Omg, pay the porters and sherpas. Pay them well, above and beyond what they normally get, because they're risking their lives to support your stupid egos.

At 33:54 when chico says the snow was bad and I turned around is when he went three notches up in my book.

I’ve been sick a couple times above 16,000 feet, trekking in foreign countries. As bad a feeling as you can possibly imagine

tipping someone 15 bucks for 14 days work is insane. I guess the climbers are glad the mountain is not in merica

i love how they didnt reach the summit. showing all the lessons beyond the initial perceived vicotry

Turning around while high on the mountain would be incredibly difficult for a highly motivated climber like 'Topo', yet it was absolutely the wise decision. No summit is worth permanent injury or worse. Live to climb another day. Well done to all climbers.

Спасибо!!! Крутое кино!

Why not mention the other member's of the team? Also they should've tipped those people 100's not $10-$15.

"...'might' be 'inevitable' " ? It's one or the other. Obviously. God help us.

The 95% folks who went home early will surely enjoy this video :)

This is the first time I watched a documentary like this and their summit brought tears to my eyes.

please enlighten me. Who had been taking the videos, flying the drone?

I am watching this video in a warm bed with tea and I wouldn’t want to have it any other way. Why risk your life? What do these people want to prove or experience? I just don’t get it and am actually thankful about my ignorance

Did I hear that right? They were tipping the locals $2.00 (USD???). That can’t be correct, but if it is then that’s truly a shame on a few different levels. 😑

I don't like these expeditions. It has bitter taste of colonialism, and some people, specially Asians, treat the sherpas as if they own them. The sherpas hike to base camp while the westeners ride a jeep. The sherpas go up to check and double check the ropes, make sure everything works, and if the shit hits the fan, are the ones that go out to try and rescue the climbers. Good payment is a sign of appreciation. If a permit for K2 costs thousands, then the sherpas should get this, too. Besides, don't like risking their lives for egocentric alpinists, but they are poor. Given a chance, or enough money, they will do something else. Not giving them enough money ensures their participation next season...

Beautiful Pakistan 🇵🇰🇵🇰❤❤

Incredible! You guys did super well!

"Gopher" , tough guy and very smart, well done!

… a trip to the entering-gate base killed more 20 climbers already😢😢

How can you say there isn’t enough oxygen in the Death Zone to support human life? Messner and tons of others have been humans supported by that oxygen.

F THAT. FREEZING IS FOR THE ICE CYCLES

"It's not ego (to put your life in danger for thrills and renown)". (0:29) Really? God knows; we answer to Him alone in the end. "There's vanity in it. There's all sorts of ego in it." (3:22) "... a deep-seated belief in one's self" (1:00) - yep, but not in God. The two are opposites and have no fellowship. This is why no one who really trusts in Truth will risk their life for fame, fortune, and pleasure.

He says that " you need to be independent," and yet he's depending on sherpas to make sure he stays awake and doesn't make bad decisions.

I love hiking much shorter mountains, but this video was not inspiring at all. In fact it’s disgusting how the porters can be treated both financially and by working for huge, excessive risk taking egos. Get over yourselves climbers!

Absolutely disgusting, when $2 dollars is absolutely nothing to you and these men are risking their lives and should be highly valued with gratitude and paid well! Rich people can really be the worst!

i was among the 400 people who managed to climb the mountain, its no joke the terrain and the overall is made to kill you

#Equator

43:40 Wow! A huge achievement. Very impressive.

24:16 Did you take the tent back or did you leave it there?

This might sound silly, but how do you pee and poop at this height and temperature? Can you take off the thermal suits?

Before carrying on with my life I have to say that my final feeling I get about this expedition and this documentary after seen the whole 46 minutes is: "why did it have to be so me-centered and prestigious and I was the first to this and that" - Nobody cares you did it all with an army of Sherpas so why bother painting the whole shabang in this light? Ugh disappointed

(44:13)- Why not holy ship K2 seems like a pretty cool place to visit at least every year, supplemental oxygen or not imho.

(3:49) - Poetry like this is so cringeworthy and pretentious that I just have to stop for a moment and bask at the fact that people above age 9 .. smh tldr

Question? Beside the sherpas . Are the mules and other animals treated humanly? Who monitor ¹ these valuable animals are respected: food, water, proper rest, and above all: no los revienten con excesiva carga!

...we met each other in another life... and soon, we shall meet each other in death

Rich people are greedy. They spend millions to die in the heoghts or implode deep down in the oceans

Not the lines of Everest, for sure!

*How our parents walked to school:*

Mountain climbing as an ideal is something that should be investigated seriously by first person who holds these ideas. A person can dedicate their life to helping other people much more affectively than climbing and risking everything.

Speechless ❤❤❤❤❤ Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 me

The mountain have no mercy for no one. It takes every one with it.

I submitted K2 in 2017 and to this day it’s my greatest life accomplishment. The feeling I got knowing I conquered one of the greatest feat in human challenges is not something I take lightly. However, at the cost of hearing deaths just about every other day. I pray one day this is no longer a thing and many of my fellow climbers can accomplish the ultimate challenge.

Masks way up on the Himalayas ,oh the madness of the convid

They playing with their lives by not climbing with oxygen but to each their own 😅

Why is there always a superlative? Just go climb it. Climbing is such an amazing thing. I hate that aspect of it, though. First woman to whatever. First American to do blah blah. Tenzing and Sir Edmund were superlative. Everyone else needs to shut up and climb.
