@@kaspareevald2264 Hehe.. Thanks but I actually go grouse-hunting in the mountains of Norway. But never anywhere Im in any danger of falling. I get physically dizzy when even close to any ledge. Hell, just looking at the start of your clip made me grab my computer-desk :)

Isn't it nice that you / we don't have to??? I'm a legit explorer, but I know my personal limits... I actually (almost) flinched once or twice.. I'm sure the man wasn't bothered at all.. BUT, I was happy to be along for the video experience... I honestly wish there were interviews with some of these guys.. (There might be.. I am only just now sub'ing on this channel)... Been around for a very long time, but I've only recently started paying more attention to these channels... GLAD to have found them...

It's amazing how loose rocks are sitting on the very terrifying ridge like they fell from above. I would want a parachute walking along that ridge.

[@tomkarau]

Just being there I would be frozen in fear.. I would be pinned down and could not even move one inch..I would be so affraid that I probably would be affraid to take one breath.. I have skydived from 13,000 feet but somehow that is different for me. I'm not affraid of heights but walking on the summit crest of the Matterhorn.. I would be in fear for my life. 😮

Let's admire together then through the screens. I'm happy I've done that. Maybe with a good climbing partner, I'd do it again.

[@bertjesklotepino]

well, then i have to let you down. I would have shaking knees and sweat all over my body and probably freeze not moving another inch after i have climbed 10 feet. Let alone 14.690 feet to walk on that small edge. Great respect for people to be able to do it. We were allowed to climb our Cathedral on the outside past year. It is a unique Cathedral and they had put scaffolding on the outside to restore it. And people were allowed to go up to parts of the Cathedral that you could otherwise never go to. See statues and decorations up close. I thought it was a great idea to do and so i went. But after 2 flights of stairs i almost wanted to go down again. Even though 100's of people had already gone up, i didn't trust the scaffolding. But, bit of encouragement from others made me go to the top like they did. With shaking knees, all the way to the top. Which is 55 meters. (the mid part, not the tower. )@@kaspareevald2264

I'd have wanted to stay there a while to savour the moment and view. I mean you won't be going up there again in a hurry!

[@kaspareevald2264]

Well, yes... the celebration was once we got back down! There's lots of work to be made and descenting is the part where most of the accidents happen, as climbers get tired and some even push themselves too far while ascenting.

[@wakingtheworld]

@@kaspareevald2264 Guess so. You're only half way! Speaking as a hiker, the up is definitely easier than the down and those times when legs have turned to jelly, is when you're more likely to stumble. You guys are too fit for that though! Enjoy your climbing... Be safe.

[@d0wnpour]

Climbing noob here. How does the rope connected to the climbing partner help? If one falls, the other one will fall too? Is there anything they can do to help?

[@kaspareevald2264]

It's more for a continuous safety - walking in rope and keeping the line tenser when needed, hoping that this will avoid the falling climber gain momentum while stumbling. To avoid "Happening". In this case the only way would've been if to jump to another side of the edge, opposite to the faller... My opinion.

Those snow caps look like they're ready to break any second. How do you judge the stability of them and the risk of each step? It comes with experience I guess, but is there any indicator that says - no, not today, do not walk here or there?

Snow is very thin. It's mostly rocks. It's not gonna break and go down because it's settled attached between the rocks.

Yea, buddy! Congratulations! Good stuff. I can’t imagine the tension amongst climbers on the final push to summit Everest. One looks up in fading daylight, suffering from physical fatigue, lack of oxygen, injuries, emotional duress, and sees a human traffic jam ahead of them. Compound that reality with the probability that some people in the traffic jam really shouldn’t be there; they contribute to bottle necks paying others to drag their ass up. Anyhoo...
