First Ascent Everest No Oxygen

[@wyomingadventures]

45 years ago, Peter and Reinhold made the first summit on Everest without supplement oxygen. What an amazing feat. Congratulations to them!

[@kevinbrooks1104]

Yes they are lucky they did not freeze to death

[@jackharle1251]

And we don't have to see comments about the poor Sherpas being used. They are too busy splitting the atom and building skyscrapers.

[@arizonad8012]

Not just wihout oxygen, but also without gear and clothes nowadays climbers have.

[@twilightpurpleglow]

Sitting on top of the world with no oxygen! Very daring. So glad to read Reinhold Messner and Peter Habeler have lead successful lives. Not knowing the Mountaineers, I like to go on to Wikipedia. I could hear the howling wind: brave men are to be admired. Thank you David Snow for sharing. Greetings from Texas.

This is real mountaineering and one of the greatest feats of mankind, This is real Everest. Nothing to do with the crowds of tourists that today saturate the summit. The Everest conquered by Messner and Habeler is simply another mountain, towering thousands of meters above today’s crowded summit.

😂 What are you talking about lol. It's the same mountain and its the same height

[@user-se9uk2py5k]

@@yonismo4098 climbing Everest without oxígen and without fixed ropes is simply a challenge of another magnitude, dont you know this?

[@DC-zi6se]

​@@yonismo4098he didn't mean literally

[@jorgen3662]

its not nearly the same man, people these days have their hand held all the way to the top by pros who did all the work for them, super modern equipment etc@@yonismo4098

​@@user-se9uk2py5kHave you done either?

[@3dsmaxrocks699]

That wind sound is the best ever. Reminds me of the harsh winters we had around Xmas every year. Our house sat in the middle of a bunch of open fields and the wind would rip though the attic vents making that howling sound. We had big comforters on our beds and would burrow under them in the dark with flashlights etc etc........ just being kids. Watching Clint Eastwood in The Eiger Sanction. Great times

[@loulou7963]

Sounds so cosy 💕💕

[@petermaier78]

Just to give you an idea what an climbing animal Peter Habeler is: He climbed the Eiger North at the age of 75. This is just insane.

[@crazyaces4042]

😵‍💫 wow! that's beyond amazing. unreal...

[@maraiste8596]

Incredible... thanks for this footage

[@nickim6571]

Amazing

[@sauce1232]

Erhard Loretan and Jean Troillet did in 43h up and down in 1996. No oxy, no Sherpa, no fixed ropes, half a liter of water each and some cheese/bacon. Swiss style.

[@gongylophis7078]

One of the great things und climbing history. But they know it is possible without oxcigen.

[@marshalljimduncan]

26 years ago this evening the 1996 disaster occured...

[@mancunianinlondon]

27? Eight deaths and at least two bodies remain up there

[@wyomingadventures]

Definitely not the worst year on Everest. Last year, there were 17 deaths.

[@mancunianinlondon]

It's unthinkable doing what they did. Just the two of them as well? It looks like hell to me

[@lifesahobby]

Thanks brother

[@lifesahobby]

Savage effort

[@piaparker3466]

Wow! Congratulaions!

[@Kiler-Henrique]

David You are an example to many of us.

[@smileygladhands]

Didn't even know that was possible.

[@EagleLogic]

What a super human

Superhumans! 🙌👏👏👏👏👏

[@loulou7963]

Omg why is his face completely black like that ?

[@hoboholer]

Camera color was bad at the time

[@tonerz0fdubb716]

Must be the camera lol I thought the same thing thinking his whole face was frost bit

[@RiotEnergy1]

Badass mfkers!!

[@rocketrider1405]

Is it down to good luck that these two didn’t develop high altitude sickness?

[@NancyHanson3472]

Everyone's physiology is different. For some reason, unknown to me, some individuals are lucky and do not suffer from it as much as others do. The sherpas have a genetic predisposition to not be affected as much, because their ancestors have lived at high elevations for thousands of years, and it has been encoded in their genetic makeup.

[@Chris-CardVault]

What route , did they take? I thought Messner took , the northeast ridge route?

[@projjetomundo]

Parabéns 🎉💪🫁👏🙌

[@maxasaurus3008]

That old grey sunscreen makes him look dead!

[@alwinbenjamin]

👏🏻👏🏻

[@jevgwapo7747]

Its a shame to those who use supplemental oxygen. If you want to climb everest to test your endurance. Try without sherpa and oxygen.

[@sba8710]

This is Peter not Reinhold, correct?

[@petermaier78]

Yes

[@nickmuaythaiandfitness]

Why was his face that color? Bad video?

[@elenaoakes8494]

I think its over exposed its very bright up there

[@okman9684]

Lack of blood supply. Like sone blood clot. If he keeps that he will get permanent frostbite

[@fridagylterud9491]

[@diaboleux]

please develop

[@karma_97_]

So is it a myth when i hear that it takes months to climb a mountain like Everest because he did it in only 3 days ?

[@Novaks_]

It takes month’s because you have to acclimate at base camp and some of the higher camps. Id say if weather is good and the climber is strong and acclimatized; a climber could summit in around a week.

[@miniwaern]

I imagine it was easier back in the seventies because the earth had more trees and more air back then.

[@crazyaces4042]

true

[@shelly8563]

Thats not how that works lol

[@moleqle]

🤦🏻‍♂️

[@knarftrakiul3881]

Everyone else has cheated

All the fancy heated clothes and o2 tanks is bullshit
