The bodies have been there for years, if you plan to summit Everest you do your research and know what to expect unfortunately the bodies are usually unrecoverable because of the harsh conditions but are also very well preserved by the cold, some are famous by this point and are used as landmarks and have names used by climbers.

[@1dameister1]

@@GlimpsofDay It depends how someone calculates risk. If it's collectively accepted risk then nobody is thinking about the negatives, for example driving a truck/car, it is risky and everyone knows that there's a chance of dying, considering today's traffic and the mindset of the drivers it's probably even worse. Now doing something for recreation and it is an extreme sport like glacier climbing, then it starts to go towards more risky, not everyone is doing that. As long as nothing happens and more often is done (it get's into routine thing) the feeling of it being more safe is growing, if it's good or bad..... good question.

If a member of your team fell into a crevasse, you'd have zero idea how to rescue them, as you haven't had any training on crevasse rescue for example, there's so many reasons it's a bad idea for people without experience to just jump straight in to the deep end and do Everest just because they can financially.

[@David-nj5lk]

let me guess you dont belive in god? and if yes thats fine but why say "smh" when someone believes in god and thanks them for something that happen in their life? like thats just feels very sad

[@pxrpleprod]

You absolute clown . Your talkin like you would even consider climbing the mountain when I’m sure you haven’t even climbed a hike trail in your whole life so instead of judging this guy who actually made it and yea he did it without experience he actually did it

[@szymonpluta7421]

Ryan, you're talented. Your productions are top level. The overall delivery is exceptional. I am certain this skill will also translate to other aspects in your life and make you very successful. Good luck!

[@cuttheknot4781]

Well said, Ryan. You are an excellent communicator at a young age. I am especially impressed with your ability to clarify the many insights you have gathered in real time. So much is lost on those who are not actually "in the moment" for a variety of individualized reasons. I am inspired by your accomplishments and will surely ask my sons to watch your channel. Btw, God is real, but few secrets are revealed because we have to perform without certainty in order to be judged. Thank you!

[@Untitled_Novel]

RIP to all those lives lost that now rest on the mountain ❤🕊️

[@craigjok]

Thanks for frank self assessment regarding your skill level issues as you trained and climbed. I’m completely new to this as I did my first alpine climb on mount baker two weeks ago. That is like a kindergarten effort compared to what you do but I learned a lot from that short experience. Even though I’m a triathlete and ultra endurance bike racer, I encountered issues with my heavy pack and walking in deep snow. That was a new level of effort that my body hadn’t seen before. I will modify my training approach to prepare for my next climb.

[@Malboop]

everyone, say it with me. THANK YOU ALL SHERPAS!!

[@officialluckyturn]

Sherpas are just the closest you can get to Superheroes

[@d.optional3381]

​@@officialluckyturnthis glorification of them is literally racist lmao. Get a grip and adopt a realistic perspective

[@informitas0117]

They are the only impressive things you'd find on Everest these days. Maybe the view too.

[@denisepurchase7237]

My dad's dentist went to everest and came back with 2 fingers missing

[@aygatto1]

I went to Peru and wanted to die just walking around the streets of Cusco (and that was after doing the Sacred Valley to properly acclimate) so hearing you talk about what you went through on Chimborazo truly made me want to vomit 😅 Kudos to you on this amazing feat! 👏🏼

[@jobber1984]

Awesome video man. Congrats on all of your achievements!

[@opheliaparker4129]

You are doing such a great job creating these videos. You have a way of putting things in order and explaining everything very understandably. I think you should continue climbing other mountains as well, not necessarily THE BIG ones. Cheers from Greece!

[@Thedesertguy75]

It just makes the first people to summit back in the day that much more incredible.....balls of steel. And of course the SHERPAS!! The real mountaineers.

[@windinthefirtrees8020]

You do a great job telling your story, lots of knowledge you've learned and now I've learned. 👍❤

[@Bellalein12]

Just yesterday I watched your 5-Hour-long video of your journey! I was so happy I found one video thats just about the climb and not some accident or stuff like that.. i really enjoyed it! I watched it in one go :D So intresting seeing you speak about it afterwards!

[@RosieRosenthal]

Thank you Ryan, your videos provide the details and answer questions I want to know about. You’ve got the best video footage and can tell a wonderful story.

[@HansAaraas]

Thanks for making these videos. Great vlog!

[@Theopensea-pn8xr]

This hit different when you watch the 5 hour long video

[@raven_1133]

It’s also sad to see just how many people died when they were so close to the summit.

[@Septembercrunch]

🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ me on my way seeing that my fave youtube channel has uploaded again

[@anyaaa2801]

I don’t know you and you don’t know me BUT I’m glad you’re here with us 😇

[@FlipsOfficial]

From watching you play Minecraft since 2020 to now watching you climbing these mountains is just wild proud of you man

[@zodiacsnipe_101]

ye

[@prozac20mg]

I have watch your whole 4 hour video and it was very entertaining and educational, props for both you and Furba it was an amazing experience, but on the other hand kinda made me see it it is not something I wanna do for now. I did the Annapurna Trek circuit before and it was amazing, beautiful, the landscape was amazing. I noticed that you don't even have that many views from Everest. However I do understand the reasons why you did it, it is an amazing experience obviously I just don't feel I am prepared for it right now..... Thanks for the videos they are all amazing...

[@karocake]

The guy in the pink suit from 3:38 made his own documentary on yt. His name is Patecki

[@misanthropicservitorofmars2116]

In 3 minutes this guy confirmed 3 deaths in the season. It’s crazy how many people are dying up there.

[@davids11131113]

It looks unreal up there, looking way down to clouds. SO sick looking near the top footpath across a 10,000 foot drop, too much for me but congrats!

[@anniedupont6434]

very interesting video! thank you Ryan for sharing all these moments with us! you are young and talented, continue in this direction!

[@seraphim4530]

Admirable how you trudged through some of these daunting challenges to make one of the best documented climbs ever made of Mt. Everest. In documenting this experience you have not only shared what Mt. Everest climb looks and feels like, but have also inspired so many along the way. *Be strong and courageous, for HE goes with you.*

[@teijaflink2226]

And shown too what a risk you take and how important it's to prepare but that it's still very dangerous.

[@suri8655]

Great series of videos, keep up good content🎉

[@7xsrunsnoone]

A good question is how did they get ropes up on the mountains and made trails

[@RUCCIGK]

Literally living legends woulda went up with no rope no oxygen masks just ice picks and made those trails

[@maheshwordhakal5053]

That guy at 20:19 was so chill, with those shoes. Now thats Aura.

[@marynielson1527]

You took us on an amazing journey Ryan. So glad you're back home safe and sound. Hope we see more vids from you.❤

[@VikingTarzan]

Thank you for sharing these moments and the lessons you learned from them.

[@julaiyyy]

so you basically just had a shit ton of luck? glad you’re safe. and everest now went from a ‘uh, maybe I’ll do it when I have the money’ to ‘who in the right mind wants to put themselves through this?’ lol. I always thought of it like sky jumping. a lot of adrenaline but at least you’re safe. boy was I wrong😅

[@konoxians2]

Point out which part was luck aside from an accident happening that any experienced climber would die to such as an avalanche or a collapse.

[@Martin-ls9bz]

​@@konoxians2not knowing how to use crampons, loosing them while climbing fucking Denali, and making it unscathed is pretty lucky

[@John-se5vc]

Ryan, I am glad you had enough of a near-death experience that you became a genuine believer. A friend of mine summited Mt. McKinley--in those days--and he kept a journal, even with his increasing need for oxygen. It was bizarre. Thank you for posting your experience. Allowing us to see you in less-than-fine-moments has allowed us to see when the Lord was upholding you. I am old, and will not be doing any difficult climbing. The Lord knows how much and what climbing is in your future, and I pray He will protect you.

[@snookoed]

Very nice. Ryan's a natural teacher. I learned so much and have been watching Everest videos for about 3 years.

[@sololo312]

you mean how you dont prepare yourself?

[@snookoed]

@@sololo312 no, it's the first time the actual route in context has been clearly shown.

[@JonathanJames-f4w]

Awesome job, man. We all make mistakes, but we learn from them. A few years back I almost slid off Baker because I put my crampons on the wrong feet and one popped off. Last year I picked up bad AS on Illinza because I thought I was too tough for diamox (stupid for a 47 year old). Lessons learned
