I think the Sherpa went fast down because he knows how fast the weather can change and once you have accomlished your goal, no need to stay in a danger zone.

[@MDroid-bn6eb]

Surprised an experienced hiker like him wouldn’t understand….

[@Mila_Brearey]

That sherpa should have known better because that could have led to serious exhaustion which, at high altitude, can be deadly.

[@RadioRich100]

The whole mountain is a danger zone, and your an idiot for going there.

@@Mila_Brearey I guess that Sherpa was paid by the job and not the hour.

Also, you never know who's a ticking time bomb for severe altitude sickness. Once HAPE or HACE debilitates someone up there, they are staying up there.

[@sauravshrestha1890]

He was moving fast because we can see from your video that the weather was changing rapidly. Instead of letting you know and have you panicked, he led the way smart. Appreciate him!

[@AngelGonzalez-pd4cn]

Correct, I agree, but also the Sherpa was like: Ok pal, I guided you all the way up to here, you made it you hit your goal your dream, blah, blah, blah...Now let's get the hell outta here fast!...nothing wrong with that.

[@Jout8-re1ij]

@@AngelGonzalez-pd4cn You make yourself sound like a twelve year old they way you write your comment. The real reason also could be that the longer you spend in that high altitude. The less oxygen you will have, so the Sherpa was smart to led you down fast, so you will still oxygen going down, because when you ran out of oxygen. The body shut downs and then it becomes a lot more difficult to get down.

[@jimmoses6617]

At your age, the greatest strength you have, and most dangerous, is a lack of fear. I had that too at your age, commercial fished in Alaska for years, traveled and hitchhiked across the country, etc. I am older now, have two children, and would never do such things again as I don't want my children to grow up without their father. Good for you, enjoy!

That is a very good point. I had wondered at that. He was moving fast to keep his client safe and getting him out of there. I know Ryan was surprised he was doing all the clipping and unclipping for him- that was likely due to the fact the decent is the most dangerous like Ryan pointed out. People are tired and can get disorientated. This Sherpa was incredible in keeping his young client safe and doing what he needed to do. It was fun watching how quick and agile he was though!

You had a good Sherpa going down. Experienced. He knows it is harder for people going down so he clipped you himself and pushed you to get you down as fast as possible.

[@julaiyyy]

that makes a lot of sense. i watched the video thinking how unprofessional it was to put him into this kind of danger, like what if he wasn’t ready to unclip yet or wanted to breathe a bit before going further. but sherpa probably knew what he could handle and get people down asap before exhaustion kicks in

They aren't paid anywhere remotely near enough money for the job they do.

A remember staring at a single shot of the Hillary Step trying to gain some insight into what the summit day would be like. So, watching your video just now - blew my mind! The shots you captured are truly epic and you also have video where almost no one has taken footage. Absolutely amazing job and congrats on the climb.

[@faaked.]

Gotta ask, as an 18 year old now what made you decide to NOT climb everest? Indecisive at this moment in time but i’m not sure it’d worth the risk.

I imagine it would look so much more pleasing to see just snow on top of Everest and not the mess it is today. I would hope for the future that climbers would take just one of people's memento each down from Everest and just clean the place up for the future generations of climbers to enjoy.

He's setting a pace because getting out of the death zone asap is a matter of life and death. You can get pulmonary or cerebral edema especially in the death zone and being on oxygen is no guarantee of avoiding it.

Best footage of Everest climb. Thank you, Sir.

[@AlexinOslo]

Do you know why Sherpa was rushing to get back? The rush hour to the summit usually starts around 6-7am because most climbers wake up late. Sherpa wanted to help you avoid climbing over the amatuer and unprepared inbound climibers who get winded and hang on the ropes, creating the conga line. You're guides are true pros: getting you out of bed at 1am to get that morning summit and get you back down by noon while there was still light. You prepared well and being 19 makes you very resilient. Also, that 26 mile walk back to the village the other day served you well. By any standard, you were moving quite fast. Sherpa was only faster because it looks like he done it before and knew the way. Also, I think Sherpa has to recover and take others up after you go home?

[@shoguinho]

Congratz dude!!! This video i think the most complete on the KZbin to show from south col to the summit with few cuts. I watch this beautiful journey. I’m happy for the opportunity to follow this!! Ty

[@LETMino85]

Thank you for taking us with you so we don't have to go! 😆This is amazing footage and I'm not even half way through and you answered already so many question, like how it works when someone comes down. Well, congrats to that trip!

[@ivanmilanovic9406]

Ryan, this is the greatest footage of climbing that final ridge, let's say from the South summit all the way to the top. Thanks for that, and congrats to your success.

[@saulza2]

Congrats man. What an unbelievable achievement. You will accomplish so much in your life. When you started tearing up it reminded me of my experience reaching the crater of Kilimanjaro just as the sun started to come up. Even though I had another hour to go, I was overcome with emotion knowing that I was going to survive and make it to the top. I had never felt so grateful to be alive.

[@siggifreud812]

I can imagine; feeling the power of nature, being ONE with nature, and realizing how small and insignificant we all are, in comparison. puts things into perspective.

[@msbeecee1]

Wow congrats. Great comment.

[@katieobrien2101]

You have so much to be proud of -- your personal achievement, the safety of your team, and providing one of the seriously best videos available to the public on Everest!! My boyfriend and I have been starting our mornings by watching your teams progress over the last few weeks. We are going to miss it a lot-- but we look forward to your next adventure. Keep chasing your dreams! Much respect from New Jersey!

[@BowzKnows]

Look at those views... wow simply stunning. I love nature so much and want to see actual mountains so bad. Thanks for posting this!

[@HenryWeber1]

Congrats on reaching the summit! This has been great to see the whole journey up. What an amazing achievement, and such a fantastic positive attitude throughout.

[@Eastlomond]

This was wonderful footage. I love mountains but have no personal desire to climb them but I do enjoy climbing films and this particular one somehow felt like it immersed me in the actual climb and the environment.

[@caszsmom]

Holy crap!!! One false move on that ridge, Hillary Step? And you are a goner! Congratulations! Thanks for taking us along on something I would never do. Too afraid of heights and now too old. It is beautiful up there.

[@HoratioPercivalClackerbarrel]

Takes a lot of guts and bravery to conquer that Mountain, Many thousands never made it and are still in their place of ''rest'' even today !

[@stellviahohenheim]

and don't forget brain, the people who doesn't make it usually forget their brain

[@tw6570]

Congratulations! Glad to see you submitted in good health with plenty of energy in the tank. Thank you so much for documenting your journey with gorgeous video shots and commentary.

[@robertbarriger2596]

Thanks Ryan for sharing your journey. The quality of your video gave an "almost there" looking over your shoulder experience. One of the best vlogs of the whole Everest Challenge that I have seen. Congratulations to you and your entire team.

[@Spartan_-du9wi]

This is the best footage I have ever seen of thee summit day. THANK YOU! I would guess that sherpa knew you were strong on the ascent. And knew the descent was going to hurt. He acted as a rabbit & assistant. And got you down safely. Great Job!

[@vjs2048]

Congrats man! Well deserved. I watched all the episodes starting from the very beginning and as someone who does a bit of Alpine stuff, I really liked the approach you took. You treated the mountains with respect at the same time pushed yourself, great example of that was going down on foot from the base camp to Namche Bazaar. Also great to see the entire journey in detail, inspired me to do it myself in the coming years. Great stuff man.

[@melissaeden1219]

I've said it before, but congratulations on summiting! What terrific footage of what it's like. I admire anyone who can walk on those narrow ridges; I'd be crawling thanks to my uneasiness with heights! And you were really booking it. But don't let anyone, including the sherpas, rush your pace and wear you out! Looking forward to the descent.

[@nipur.weerasuriya6437]

Thank you Ryan for giving us this experience the best you could. Which I will never be able to accomplish. Thank you again ❤️🙏🏻.

[@tonydugal5275]

I’ve watched hundreds of videos of Everest and yours is the finest!

[@BlueArmeh88]

As someone with health anxiety and fear of heights I was really chilled watching this video. I need to go and lay down

[@BSU2026]

Hello Ryan. These videos of you climbing Mt. Everest is probably the BEST one I have ever seen! INCREDIBLE footage! I felt like I was there! You are a very intelligent, super smart, young man with obvious Balls of Steel! I subscribed to your KZbin channel because your videos and your story are epic! Never change who you are. You can accomplish ANYTHING in life. May God keep you and Bless You always my friend!!

[@MrHeli4444]

In this episode you can clearly see where people die making a wrong move. Great camera work showing us what its like up there. All of us here are proud and happy for you. Continued success Ryan. (can we all just go home now where its safe and warm)

[@silviasimpson8140]

This was the most realistic, detailed, and awesome footage of climbing to the summit I have EVER seen! I really understand now how steep and hard the climb is. The summit push looked so scary. Congratulations on your achievement!! It made me sad to see so much trash on this beautiful mountain. I respect the effort to want to climb the highest peak in the world, but nature and the Nepali people should not have to pay the price for the carelessness and pollution. My thoughts go out to the climbers who lost their lives, and to their families.

[@TheTruthKiwi]

You made it look pretty easy dude! Everything came together from being young and fit to good weather, great Sherpas, good gear, good track, not too many people and a good attitude. Definitely something to be proud of and it also makes me respect people like Sir Ed Hillary more for being the pioneers. Cheers man, stay safe

[@oliviaprisacaru8367]

Congratulations! As you said, your body is literally dying at that altitude, so probably that's why sherpa rushed you on descending, plus it was windy and cloudy, you definitely didn't want be there in case of a storm, that would have been the end of your dream and most probably of your life. Thank you so much for the videos! Now I understand why people are losing their life up there.

[@KirstenSantos-f7e]

Lump in my throat seeing this , what a legend . your whole outlook is beyond amazing. love love love to you and your fantastic achievement 🌸

[@ChrisM541]

Spectacular footage there bud, and a damn big life-box you ticked. As for the Sherpas, trust in them...always! Your lives are - literally - in their hands. He pushed you only because he knows you have the fitness to get out of that death zone faster than most of the tourists there. The stories of 'near misses' these brave souls can tell would horrify anyone...never mind them also witnessing those who didn't make it back alive. Remember also, they're the ones who would have to go off-track in emergencies...no pre-set safety ropes etc.

[@Shivamkhandelwal]

The level of detailing and quality filming is mind blowing. Congratulations for being able to get to the top of the earth. 💜

[@amandagiangiobbe1798]

Thank you so much for letting my class be a part of your journey!!! They are going to fall over when they see this.

[@xXSgtJackXx]

Its actually insane how even with a gopro it looks SO DAMM STEEP

[@Whyzee12]

Like unreal steep 🤯

[@mojodojo5533]

Dizzy steep.

[@garypeakpt]

That ridge line at 16:33 blew my mind! Congratulations Ryan and thank you for taking us with you to the top of the world 🌍

[@Ja-3108]

That’s where 2 people died this year on the expedition I believe

[@2passportsandpostcards]

Your composure is remarkable! I’m only at 10:52 but man, that’s one steep terrain! Great work - can’t wait to see the final, FINAL push to the summit 💪🏻

[@FtWkCn]

Congrats, was nice following your journey up there. Right at the end your Sherpa was really trying to get you back down ASAP haha he wasn't trynna risk anything, love him for that haha
