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.

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?

Well I mean you don't have to.

:))

There's a zip line! Apparently it's "Quite a ride"

I’ve dealed with that

Cause I own a helicopter 🚁

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.

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.

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.

@IS350 F Sport What Happens 😂😂

Americans are the best climbers! Americans help sherpas up the mountain and even pay them to show respect.

@@Zezam_ I hope you're kidding

doesn't mount Everest need to be renamed due to the many who plugged her into programmes ?

@@bobvandam928 Mount Everest is English name which is named in the honour of George Everest. Nepali Name of Mt. Everest is Sagarmatha which means Peak of heaven.

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

$10,000 cost for a cameraman.

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.

Have you considered that the firmament doesn’t mean a literal impenetrable dome?

@@zakwanberlin I absolutely did...for 47 years.

You should be😉

@@blackbird7156 😊

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!!

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🔝

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?

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

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👍

Be thankful you live in Norway and not Sweden. I'm pretty sure saying "blessings in Christ" is considered hate speech there now..

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!

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,

Ganbatte! I also want to talk to my friends about this..

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

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.

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$

Balls can be solved with an implant but money... Just joking.

At least you are honest......

Yes that is really disheartening. As more people take on the journey . Leaving behind what’s not useful anymore

Where u from ana?

HELP

Why?

It cost like 50,000-100,000 to climb Everest. This video might motivate ppl to want to climb it, but I assure you they probably won’t or can’t afford it. So just enjoy the beautiful film

There is a lot of backlash to balance the enthusiasm of climbing Everest. Some see it as an ultimate challenge. Others a vainglorious pursuit of self gratification / glorification .There is no doubt climbing Everest is controversial, as each side has very valid points. It's not easy , but with money guides and keepers it's easier. It's an ultimate challenge that leaves bodies, garbage and human waste on what is considered a sacred mountain. It provides Sherpas with an income hardly any job can match in Nepal, but it might leave them dead. Both sides of the argument are pretty polarized .

"ok mom" - every person who has accomplished great things

@@westwindsailer there're rich entitled folks that literally expect the sherpa to do everything for them .

it is!

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!

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!

Exactly!

Farmed food thousands of years after it was done without it; fixed places of living; governments making all decisions. Everything that is modern day life was once difficult or the instruments making it easier did not exist. What do humans have to prove and to whom? We can survive by making life difficult, yet we don't. Similarly, there is nothing wrong in these mountaineers using some equipment and professional help.

The point is, and it's a personal one, in my book they are not real mountaineers. They have not learned their craft, they pay others who have. They are in the same club as all those tourists who are guided up Kilimanjaro. It's not about gear, it's about knowledge, skill, decision-making and self-reliance.

Seriously? The last year without a fatality on Everest was 1977 ... it's insanely hard to do even with modern technology and experience guides ... it's punishing on your body if you have not spent your life at high altitudes. So yeah ... it's an accomplishment that you can be proud of.

@@barryolaith Do a bit of research on the fatality rate for Kilimanjaro climbers compared with Everest. Not the "same club" at all.

Believe in your Dreams!
