      How egotistical and narcissistic do you have to be to think that just having tons of money qualifies you to climb Mount Everest... this has gotten so absolutely out of hand lately... these people put others lives at risk when these inexperienced climbers who think doing a week or 2 at base camp with some aclimitization hikes is considered “climbing experience.” These Sherpas don’t get paid enough as it is, now they’re gonna be responsible for rescuing idiots like this who have ZERO 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.

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! 🎉

    After all that intensive conditioning we still see the sherpas running circles around the mountaineers, carrying up their sleeping bags and setting up their tents. Genes help.

      Also why he didn’t get „kicked out“ after it was clear that he wasn’t in any way prepared.
      He was so inexperienced that he wasn’t even aware that people risk their life to safe him.
      … and to egotistical to admit it afterwards.
      People like him try to conquer Everest every year. Some are not coming back, many still thinking is was major accomplishment not having any clue that other people risking their lives for them.

As someone who is planning on attempting the Journey to the Himalayas to summit the top of the highest point on earth, I really appreciate you taking the time to make this for people like my self. I will definitely have this video on repeat as I train! Thank you!

    Hi, I’m Zach. I’m 16 and my friend and I are working on climbing some of the tallest mountains in the Northeastern US. I’ve been in relatively poor shape for most of my life and only started making an effort to get fit back in February. I’ve since lost 25 pounds and have buffed up a bit. I love Everest content and my life goal is to climb K2. I had recently lost motivation to continue pushing forward but this documentary has given me a renewed view of what I want to achieve. Thank you so much. I wish you nothing but the best in the future. Congrats on Everest!

    Really appreciate this documentary. This is the only one that I've found that provided a lot of details on the acclimatization rotations plus all the preps before the actual summit. Most often the documentaries I saw were much shorter and brief which never spoke to the truth how much more prep and effort were spent before actually heading up the mountain. Absolutely incredible, thank you for sharing.

    I didn't realize I went from 17 minutes to around 40 minutes. I'm so interested and fascinated on this documentary.

      @@FreyaMeows I am usually into almost anything relating to documentaries, especially on nature and adventure of the world. All of it is so interesting and inspires me to see some of these locations someday, because these stories are so fucking cool. 😎

    I’ve seen a lot of Everest documentaries on CZcams and this is the first time I feel I’m actually right there with you through the whole process. Well done. I only been to the base camp on Nepal side but scenery on China side is quite similar. Thanks for reminding me the great memories I had at the foothills of Everest. I will never forget it.

      How did Michael Mathews perish with all of his mates around him, they must have forsaken him, I guess they had their reasons.
