Incredible video! Thank you for making a visual representation of this amazing experience. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks for the tasty bananas 😁

Very informative video to capture the whole journey. I did Lobuche East and Island Peak earlier this month. Himlung will be my next target.

[@adidoesultra9777]

Thank you - glad you enjoyed it. Just came back from Mera Peak and Baruntse and I would definitely recommend you to Himlung first, Baruntse was more difficult for sure!

Sehr schön, Diamir ist echt gut

Amazing video I’m heading off for himlung this October. you video is gives good insight to the trek and as well as the climb itself.

Thanks! That's what I was aiming for with the video!

[@adidoesultra9777]

@@allpattiesadventures9539 Do you know why you didnt put up camp 3? think that makes the summit push a lot shorter... When did you start your summit push? 11 pm?

@@adidoesultra9777 The company decided not to use it. I was climbing unsupported and could of used C3 but decided to follow the company. We started at 1am and reached the summit around 12pm

Thank you!

Great video. I plan to go there next year. Some color correction on your video part would help to make entire part better for the audience.

[@adidoesultra9777]

Thank you! I only edit the photos I take with grandpas Leica and the videos/photos I shoot with the Drone. The GoPro footage is just as it is...maybe I'll edit it for this years expedition.

What date will you be there?

[@76melodicdeath]

Great! I was there in September 2022 but i have not done the Summit..

[@adidoesultra9777]

What prevented you from reaching the summit? Did you have issues with the altitude?

[@76melodicdeath]

@@adidoesultra9777 not problem with altitude. I was wrong training in italy,my energy were over.. and always bad weather. Maybe September it's not good for climb Himlung,better in October..

[@adidoesultra9777]

@@76melodicdeath ah bad weather sucks. We we're really lucky with the weather (apart from summit day). Yes, training is quite important. Especially long hikes with backpacks!

[@76melodicdeath]

@@adidoesultra9777 training it's all.. i know that in september nobody has reached Summit,cause bad wheather. Well done for your Summit. I come back for Himlung between 2 years and i hope to reach Summit.

Hope i can do this someday going for my first 5000m next year :)

[@adidoesultra9777]

I think it's a good 7.000m mountain to start it!

Incredible journey! I'm curious, did you have porter support from BC to higher camps for carrying equipment?

[@adidoesultra9777]

We didn't have porter support above BC. On the way up we carried all our stuff by ourselves (we used the tents another expedition had pitched) and on the way down our sherpas carried the tents back to BC. But everything from food to cooking equipment to climbing gear we carried ourselves!

[@danwirth3511]

@@adidoesultra9777 was that a choice or is support not available to carry weight up if needed?

[@adidoesultra9777]

@@danwirth3511we booked it that way. Support is always available if you pay for it, you just have to talk to your organization/sherpas/porters. Camp 1 is possible for porters, for camp 2 and 3 you need sherpas.

I’m plannig to do it soon, I really love to consult you. Hope it is possbile

I'm always up for answering questions. Just DM me on Instagram or comment and I'll answer your questions :)

[@mountainarena7202]

Great video, Thanks for sharing, I have done Mera Peak and had this one on my radar. Can I ask what you did before in order to be successful on this one? Thanks

[@adidoesultra9777]

I did Ecuador (2x5.000m on glacier, see my video on it) and Peru (3x6.000m, 1 on glacier) beforehand to get some experience in high altitute. Sportsclimbing (ropework, rappelling etc.) and hiking to get experience and endurance

[@piotrkasprzyk2495]

Wow, Amazing video, my congrats! I went to Pho last June, Himlung is on the bucket list. What kind of drone did you use?

[@adidoesultra9777]

I used the DJI Air2S. Worked really well, even with the high altitude

[@rickschuren1245]

This is very cool! I was at the basecamp in August, but it was completely empty. Was wondering what would be the route to the summit.

[@adidoesultra9777]

Now you know! But I have to admit, the route is not very obvious from Basecamp

[@thurstonhowellthe3rd]

I have a new pair of La Sportiva G2 Evo boots I used on Lobuche East in late November. Do you think these boots are suitable for this. I'm thinking to go in April this year?

[@adidoesultra9777]

I used my G2 Evos in Peru and Ecuador and did pretty well with them so far. You could probably use them, there were a few guys with similar boots to the G2 up on the summit. But if you tend to have cold feet, I'd look for 8.000m ones, especially since it can get pretty cold and bad on Himlung. We had great weather, but you can also have storm and clouds...

[@thurstonhowellthe3rd]

@@adidoesultra9777 Thank you. Do you have any thoughts on going April vs going October. I've heard Nepal Spring there can be snowy to hamper summit chances then.

[@adidoesultra9777]

@@thurstonhowellthe3rd as I'Ve only been in October I can't comment on that, but the Manaslu region had heavy snowfalls just before we got there, so the earlier expeditions (early october) had to deal with that as well. Guess it's fairly unpredictable tbh

[@andrewmandrivnyk]

easy climbing? any issue ? suggestion ?

[@adidoesultra9777]

It's technically an "easier" mountain but together with the altitude, cold etc. I recommend doing some 5.000m and 6.000m mountains first. Something like Chimborazo in Ecuador or Island/Mera Peak in Nepal
