Lhotse & Everest Double - The ULTIMATE Challenge!

[@easygoer1234]

I love this video I've watched it over and over. But it's so bittersweet and sad because he and his climbing partner both lost their lives on k2.

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

I’m so glad that my work managed to create some emotions. That’s, after all, the whole purpose of story-telling. I will soon release a video about Annapurna. I hope, you might like watching it, as well. Thank you very much for your kind comment!

[@pegahghavami8062]

Very sad to see them pass away. It has its own risks.

Witaj Renata! Miło jest otrzymać kolejny komentarz od Ciebie. I tak, masz rację. Lhotse i Everest to idealne miejsca na podwójną próbę zdobycia szczytów dwóch niesamowitych, wielkich gór podczas jednej wyprawy. Dziękuję i wszystkiego najlepszego! Max Google translate: Hello Renata! It's great to receive another comment from you. And yes, you are right. Lhotse and Everest are ideal for a double-attempt to reach the summits of two incredible grand mountains in one expedition. Thank you and all the best! Max

Never even heard of them but they sure are beautiful

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

I assume you are referring to the three peaks of Lhotse, which all are above 8000 m high. Yes, they are beautiful but also very challenging to summit, especially Lhotse Shar. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@jamisbillson4872]

They won’t be beautiful for much longer. With fake mountaineers littering and polluting the area. Not forgetting the dead Sherpas who do the dangerous work for the fake climbers for $20 a day!!! And if they get ill with the poor clothing they often have to wear then just step over them whilst they’re dying. What a wonderful group of people eh!!! RIP Mohammad Hassan and the dozens of Sherpas who die each year just so these fake climbers can boast about standing on top of the world. I’m angry…as you can probably tell. Nothing against real climbers. Just the fake braggarts who should stick to trekking.

[@jamisbillson4872]

⁠​⁠@@nuovonovathegreatoutdoorswonderful camera work. Staggering scenery. Great work mate. Pity the cringe factor of seeing so many fake climbers line up like ants on the mountain.

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

@@jamisbillson4872 Such a nice comment, thank you very much! Yes, you are absolutely right, during the high season, there are scenes around the peak of Everest which look similar to a busy metro station in Tokyo!

[@jamisbillson4872]

@@nuovonovathegreatoutdoorsit’s trekkers that piss me off. Real mountaineers respect the climb. Trekkers should be content with trekking. They’re getting Sherpas killed for a shallow ambition where their summit permit money could be spent building locals schools or hospitals or sewage treatment plants to try to pt an end to the raping of these beautiful places by trekkers who just want a summit picture to boast about. I find it sickening.

[@24934637]

That looks a fairly unpleasant experience! High altitude Himalayan Mountaineering certainly can't be described as 'Fun'. Uncomfortable, cold, massively more dangerous than Alpine ascents, anything in the Himalayas is a HUGE challenge. Not something that I'd consider even if I was physically capable, which I KNOW that even with vast amounts of training, is LONG past my abilitys taking into account my physical condition after years of being a heavy smoker. Well done to them both and R.I.P.

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

As you perfectly describe, knowing own limitations is key for survival, and not only on Himalayas. Thank you for your comment!

[@easygoer1234]

I wish we could have heard what JP Mohr and the others were saying throughout the video.

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

It was planned to add the original commentary in Spanish (with subtitles) to the footage, however, some copyright issues prevented this intention.

[@Za7a7aZ]

When I see that himalaya landscape with those huge boulders, tiny people and enormes deep snow cracks I think it is not a place for humans but the territory of giants..An other thing...you have truly conquered the summit and call yourself a mountaineer if you dragged all your gear, tent and food up the mountain yourself. I mean, people will claim to have climbed and summited Everest, K2 or whatever mountain if it was possible to have being dropped off near the top by a helicopter..

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

I know what you mean and I fully agree with your thoughts in this regards. Climbing one of the 8000er mountains is one of the real adventures still possible on this planet, however commercializing of such an achievement and as a result of it, overcrowding, are rapidly spreading.

[@Brano88]

was one of them part of the expedition that eventually climbed k2 for the first time ever in winter?

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

The first people ever who reached the summit of K2 in winter were the members of two teams consisting of climbers from Nepal exclusively. Nimsdai Purja, a British Gurkha and special forces soldier, accompanied by five Sherpas and his fellow mountaineer Mingma G together with three sherpas accomplished that super human mission in January 2021.

[@Fleabog]

Great video. Too bad it's unwatchable because of the soundtrack. A more vapid tune does not exist. Too distracting to keep watching. I tried some of your other videos, same problem. Oh well.

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

Thanks for your feedback! Could you please recommend any soundtrack to make the video watchable according to your liking? Of course, it should be without any copyright restrictions.

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

That’s right. It seems that on K2 any mistake can lead to a fatal accident. If you haven‘t yet, you might like to watch our video called „K2 - The Unpredictable Killer“. Thanks for your comment!

[@skirolf]

I think there are 14 summits over 8000 m and lothse is one of them. You said it was three peaks on lothse, why arent they among the 14 summits?

[@aaronwalker8847]

Its because they are so close together in proximity - so that all of Lotse's 8000 meter peaks are considered to be part of the same Lotse mointain . As far as the list of 14 - 8000 meter peaks is concerned they are all part of the same mountain . But because it is seperate peaks, each peak is considered to be a different named peak - you have to reach all of the peaks from lotse's base , and each peak has "Lotse" in its name..

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

@@aaronwalker8847 Exactly! Thank you for your detailed reply! The same applies to Kangchenjunga, the third highest mountain on earth, as well. The mountain range has five peaks with four of them above 8000 meters but only Kangchenjunga main with an elevation of 8586 meters is on the list of 14 summits.

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

@skirolf Thank you for watching and commenting. You can find my answer to your question below as a reply to @aaronwalker8847.

[@pegahghavami8062]

Very sad to see them go. It's shocking with all the experience that they had, k2 took their lives.

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

I share your feelings about the loss of life among brillant mountaineers while trying to defeat the boundaries of human achievement. Thank you for watching and for your comment. You might find other stories in my channel about Everest, K2 and other major peaks interesting to watch, too. Wish you all the best!

[@fredjones7705]

With 21st century gear you could put in several rope tows and pull climbers up Everest and down. You could also put in an oxygen pump pipeline then maybe my fat ass could get up there.

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

Yes, with advanced technology there are ways to make the already overcrowded terrain around the summit of Everest even more easily accessible for everyone. In such a case, however, being on top of the world wouldn’t be even worth mentioning.

[@fredjones7705]

@@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors Why should it be "worth mentioning"? In fact why mention it at all? Over 6,300 people have already summitted it. All it takes is good conditioning and plenty of disposable cash.

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

@@fredjones7705 Well, in comparison with the global population of nearly 9 billion people, being one of the „6,300“ is still something special - hence worth mentioning.

[@rustyshackleford7785]

But this is Lhotse??

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

@@rustyshackleford7785 Although my video mainly focuses on Lhotse, it’s about a Lhotse-Everest-Double, meaning: both mountains are climbed in one attempt without returning back to Camp 4. The comment above is about the crowding around Everest summit, therefore the replies are accordingly. Hope this clarifies the questionmark in your comment!

[@owen7185]

The death stats on climbing K2 are unreal. It doesn't give AF who you are

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

Only Annapurna can compete with K2 in this regard. You might like to watch our video about K2 incl. the world's first ski descent!

[@williamkinsey8174]

It really doesn't look that much different to Everest

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

You are right! They are so close to each other, the climbing routes with all burdens and obstacles are almost 90% identical. That‘s why the new trend leans towards a Double - to summit both Lhotse and Everest with a combined attempt.

[@whoisthispianist194]

Mountaineers always seem to die on mountains.

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

True, and sadly the number of fatal accidents keep on increasing. We are now working on a video focused solely to this subject. I hope you will like watching it. Thank you for your comment!

[@Rajesh_Singh301]

L and E are silent in Lhotse and so it is pronounced Hots, which is an oxymoron. It needs to be called Lcoldse.

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

Thank you for this insight in Tibetan language. As it is the case in numerous locations all over the world, the Western media has the tendency to pronounce most names on the basis of English.

[@Rajesh_Singh301]

Well I was just joking. You're pronunciation is correct.

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

@@Rajesh_Singh301 😁

[@oldbutbeautiful]

Once again - Wrong! That is Nuptse NOT Lhotse

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

What are you referring to my dear „old but beautiful“ ?? If you have a point or a reason for this aggressive wording, kindly let me know! Nubste is the western segment of “Lhotse - Nubste massif”. While describing a section of the vast Himalayan mountain range, our videos aim to provide views of not only the peak in focus, such as Mt. Everest, or Lhotse, but also show the surrounding scenery. As you correctly recognized, Nubste is also shown together with numerous other minor peaks with different names in Tibetan language.

Made by God

[@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

Like the Alps arose from Europe‘s collision with Africa, the Himalayan mountain range and Tibetan plateau have formed as a result of the collusion between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate. In other words, those immense powers and the result can sure be described as „Made by God“. The interesting fact is, this coalition began some 50 million years ago and continues today. There is a good possibility for Everest and other Mountains to grow even higher. Thank you for watching and commenting!
