We summited on the 7th October, so autumn season

Hope you enjoyed EBC, I've actually never been there. I used the DJI Air 2S for all the drone footage. The tricky part is getting a permit in Nepal, it's pretty much impossible...sadly

@@adidoesultra9777 Yeah, I went back and read some of the comments on your videos, and saw the part about the permits….that is sad! Your footage was stunning and inspiring! Thank you!

I cannot recommend Namas Adventure for Baruntse, as said in the video. You'd have to have a look at more experienced companies, I think adventure consultants offers Baruntse as well. Or ask around. The whole trip was about 13.000€

It should be, yes. But we don't know about underlying health issues or problems during the acclimatization phase (GI issues, flu etc). This really impacts how well you acclimatizate and may lead to AMS or worse

It's fun and terrifying at the same time! Definitely an adventure!

Thanks man, means a lot to me! Go out and enjoy the nature

The expedition was around 7.000€ and with hotels, summit tip etc I payed around 8.000€ Its actually quite cheap for such an expedition and speaks to the company. They don't offer luxury, but solid service for a fair price!

@@adidoesultra9777 thanks mate!

No, we had Sherpas and a guide (head Sherpa) with us. It's required in Nepal and we couldn't do it without

Well if you have any questions, feel free to ask them! I'll try my best to answee

@@adidoesultra9777 Thanks. 1. How many days to arrive to Mera Peak? 2. I intend to do as well, have a helicopter pick up in the Mera Peak region and fly back to Lukla. how long was that flight? 3. is the trail up in Mera Peak mark? 4. looks in the video not much tourist or groups going up Mera Peak 5. How is the weather going up to Mera Peak Summit, temp you can expect? 6. i saw you flying the drone. did you need a permit? last year i did not get a permit, i was not aware and the police was waiting on me on one of the check points. since that was told to my guide, we left the drone in one tea house and continue the expedition to everest base camp without the drone. thanks

1.I don't know it by memory, but depends on which route you take and how many rest days you take. 2. Heli flight is short, maybe 15min 3. The trail isn't really marked, but it's easy to follow, especially with maps and waysigns 4. The day before we're a lot of groups and on our day about 8 groups as well, but we we're first, so not many people there 5. Weather is always an issue and hard to predict, but -20°C and some wind is to be expected. 6. I was exempted from the need of a drone permit due to professional reasons/connections. But normally you do need one which is hard to get

Thanks man! I went with Namas Adventure but honestly can't recommend them. There were quite a few things that went wrong that just can't go wrong on a trip like that. I know, only a few companies offer it, that's why I went with namas in the first place...

@@adidoesultra9777 please, another question...do you think a double boot is enough to Baruntse or it's mandatory triple boots like those used in Everest?

I'll definitely be back in the future!

@@adidoesultra9777 We would love that!

Ah yeah, I remember seeing you from time to time!

Thank you 😘

There's an argument to be had which the highest trekking peak is, as did others comment. There's no glacier on Aconcagua which is a no-go for me

Is Aconcagua not trekking peak?

It's definitely worth it!

@@adidoesultra9777 I’m fit and doing this first time. What is your advice?

Naja, kommt ja immer auf das persönliche können drauf an. Zu empfehlen ist es natürlich immer!

Danke dir! Hätte mir das vor einigen Jahren auch nicht zugetraut, aber schon Wahnsinn, wie man sich da steigern kann!

No problem!

The video camera is the GoPro Hero 9, the drone is the DJI Air2S and the pictures are from an iPhone and my grandpa's Leica Thanks man!

War echt ne mega Landschaft zum laufen!

Danke, das freut mich zu hören. Wir waren dort mit Namas Adventure. Am Mera Peak hat alles gut geklappt, aber später hatten wir einige Probleme damit. Deswegen würde ich Namas nicht wirklich empfehlen. Schau mal bei Diamir Erlebnisreisen ins Programm - mit denen war ich schon oft unterwegs und es war immer sehr gut organisiert!

Thank you! Not as beautiful as the MountainMan in the Grossarltal, but still a nice scenery :)

Now you heard about it. It's a bit weird, cause their Annapurna IV expeditions are and we're quite successful. I have the DJI Air2S which served me really well so far

Someone else commented on it already, you're right.

Ich erinnere mich - am letzten Anstieg hab ich dich noch geholt 😁 War echt n mega cooles event!

Thank you man!!!

Mit diamir hab ich bislang echt auch nur gute Erfahrungen gemacht!

Das stimmt, aber da wäre schon noch einiges drin gewesen. Weiter vorne starten, anfangs schneller laufen etc - man lernt draus

Danke dir! Damals war das echt noch unvorstellbar, mittlerweile eher die Ordnung 😂

Danke dir! Da wäre noch mehr drin gewesen, muss jetzt wirklich immer weiter vorne starten 😅

Danke dir! Ist definitiv wirklich eine Reise wert! Schon allein der Trek dorthin ist wahnsinnig schön

Thanks! That's really how I felt!

Danke 😁 Das auf dem Video ist allerdings Tim, ich bin mit der Cam hinterhergelaufen. Vielleicht find ich ja mal jemand, der mich verfolgt und filmt...

Thank you! It really was quite an adventure in such a beautiful place

I'm happy if you found it helpful!

I'm always up for answering questions. Just DM me on Instagram or comment and I'll answer your questions :)

Thank you very much! Still a bit annoyed we didn't summit...but hey, at least we all stayed healthy

Danke dir! War echt ne super Tour bei klasse Wetter und ist definitiv immer n Ausflug wert

Thank you very much! Regarding your questions: We had 2,5 days of rest after arriving at camp which we used to hike around Basecamp, eat, rest and prepare our equipment. After acclimatization (this will depend on how your rotations are planned) we had more rest days than planned due to bad weather, I think 4 in total. We left Basecamp 2 days earlier than our itinerary said cause we summited and went back to Kathmandu. I'd rather have a few more rest days that you won't use but you're able to postbone in case of bad weather than having bad weather and no summit push window. I hope this helps. If anything is left unclear, feel free to comment with further questions!

Hey can I have your number? I am also planning to do this year

@@asreensandhu765 contact me on Instagram, my name is AdiDoesUltra as well. I'll try to answer your questions there

Thank you! The additional day at Khare is definitely something that I would recommend to be fully rested for the summit push

Thank you very much! It's definitely one of the best drone shots of my life! Felt so surreal up there!

Danke dir! Ich war am 13.04.2024 oben - also vor drei Wochen. Danach hat es ja nochmal gut geschneit. Wenn ich die Webcam am Jenner anschaue, dürften die Bedingungen jetzt wieder ähnlich wie vor drei Wochen sein.

Thank you - wish you all the best. Let's hope you have the same good weather as we did!

@@adidoesultra9777 I did EBC in October 2023 and weather treated us very good so hoping for a repeat this coming fall. Again...Great Job on Your Video

Definitely worth going! Especially since you can use the old elevator inside the mountain to arrive "in" the residence!

If you're into climbing mountains, this should definitely be on your list. The view is amazing and one of the best I ever had in my life!

Yeah, I've heard many stories about really good and also some quite bad companies. Sucks that it's really hard to know in advance if you book a trip. Tried my best to argument why I wouldn't recommend this exact company

@@adidoesultra9777 As your list indicates, many of these guiding companies will promise - often in writing - anything to get the money, and then will blatantly violate the terms of that contract to maximize their profit margins. Usually this is through denial and/or reduction of services. There seems to be an assumption that the client works for the guide. Sadly - in Nepal - written agreements are not enforceable.

@@mtw2457 Yeah, we even had two guys thinking about sueing them for breach of contract, but as you say, its hard to enforce...

@@adidoesultra9777 The most surprising things? 1. After two weeks on the GHT, how monotonous and boring the Himalaya become. 2. How over rated the trail is in terms of physical conditioning required. I greatly over trained, and that really added to the boredom factor.
