Serious! This person barely made it up the fixed ropes and ladders when they hit something technical. They would have been stopped for sure if they had to actually climb something...
It really hits hard how pretty much throughout the whole ascent the climber is placing absolute trust in the integrity of the ropes to stop them from falling thousands of metres to their death.
This is the best video on K2 which shows the actual route step by step. In other videos the route doesnt seem so steep but this video shows us the monster K2 actually is. Savage Mountain indeed.
Adrian Michl , k2 is one of the most dangerous mountain on earth. Everyone going there knows someone might die yourself included. There was nothing more to do then keep going. I ´m pretty sure the candian would have kept going too if their fate had been reversed.
More people have been in outer space than on K2! Respect to all those who have summited and all those who have died trying. I can’t even begin to imagine the resolve, determination, fitness and skill it takes to take on such a challenge.
Best quote I've ever heard was: "You climb Everest if you want a nice conversation if you're talking to a girl or you get invited to high school. If you want a nice conversation to get a room full of climbers to shut up and listen, you climb K2." I've never done anything above Kilimanjaro, and this kind of stuff is astonishing. Bravo. Anyone that's ever done even a little climbing or alpining knows how incredible this accomplishment is. It's like winning an Olympic Gold Medal. I've heard of veteran climbers crying just when they get to base camp. Just seeing it is incredible.
If that’s your best quote it’s depressing and kind of stupid. Climbing Everest is still a huge feat and it is technically deadlier than k2 just less skillfully challenging. Your average dude could not get to base camp of Everest.
Not to mention climbing either of these mountains is just as much a flex of unnecessary wealth as it is skill/total luck. K2 is a suicide mission with a 1/4 death ratio where it should make you respect the more reasonable choice of Everest lol
@@friedtofufanand if that's the best comment you can post, you're only showing how clueless you are about alpinism ! Everybody knowing even generic on this subject knows perfectly that the Everest climb is one of easiest, thousands&thousands of people got on top. You may even be a monday night's climber and pay a sherpa to take you on his backs and just carry your butts on top of Everest. Very , very low death toll, extremely easy ranks of climbing. Holy truth, K2 is exactly the opposite, the hardest, deadliest, technically most difficult to climb : out of 4000 who tried only 200 made it , and out of these last only 150 came back still alive. I suggest to you to stop posting, you only made a fool of yourself !!
It looks terrifying to climb this mountain. You even see death occurring right before your eyes and you know it could happen to you with a single slip, but you have to let that go and proceed to the summit. Salute to you for your bravery!
@@fellow7091 Anyone who gets into climbing full well know the risks. Even a mistake on a 100 ft cliff in low country will leave you in a world of hurt if you survive the fall. Making the jump to climbing actual mountains, even if they're only a few thousand feet, brings in a whole magnitude of extra risks to consider. Making the jump to alpine raises that another order of magnitude. Going to the Karakorams and Himalayas is entering into a domain beyond risk management where you are 100% at the mercy of the mountains and the weather. No matter how cautious you are a million and one things can happen outside your control and that's it. You're gone. But the payoff... That's what drives climbers. I love the views from those summits... probably never try it myself. I know my limits. A wise climber trusts their gut and knows their limits. You get a bad vibe while you're on a mountain. Fuck it. Go down. Live to climb another day. A good rule of thumb is go until it no longer makes sense to you. It took me 3 trips to get a good weather window for Mt Shuksan and I've had 5 attempts at Rainier in Washington. I've bagged Shuksan. All 5 tries at Rainier got cut short by weather changes or avalanche risks. After 4 trips to Montana I finally had a weather window hold up to bag the 7 peaks in the Teton Massif. Definitely not the highest or most challenging climbs in the world, but all still have steep technical climbing involved, and lots of exposure. It's a bummer turning away and knowing you'll just have to come back some other time, but I'd much rather still be here, then get stupid and push through when it makes no sense to do so.
there are many great K2 films in youtube, but I think this one is the most authentic. the lack of music and heavy editing makes me feel part of the climb. and appreciate how difficult it really is.
Really great video. RIP Serge Dessureault, (the climber who fell after the rope broke). This video really shows the absolute self belief and balls on these guys and gals. It's also the best video I've seen that shows the sheer physical difficulty of doing this.
if you really want the feeling of climbing K2 this is the perfect video, no music, no crap, straight to the point, only ambient sound, tense and scary, just the way it is
Abruzzi an Italian had climbed K2 in 1954.In 1990s a delegation of Abruzzi team came to Shigar to celebrate Golden Jubilee of k2.They decided to built a school in shigar for the children of Shigar which name is Abruzzi located in Sainkhor markunja Shigar.I studied 6 years of my life in that school from five standard to ten standard. Thank you The Italians.❤️❤️❤️
This is the best K2 video I have seen. As this is the one that shows the nitty gritty of the actual climb which is what I have been curious of seeing. I realized from watching this I could never be able to do what you did. I think only real to life supermen and superwomen could do this.
yea. literally. i've been search for videos all the time to see the REAL climbing, not jump photos. THIS IS SO INTENSE AND REAL. thank you so much for posting. if anyone else knows of other videos like this please share. my god this is impossible (a little joke since you just did it lol)
Agreed. I have become fascinated by the 8Kers and to actually see the climbing is very instructive. It is all vicarious for me. I have COPD and wouldn't last 10 seconds trying. All those old ropes, though! Is that what happens? Climbers just leave their ropes?
Holly shit!... i watched a ton of documentaries, but none gives the feeling of how steep and vertical the climb is - all the way! And here you can fully understand how hard it is in reality. My deep respect to you!
Walking in snow on London roads and parks and making videos seem to be a hard task to me and look to these Heroes, I am speechless. Salutes and respect to all these brave heroes.
Absolutely stunning film work here, and an impressive achievement. Thank you for uploading this, in the time I've been looking, this is one of the first showing the real nitty gritty of the climb, the perspectives and gradients - mind blowing what you guys put yourselves through to get there. Kudos!
holy shit. Nice filming. Really shows the level of difficulty you are dealing with, climbing the savage mountain. Awesome to watch for us that have never climbed but are fascinated by it. Congratulations on the summit!
Stunning, arduous and outright scary! Thanks for sharing an amazing summit video and keeping it raw and void of background music. The sliding snow, roaring winds and heavy breathing are best tracks to listen in such tough climbing videos. And congratulations!
love the honesty of the comment without hyperbola. Here is my version. I felt pretty good about myself after running on a newly built 4 miles wooden bridge way on stilts with some slopes involved. The bridge is sometimes 15-20 feet above the floor. Ew that's some height when jogging and i only stopped a few times. Got home showered, ate some diner. I watched this, finished it in awe almost hysterical from the beauty of the physical fight against the elements and wondered why my little kindergarten run is taxing me so much.
Loved this, thank you so much. I was out of breath most of this video, I can't imagine what it must have been like actually being there. Congrats on the summit!
Congratulations on your magnificent achievement. Your video is without a doubt one of the best, if not THE one, when it comes down to having the real perspective of some of the most famous sections, such as the Black Pyramid and House Chimney. I cannot imagine your toil and the hardships you went through, but you surely provided a very colourful insight of how it may have been. Thank you kindly. Salutes from Brazil.
I am in complete AWE...just watching this my palms sweat. Hearing you breath and catching glimpses of the hight you're at makes me hyperventilate a little. I've seen so many mountain climbing videos now, but yours is truly the closest we viewers will get to actually imagine of being on that icy, brutal and non-forgiving, magnanimous rock that is K2... what an achievement, Bravo Tokyo Hutte.
His labored breathing really puts it into perspective. This is the first climb video where I get the sense of the suffering involved in such a feat. Bravo!
Even if i am paid 1 billion dollars i won't be trying to climb that black pyramid. Man, that just looks incredibly difficult and hard . Hats off to you and all others who climb these monster mountains , and massive respect for those too who try to climb but don't succeed . Even reaching camp2 is an insane achievement.
WOW! My heart was racing just watching you. Lots of old ropes buried in the ice at the chimney. Thanks for posting - this is one of the best videos I've seen
Thanks for showing it from this perspective! I had no idea it was like that and i've watched 20+ K2 videos through the months. You deserve to be happy for this accomplishment, I commend you. Thank you!
Thank you for this video...it really brings home what a feat climbing K2 is without any dramatic flair. Congratulations on your amazing accomplishment!
I've always wanted to see realistically how they climb these mountains. most of the times u never see the real stuff. this was absolutely amazing , literally breathtaking and frightening at the same time. Respect to you mountaineers and kudos for allowing me to witness and experience it from the comfort of my home!! thank you and god bless!!
This is first video of K2 that I have seen that provides best perspective on how difficult it is to climb this mountain. I can feel their pain. Glad that it is raw and no music or talking and no selfie. Just raw K2 experience. Great job!
Congratulations on a fantastic accomplishment! Loved seeing the video of House's Chimney and the Black Pyramid - read about them but always wondered what they looked like. Thanks for sharing!
This is the coolest video ever! As someone with a dream to become a mountain climber, I love seeing it from the climbers point of view; love hearing the sounds that come along with it. Amazing video-- thank you!
I’ve seen this video at least ten times. I absolutely love it because I’m scared to death of heights but this video takes me away from rough days. Absolutely breathtaking.
This video is a cinematography Legend. No bullshiť music, no drama, no plot, just struggle and amazing camera work. This increased my heart beat ngl. Amazing work guys.
I just watch this for the third time and im convinced with is one of the best videos ever made. Because I could watch it a hundred more times and still find it enjoyable.
Missing mountaineers M.A. Sadpara, John Snorri and Pablo made me watch this. We don't know whether we will ever see any of them again. But your love and courage to climb the savage mountain K2 in winter speaks more what words could possibly do. Love you all ❤️❤️❤️.
Hello Tokyo Hutte I congratulate you on climbing K2. Thank you for the beautiful film. There are many unforgettable memories. I wasn't up there. When I climbed Gasherbrum 2 in 1988, I was allowed to see this magnificent mountain. I will never forget this sight. I wish you good tours. With alpine greetings Raphael Wellig
13:00 this is bananas! This video just elevated my understanding of what it really takes to climb K2 and also answered why most people die on the descent. One in four climbers who successfully summit K2 will not survive the descent. For the first time I am given a visual answer. Fantastic video! Thank you!!!
I think I get why K2 is known as ''The Savage Mountain'' now, my heart was pounding so hard while watching you climb. You got some incredible footage and congratulations on your amazing achievement!
Amazing footage, thank you! Imagine being the people who had to be the first to climb up and set the fixed ropes in place to begin with! Just incredible.
Now just imagine summiting this monster in winter? Recently our countryman ali sadpara has gone missing since 6 days. Its absolutely ruthless, monstrous and surreal to climb it in winter. RIP ali sadpara, jhon snori and pablo 😔🇵🇰
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen. Thank you so much for this. Few videos truly capture the intensity of K2, this one does it mostly justice. Congratulations from USA. I will be there someday.
I can't believe what I have seen is real, amazing video, goosebumps all over, and at 30:00 minute, standing at the top of a very steep mountain and seeing nothing but clouds beneath you, OMG now I know what people mean when they say only the best of the best mountaineers make it to K2 summit and lucky ones make it back.
Amazing video, super scary and difficult. Makes me have even more respect for the badass mountaineers and climbers who set these routes and climb without fixed ropes.
Yo at about 7 to 8:30 to 9:00 was giving me butterflies in my stomach yo Hats off to the Men and Women Who have conquered K2 summited and returned to give us this amazing footage and God bless and rest the souls of those who parrished and didn't make it back down You all are not forgotten R.I.P. Thank you from Thomas White Greensboro NC 27283
That's one hell of an experience! Thank you for the awesome footage. I feel bad for those who have perished climbing k2, but that's life, it's either you succeed on achieving what you want or die trying.
Wonderful video and extraordinary achievement! Congratulations! One of the very best first-person views on what an endeavour it is to climb K2. A little surreal to see the places where you know famous climbers have succumbed - Bottleneck, the traverse, etc. One can really see and hear what strain it is, for each little step sustained tachynpnoea. Again, congratulations on a super-achievement! I myself was resting on the beach in Nice on July 21 and 22....
Wow that has to be the best most no frills and pure mountaineering video on CZcams I watch them all and this new one sets such a high mark Standard I never imagined that Canadians falling and rolling body could twist and drop so quick !!! Mind boggling!!!!!
This is amazing footage. As of today, K2 is officially off my bucket list! I can't imagine how people can climb this mountain. Thanks so much for sharing! p.s So sad to see that climber falling down near the start. May he/she rest in peace.
It's crazy how much you depend on ropes. I would definitely be freaking out even with brand new ropes. Those rocks are so sharp. It's also crazy when you see how steep it actually is. Alot of videos I watch u can't really tell the grading but now I know why people fall and sometimes are never seen again. Awesome video this was the real deal of climbing videos
my once well cared for athletic body allows me to be in places above the clouds...skiing the mountains...how awesome....and so long ago. Wrong doctors entered my life and now my bed has become more n more of a permanent residence. Recording your journey up to the top showing the world what so few ever get to see...how majestic magnificent & demanding respect of Nature. She is wonderous as she is awe inspiring. I think so often I Am ready to give up & leave this world.....I've helped so many & even healed just as many...my deep medical background...then being a true death experiencer...the Truths I've spoken so the public will not fall for the mountains of medical lies...for this I pay a heavy heavy price. To record your adventure to where so few have made & so many lost everything....may they be in peace & rejoicings...to share this achievement w/us...all sistah's n brutha's thru our the world deep gratitude for your unselfishness. You make me think if I could just reach the right help...I could be back on top of my game...yes it wouldn't take much. But any way...to see what the world looks from such a place is like touching where Angels Dwell. Thank You & may all your endeavors bless you & always return you safely back to your loved ones.
What a video! I've watched a few documentaries but this is the only thing I've seen that really captures the feel of the actual climb! Brilliant footage! Brave folk.
Whenever I watch stuff like this what comes to mind is that somebody went first and laid those ropes and ladders! Additionally, I could NEVER NEVER have the balls to do anything like this.
Imagin how it was when the italiens made the first ascent in 1954 on this route. Allways someone who have to go first. To lead and to smash in some bolts here and there. Dont think they have ice screws back then. And those stiff old hemp ropes. It must have been an amazing achievement.
Yeah I don't get that. You mean the Sherpas go all the way up and affix those ropes ahead of the actual climbers?? So it is the sherpas who are the actual climbers, right?
Thank you all for such a fantastic video! The lack of a sound narrative and music makes it feel as though I am on the mountain , the heavy breathing , the rocks , snow and ice so close, the placing of the hands and the feet , a really exciting feeling to see how it is done.
Excellent work. It reminds me of the time I climbed K2 with nothing more than a pair of 1998 Air Jordons, pair of Walmart Starter basketball shorts and a wind breaker..different times my friend
Thanks for this wonderful video from a climber's perspective! When I see video like this I always think of those who climbed for the first time those slopes.
full respect, and thanks for the video.Can't imagine how you manage to make shooting while doing THIS. I've read so much books on climbing, but it's the first video that gives full immersion on how this is done and how this really happens. Cool stuff. And RIP all those who didn't make it.
thank you so much for not putting in music! I love hearing the snow crunching, the breathing, the wind. Amazing
Better than fear factor! Realism here is gut wrenching!! My hands are sweating watching this. Now that's a good video.....no music needed!
Yeah i just don't get it, like 75% of climbing videos all have blaring music over the whole video. Its not even good music either, because most people just use the royalty free stuff.

No matter how cautious you are a million and one things can happen outside your control and that's it. You're gone. But the payoff... That's what drives climbers. I love the views from those summits... probably never try it myself. I know my limits. A wise climber trusts their gut and knows their limits. You get a bad vibe while you're on a mountain. Fuck it. Go down. Live to climb another day. A good rule of thumb is go until it no longer makes sense to you. It took me 3 trips to get a good weather window for Mt Shuksan and I've had 5 attempts at Rainier in Washington. I've bagged Shuksan. All 5 tries at Rainier got cut short by weather changes or avalanche risks. After 4 trips to Montana I finally had a weather window hold up to bag the 7 peaks in the Teton Massif. Definitely not the highest or most challenging climbs in the world, but all still have steep technical climbing involved, and lots of exposure. It's a bummer turning away and knowing you'll just have to come back some other time, but I'd much rather still be here, then get stupid and push through when it makes no sense to do so.
there are many great K2 films in youtube, but I think this one is the most authentic. the lack of music and heavy editing makes me feel part of the climb. and appreciate how difficult it really is.

Really great video. RIP Serge Dessureault, (the climber who fell after the rope broke). This video really shows the absolute self belief and balls on these guys and gals. It's also the best video I've seen that shows the sheer physical difficulty of doing this.
May he rest in peace.

Til today, I thought calling K2 a savage mountain was a bit exageratted. Now I think calling it savage is maybe an understatement
My thoughts exactly :D
@@juhah in. san. it. y.
Everest looks like a piece of cake now
@T - Rex Actually it's 1 in 5... not 1 in 3
@James Curry I all ready know I'll bring my Christmas mug
if you really want the feeling of climbing K2 this is the perfect video, no music, no crap, straight to the point, only ambient sound, tense and scary, just the way it is
Abruzzi an Italian had climbed K2 in 1954.In 1990s a delegation of Abruzzi team came to Shigar to celebrate Golden Jubilee of k2.They decided to built a school in shigar for the children of Shigar which name is Abruzzi located in Sainkhor markunja Shigar.I studied 6 years of my life in that school from five standard to ten standard. Thank you The Italians.❤️❤️❤️
Thanks to you and special greets from Italy 🇮🇹 ! God bless you for all your life.
@@carlobrotto7132 you are welcome and also thanks for all those Italians who initiated this excellent school in my village Shigar.❤️🙌
This is the best K2 video I have seen. As this is the one that shows the nitty gritty of the actual climb which is what I have been curious of seeing. I realized from watching this I could never be able to do what you did. I think only real to life supermen and superwomen could do this.
Thank you! I am happy that you feel like climbing by yourself actually and enjoyed it.
yep
yea. literally. i've been search for videos all the time to see the REAL climbing, not jump photos. THIS IS SO INTENSE AND REAL. thank you so much for posting. if anyone else knows of other videos like this please share. my god this is impossible (a little joke since you just did it lol)
Agreed. I have become fascinated by the 8Kers and to actually see the climbing is very instructive. It is all vicarious for me. I have COPD and wouldn't last 10 seconds trying. All those old ropes, though! Is that what happens? Climbers just leave their ropes?
AnthonyUK totally agree some of the technical aspects are tricky at sea level much less the dead zone
Holly shit!... i watched a ton of documentaries, but none gives the feeling of how steep and vertical the climb is - all the way! And here you can fully understand how hard it is in reality. My deep respect to you!
Walking in snow on London roads and parks and making videos seem to be a hard task to me and look to these Heroes, I am speechless. Salutes and respect to all these brave heroes.
They aren't really heroes they aren't helping anybody exept themselves but they are brave
Absolutely stunning film work here, and an impressive achievement.
Thank you for uploading this, in the time I've been looking, this is one of the first showing the real nitty gritty of the climb, the perspectives and gradients - mind blowing what you guys put yourselves through to get there. Kudos!
No stupid music. Just gorgeous scenery, heavy breathing and bliss. Very high quality video thank you
holy shit. Nice filming. Really shows the level of difficulty you are dealing with, climbing the savage mountain. Awesome to watch for us that have never climbed but are fascinated by it. Congratulations on the summit!
Eirik well said! I got dizzy watching this.
Stunning, arduous and outright scary! Thanks for sharing an amazing summit video and keeping it raw and void of background music. The sliding snow, roaring winds and heavy breathing are best tracks to listen in such tough climbing videos. And congratulations!
Thank you, Tokyo Hutte, for sharing your amazing journey, and most of all for getting down safely. You showed us K2 in a way no words could.
I just ran 5 miles and there were some hills involved. I showered, got my dinner and just finished watching this. I now feel like a pathetic loser. 😎
hahaha I honestly expected a completely different ending to your comment! Cheers!
love the honesty of the comment without hyperbola. Here is my version. I felt pretty good about myself after running on a newly built 4 miles wooden bridge way on stilts with some slopes involved. The bridge is sometimes 15-20 feet above the floor. Ew that's some height when jogging and i only stopped a few times. Got home showered, ate some diner. I watched this, finished it in awe almost hysterical from the beauty of the physical fight against the elements and wondered why my little kindergarten run is taxing me so much.
Don't be so hard on yourself. You're more of a bore than a loser.
Think of what you just did as preparation for the big climb buddy!
Loved this, thank you so much. I was out of breath most of this video, I can't imagine what it must have been like actually being there. Congrats on the summit!
Congratulations on your magnificent achievement. Your video is without a doubt one of the best, if not THE one, when it comes down to having the real perspective of some of the most famous sections, such as the Black Pyramid and House Chimney. I cannot imagine your toil and the hardships you went through, but you surely provided a very colourful insight of how it may have been. Thank you kindly. Salutes from Brazil.
I am in complete AWE...just watching this my palms sweat. Hearing you breath and catching glimpses of the hight you're at makes me hyperventilate a little. I've seen so many mountain climbing videos now, but yours is truly the closest we viewers will get to actually imagine of being on that icy, brutal and non-forgiving, magnanimous rock that is K2... what an achievement, Bravo Tokyo Hutte.
His labored breathing really puts it into perspective. This is the first climb video where I get the sense of the suffering involved in such a feat. Bravo!
Unbelievable photography. I especially love that shot of the full moon. Thank you for sharing! Congratulations, what an amazing accomplishment!
Even if i am paid 1 billion dollars i won't be trying to climb that black pyramid. Man, that just looks incredibly difficult and hard . Hats off to you and all others who climb these monster mountains , and massive respect for those too who try to climb but don't succeed . Even reaching camp2 is an insane achievement.
you have to get past house’s chimney just to get up to camp 2
Congratulations Semba San. What a beautiful video and story. You made K2 come alive. Thank you and hope to see more of your work. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
WOW! My heart was racing just watching you. Lots of old ropes buried in the ice at the chimney. Thanks for posting - this is one of the best videos I've seen
one of the best uploads I have seen. It really captures how difficult it is, the steepness is mesmerising.
Thanks for showing it from this perspective! I had no idea it was like that and i've watched 20+ K2 videos through the months. You deserve to be happy for this accomplishment, I commend you. Thank you!
This video is the best I have come across about climbing K2. Thank you so much for putting up this video. I love every second of it.
Thank you for this video...it really brings home what a feat climbing K2 is without any dramatic flair. Congratulations on your amazing accomplishment!
thank you so much for not putting in music! I love hearing the snow crunching, the breathing, the wind. Amazing!
I've always wanted to see realistically how they climb these mountains. most of the times u never see the real stuff. this was absolutely amazing , literally breathtaking and frightening at the same time. Respect to you mountaineers and kudos for allowing me to witness and experience it from the comfort of my home!! thank you and god bless!!
This is first video of K2 that I have seen that provides best perspective on how difficult it is to climb this mountain. I can feel their pain. Glad that it is raw and no music or talking and no selfie. Just raw K2 experience. Great job!
Congratulations on a fantastic accomplishment! Loved seeing the video of House's Chimney and the Black Pyramid - read about them but always wondered what they looked like. Thanks for sharing!
This is one of the best mountaineering videos I’re ever seen Thank you so Munch for this and a big congratulations /Björne Sweden❤️👍🇸🇪
Thanks for sharing your experience and let us get to grips with the humongous difficulty that is climbing K2. Congratulations!
This is the coolest video ever! As someone with a dream to become a mountain climber, I love seeing it from the climbers point of view; love hearing the sounds that come along with it. Amazing video-- thank you!
yes in this video you can feel this hard climb
I’ve seen this video at least ten times. I absolutely love it because I’m scared to death of heights but this video takes me away from rough days. Absolutely breathtaking.
Best K2 video ever by far. Incredible footage. It really shows how hard the climb is. And it's very well documented.
This video is a cinematography Legend. No bullshiť music, no drama, no plot, just struggle and amazing camera work. This increased my heart beat ngl. Amazing work guys.
AMAZING!!! By far the best climbing video I've ever seen. Excellent quality, excellent editing. Congratulations on your achievement! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Incredible! Congratulations on your accomplishment and thank you for sharing the climb with us.
I just watch this for the third time and im convinced with is one of the best videos ever made. Because I could watch it a hundred more times and still find it enjoyable.
Spectacular video and an intimate look at climbing one of the world's toughest high peaks. Thank you.
Missing mountaineers M.A. Sadpara, John Snorri and Pablo made me watch this. We don't know whether we will ever see any of them again. But your love and courage to climb the savage mountain K2 in winter speaks more what words could possibly do. Love you all ❤️❤️❤️.
Congratulations on a great summit. RIP to those that perished. Thank you for taking such clear video.
Thank you for allowing us to climb K2 vicariously through you...
Uncle Teddy Bear 🐻... I must admit this is a great video
Hello Tokyo Hutte
I congratulate you on climbing K2. Thank you for the beautiful film. There are many unforgettable memories.
I wasn't up there. When I climbed Gasherbrum 2 in 1988, I was allowed to see this magnificent mountain. I will never forget this sight.
I wish you good tours.
With alpine greetings
Raphael Wellig
My stress was through the roof just by watching your video! Congrats on accomplishing an amazing task! RIP to those who did not make it.
Wow! What an incredible achievement, congratulations! Thank you for the amazing first person look at this climb.
13:00 this is bananas! This video just elevated my understanding of what it really takes to climb K2 and also answered why most people die on the descent. One in four climbers who successfully summit K2 will not survive the descent. For the first time I am given a visual answer. Fantastic video! Thank you!!!
One of the most valuable video ever uploaded to CZcams. Thank you so much. Just amazing.
The absolutely best climbing doku I ever saw. Without any strange music or time filling non since comments and conversations. Congratulations !
I think I get why K2 is known as ''The Savage Mountain'' now, my heart was pounding so hard while watching you climb.
You got some incredible footage and congratulations on your amazing achievement!
Amazing footage, thank you! Imagine being the people who had to be the first to climb up and set the fixed ropes in place to begin with! Just incredible.
Now just imagine summiting this monster in winter? Recently our countryman ali sadpara has gone missing since 6 days. Its absolutely ruthless, monstrous and surreal to climb it in winter. RIP ali sadpara, jhon snori and pablo 😔🇵🇰
RIP ali sadpara allah help him
Suna bhai mne b...Sad...He was one of the finest climbers from south Asia.
Beast of a Climber. So sad to hear about the 3 dissapearing.
@@kartiktomar7882 yes he was one of our best. Bt mounting k2 in winter is never a good idea. May they rest in peace.
And Bulgarian Atanas Skatov,he died a week go on K2. He fell down just before the summit! He climbed 10x8000x and was vegan!!!
The best mountaineering video I have EVER watched. Hearing you struggle to breathe - it's gripping.
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen. Thank you so much for this. Few videos truly capture the intensity of K2, this one does it mostly justice.
Congratulations from USA. I will be there someday.
Did you put a Go-Pro on your helmet?
please dont't!
This is such a RAW and amazing video thank you for sharing it with us! I'm so sorry for the canadian climber who died in the early climb :( RIP
best actual video I've seen which really shows you the technical aspects of high mountaineering... great work and congratulations on your climb.
I can't believe what I have seen is real, amazing video, goosebumps all over, and at 30:00 minute, standing at the top of a very steep mountain and seeing nothing but clouds beneath you, OMG now I know what people mean when they say only the best of the best mountaineers make it to K2 summit and lucky ones make it back.
only few other videos that i've ever saw in my life managed to gave me emotions like this one!, congratulations!
Amazing video, super scary and difficult. Makes me have even more respect for the badass mountaineers and climbers who set these routes and climb without fixed ropes.
Yo at about 7 to 8:30 to 9:00 was giving me butterflies in my stomach yo Hats off to the Men and Women Who have conquered K2 summited and returned to give us this amazing footage and God bless and rest the souls of those who parrished and didn't make it back down You all are not forgotten R.I.P. Thank you from Thomas White Greensboro NC 27283
That's one hell of an experience! Thank you for the awesome footage. I feel bad for those who have perished climbing k2, but that's life, it's either you succeed on achieving what you want or die trying.
Wonderful video and extraordinary achievement! Congratulations! One of the very best first-person views on what an endeavour it is to climb K2. A little surreal to see the places where you know famous climbers have succumbed - Bottleneck, the traverse, etc. One can really see and hear what strain it is, for each little step sustained tachynpnoea. Again, congratulations on a super-achievement! I myself was resting on the beach in Nice on July 21 and 22....
Wow that has to be the best most no frills and pure mountaineering video on CZcams I watch them all and this new one sets such a high mark Standard I never imagined that Canadians falling and rolling body could twist and drop so quick !!! Mind boggling!!!!!
Great video, thanks for uploading this. It gives you a glimpse of what you're up against. Outstanding achievement to climb this mountain. 👍
Incredible, cant imagine the first to do any route, with out the pre run lines. Great doc , thank you.
This is amazing footage. As of today, K2 is officially off my bucket list! I can't imagine how people can climb this mountain. Thanks so much for sharing! p.s So sad to see that climber falling down near the start. May he/she rest in peace.
A fascinating condensation of your epic climb! Excellent and inspirational! Congratulations to all!
It's crazy how much you depend on ropes. I would definitely be freaking out even with brand new ropes. Those rocks are so sharp. It's also crazy when you see how steep it actually is. Alot of videos I watch u can't really tell the grading but now I know why people fall and sometimes are never seen again. Awesome video this was the real deal of climbing videos
my once well cared for athletic body allows me to be in places above the clouds...skiing the mountains...how awesome....and so long ago. Wrong doctors entered my life and now my bed has become more n more of a permanent residence. Recording your journey up to the top showing the world what so few ever get to see...how majestic magnificent & demanding respect of Nature. She is wonderous as she is awe inspiring. I think so often I Am ready to give up & leave this world.....I've helped so many & even healed just as many...my deep medical background...then being a true death experiencer...the Truths I've spoken so the public will not fall for the mountains of medical lies...for this I pay a heavy heavy price. To record your adventure to where so few have made & so many lost everything....may they be in peace & rejoicings...to share this achievement w/us...all sistah's n brutha's thru our the world deep gratitude for your unselfishness. You make me think if I could just reach the right help...I could be back on top of my game...yes it wouldn't take much. But any way...to see what the world looks from such a place is like touching where Angels Dwell. Thank You & may all your endeavors bless you & always return you safely back to your loved ones.
That climbing footage was intense! The best I've ever seen. Bravo!
Simplesmente espetacular!!! Parabéns ao grupo pela gentileza de compartilhar está belíssima aventura.
Muito obrigado!!!
What a video!
I've watched a few documentaries but this is the only thing I've seen that really captures the feel of the actual climb! Brilliant footage! Brave folk.
yes this is the best one, you can really feel how hard it is to climb
Seeing him climbing them ropes gave me a whole new respect for those who make the summit,dear Sir you do have top shelf bragging rites.
Whenever I watch stuff like this what comes to mind is that somebody went first and laid those ropes and ladders! Additionally, I could NEVER NEVER have the balls to do anything like this.
I'm thinking of the same every time i see those ladders and ropes, lol
Same here
My balls entered my tummy in fear
Ken Munoz Actually you could if the desire was strong enough, it's amazing what we can overcome👍
Imagin how it was when the italiens made the first ascent in 1954 on this route. Allways someone who have to go first. To lead and to smash in some bolts here and there. Dont think they have ice screws back then. And those stiff old hemp ropes.
It must have been an amazing achievement.
Yeah I don't get that. You mean the Sherpas go all the way up and affix those ropes ahead of the actual climbers?? So it is the sherpas who are the actual climbers, right?
Thank you all for such a fantastic video! The lack of a sound narrative and music makes it feel as though I am on the mountain , the heavy breathing , the rocks , snow and ice so close, the placing of the hands and the feet , a really exciting feeling to see how it is done.
Such an excellent video, thanks so much for sharing. Just another grand mountain I've arm chair climbed along with you. Breath taking views.
Excellent work. It reminds me of the time I climbed K2 with nothing more than a pair of 1998 Air Jordons, pair of Walmart Starter basketball shorts and a wind breaker..different times my friend
Lmao
Thanks for this wonderful video from a climber's perspective! When I see video like this I always think of those who climbed for the first time those slopes.
full respect, and thanks for the video.Can't imagine how you manage to make shooting while doing THIS. I've read so much books on climbing, but it's the first video that gives full immersion on how this is done and how this really happens. Cool stuff. And RIP all those who didn't make it.
Congratulations. I held my breath throughout the whole video. Thrilling!
You must be so fit mentally and physically. Absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing this rad video dude
