Climbing Everest: Patrick Hollingworth at TEDxPerth

[@erniep8214]

on a very brief note he mentioned his sherpas, finally I said, they deserve better recognition to make your adventure safer and easier than if you are to do it alone. First they geared up your route to the top with ropes and ladders so that when you go up you are safe. They carry all your tents and sleeping materials so that when you arrived at the camp all you have to do is to just eat and sleep like a baby. They carry your spare oxigens so that when you run out of it they can hand it over to you right away. Sherpas are climbing with about 25 plus kilos on their back while you almost carry nothing. My point is thank your sherpas, give them the proper recognition and don't take all the credits for yourself. Yes you paid them but they put their life at stake so that their family can live and to me that is priceless....

Patrick Hollingworth is a true mountaineer and prepared well for this opportunity. If only these were the kind of people that were permitted to climb Everest there would be less danger for the Sherpa's, less crowds and less polluted mountain. Thank you Patrick!

Great talk. I greatly respect the incredible work, endurance and spirit of the courageous Sherpas. It's also fascinating to hear the first hand experience of this young climber. He took us up the mountain with him and gave us an intriguing taste of what that fierce journey must be like. I especially appreciated his simple yet profound take away. Best to all.

@@orthopraxis235 At the end of the day regardless of how much money you are willing to pay nobody will make them steps for you. You still got to do it yourself. All money does is make your time on the mountain more comfortable, the physical exertion is still the same.

[@yamidgaray9074]

@@olympiclinic Hi, I went by myself. From my experience, I booked my flight from dubai to Kathmandu, (I'm currently working in Dubai). Than I went outside the airport. Many local agencies ready to help you, book everything. Don't book anything until your there, Don't even hire a porter or Shepard. If your fit, you can carry your own bag and just follow the road once your in Lukla. Is just trekking all the way to Basecamp. Plenty of tea houses along the way and people you will meet and see time to time. is one road. My cost was about 600 us dollar. I had meat, most people dont. they just eat the local meal I think is call dalbat. Might have miss spelled it but yeah is rice and beans. I'm Colombian American. The airfare from Kathmandu to Lukla round trip was 200us. Don't book anything until your there. Book both tickets separate. You might take longer to get to Basecamp or less. Is quiet easy to book your flight with the hostels/ hotels / tea houses. They are very helpful. Weather can change and airport can shut down by the hour. Yeah enjoy the views. Pack light, if you feel sick from altitude, just decent for the day. Took me in total 12days. Enjoy bro 🌍

thank you for explaining and sharing the visual affects of climbing this mountain. I will never understand why but there must be a reason people feel the need to go through blistering cold weather for days and nights, in danger ... to reach a top of a mountain for about 10 minutes of your life. It sure looked beautiful, but too dangerous.

[@dmitriyvakulchik]

You don't need a guide to summit mt hood. I'm not a hiker at all. I have never summited a mt before. I am a 20 yo dude that snowboards and is Athletic. One day I went to REI with two of my friends and rented mountaineering gear. Did some research on forums and went up and summited mt hood the next day. It is not that difficult. Physically the hardest thing I have ever done but I wouldn't say it's very technical. Just be smart and be prepared to push yourself. 500 times I debated whether I should turn back do to strong wind and no visibility. If you're dedicated. You will do it. Best of luck.

[@skobird2732]

Yes thats kinda what i meant but i worded it poorly, theres definitely a lot of bodies still but theres not a lot just lying around near the trails in plain view, you would have to go look at the foot of some cliffs and dig even to find them all. But theres still the few that are impossible to move from higher up like green boots and whatnot.

[@scottredford4801]

Without the sherpas I don't think you'll make ascent successful honestly. The Sherpas deserve all the credit they deserve. And shame on the Nepalese government for collecting hundreds of thousands, many millions by now and allow all sorts of climbers besides the true mountaineers endangering the Sherpas and polluting this sacred and amazing peak. No one should claim they climbed Mt.Everest (IMHO only Reinhold Messner did a solo ascent) without naming each Sherpa in true respect who were the major force behind the expedition. Thank you.

[@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564]

I don't get all the negative remarks. I agree that only experienced alpinists should attempt any of the 14 tallest mountains, but I still have great respect for anyone who summits and survives to reach base camp. I respect those who reach camp 3 or 4 and have to turn back; whether because of weather or personal illness. Altitude sickness can strike anyone. I don't use the Sherpas or having the best guide as an easy excuse for saying that people are hauled to the summit. If you spend any time at all on researching this; you will see that it is up to the individual to get themselves up the mountain as well as back down. Climbers frequently get separated from their guides and the Sherpas. The frozen, dead bodies along the way, attest to the fact that nobody is going to hold your hand or give up their life; to save yours. God bless anyone who has the fortitude to attempt this. climb.

[@primus7776]

Great talk. I agree that it's now a commercial operation with associated bragging rights for those with the cash to throw at it. The tantalizing aspect remains however.

He really makes it seem like he did all this hard work but he never showed the Sherpas carrying their gear, plus other peoples gear who can longer carry, plus the tents, plus the food and utensils, plus the rope, plus the oxygen tanks. These men make every step of this possible. Most of these climbers would not make it without the Sherpa

[@JustAnOrdinarySimmer]

He did do all this He would have payed the sherpas tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars just to climb it.. Sherpas carrying extra oxygen, food, clothes etc is all at the expense of the climber so put yourself in the climbers shoes, would you PAY SOMEONE to guide you to a place then give all your hard work and effort to that person once you got there? They shouldn't be charging so much to climb a mountain any way, but they are so they can (politely) continue to re-stock the camps along the same route they have guided people for decades. Not saying that the Sherpas don't do a damn good job at what they do, because they do and are obviously far more familiar with the mountain... but it's something for the westerners to achieve, not the Sherpas, the Sherpas are payed to be their by individual climbers...it's not like westerners are forcing Nepalis to go up their with them so they can carry all their stuff like slaves.. it is literally what they pay for so it is what thesy should get... so why shouldn't we take all the credit?

You cannot climb the Everest in December.

[@florisvanimpe929]

Imagine being above 8000 m climbing a legendary mountain and having to queue :/

[@michaelalexanderjob]

Extremely interesting story man!

[@joannafreedom7914]

No one climbs everest without a Sherpa. Name one climber that set their own camp, prepared their own food, set their own ropes and bridges and carried their own equipment and made it to the top...please just name one!

It's survival of the fittest on mount Everest!

[@josephgrumet]

Yeah sherpas are some special breed of humans boy not just there unbelievable abilities on big mountains but there culture religion etc!!!!! They deserve to be financially rich for the work they do I believe it’s literally the most dangerous job on Earth

[@cattleprods911]

Big respect for the Sherpa’s who risk their lives for westerners’ selfies.

[@ohLunaah]

They are all risking their lives lol still a hard climb regardless.

[@lukejfmccann]
