Mt. Everest Climb from North Side 2016

[@mikeborelli8800]

double thanks for not including any music or other dramatic considerations. the strong breathing, the coughing, the wind, the crunch of the cramps on the snow, the plangent noises of equipment and tools. this is what we want when watching our vicarious climbs.

[@li-lancheng2535]

That's exactly what I wanted to viewers to get, what it's actually like on the mountain. No artificial effect. Glad you liked it.

[@shannonnesvick7446]

Yes! Absolutely agree! This was well done by keeping it 'clean'.

Wonderful, best video climbing Mt Everest I have viewed! Congratulations. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@JosephFrancisBurton]

9 times out of 10 these outdoor adventure videos are ruined with ridiculous music and a camera that won't leave the camera operators' face. I want to hear crampons crunch the snow and labored breathing, not guitar power chords. The 'details' as you call them, routine chores and sharing hot co-co, work to bring me closer to the action. This is the model for any outdoor adventure video.

[@bobhiggins5773]

For the last 2 weeks I have had You Tube Everest fever and have watched just about all the films but this one stood out as one of the best, an honest account. My tributes still go to the guides who do so much preparation to make it safer and more possible for the teams to summit, and what a big team it was to reach the summit. Congrats to Li-Lan Cheng and his team.

[@bobdavis4000]

@@GodsRemote its pretty common there, there are piles of dead bodies and they use them as landmarks to mark where they are going. its pretty sad that they cant retrieve the bodies since its too difficult and risky

[@sefefdsaa]

@@GodsRemote It is a real corpse, and on the south face it has more bodies than on the north. It is a sad and macabre memory, but a reality. moreover, rescuing one body can put others at risk, and many climbers want to stay there if they die ...

[@nuntana2]

They become a solid block of ice and are very hard to move. Oftentimes they’ll push them over a ledge. Remember Green Boots on the south side - has to practically step over him - and the woman spread over the rock upside down facing up? Both moved now but as said they were landmarks.

[@NiSiochainGanSaoirse]

@@GodsRemote almost certainly, sadly. The frosting on the outer clothing tells me theyve now become fastened to the mountain by being frozen to it, which is a great indicator they are long since deceased. The body position, the altitude and the time are great information, because nobody would survive for long laying down at such height in darkness, and it tells me that person has long since departed this mortal coil. Rest in peace.

This is the best footage i have ever seen on Mount Everest, i enjoyed every second of it, very humble people. Congratulations Li-Lan Cheng.

Best video I have seen for an Everest climb - congratulations on reaching "the top of the world".

[@quantumpotential7639]

Maybe it's an illusion, but this team 'appears' better organized, better equipped, more disciplined than all other teams I've studied climbing from Nepal side of the mountain. I'd love to watch another awesome video of the same awesome team take on equally awesome mountains like K2, Annapurna, the Eiger and Mt. Davis. Congrats!! A fantastic venture you bring to all those who can't climb. God Bless!!

[@li-lancheng2535]

Thank you sir! In terms of equipment, I think everyone has pretty much the same gear. But I do think that my team was better organized and more disciplined than most. During summit push, each of us had a guide right next to us. We were never allowed to unclip from the fixed rope unless done by the guide, so there was never a possibility of anyone going missing. We were not allowed to take our gloves off on summit day to prevent frostbite. And our guide would radio the team leader the time each of us passed key milestones, so the team leader could monitor everyone's speed and turn someone back if he/she was too slow. And there were backup guides on standby at each camp in case something went wrong. When we heard about problems or deaths on the south side, it sounded that they were mostly preventable with better management.

[@quantumpotential7639]

Wow .. you confirmed my observation about better team management / superior game planning and execution. I haven't detected this methodical approach with any other modern day expeditions. It's a fascinating study in team work/risk management/and group goals. There appears to be greater and tighter cohesion among Chinese climbers than climbers from other countries. Great cinema photography! The viewer is right there with you each step of the way. I nominate you to be mankind's ambassador to Mars mission so we can experience it along the same light. Congrats again sir. So exciting for us over here to watch you "take it to the top"!!!

[@quantumpotential7639]

Li-Lan .. you are most excellent of mountaineer adventurer climbers / photographers / videoographers. Besides the porters who labor to get all that gear up there .. the guy with the camera is the unsung hero in my book as that in of itself can be exhausting even at sea level .. let alone 5 miles in the sky with 180 mph winds bearing down on you at temperatures that would scare off even the bravest of polar bears. Amazing!!

[@li-lancheng2535]

Francis Siegfried Thank you for the kind words. Actually it wasn't that hard to film. I had a sports camcorder strapped to my chest inside my down suit. When I wanted to film I just pulled the zipper down and pressed the button. My guide had my small camera and could film me climbing. Temperature on the night of the summit push was about -20F, which is considered mild. More importantly, winds were calm, no more than 20 mph. We would have canceled summit push if it had been more than 35 mph.

[@rayloobzer298]

This comment is 4 years too late, but congratulations on an amazing achievement. Also, your video is one of the best I have found of the northern ascent, and what it looks like along the way. It is very hard to visualize that route when you have not been there, and your video made things much more clear in my mind. I also very much appreciate the lack of music, effects, etc. (as others have said here as well). Just the sight and sounds of you actually performing the climb. I wish more climbers would post their experience exactly this way. If I ever decide to climb Everest myself, I would follow the same route (China/Tibet/Rongbuk), and I would hope to be able to go with the same guide team that you used. Excellent work, and all the best to you!

I have to say, this video is excellent, actually hearing the breathing, Crampons, and the most important the prayers to the Goddess of the mountain. The people who died prayers to their families. The total detail and the camaraderie between these climbers are so awesome. Congratulations on all you climbers for you showed humbleness when going up there, to each other and to the mountain. Kudos to your guides for they showed the humbling and spark. Truly amazing and thank you for sharing the best video ever.

[@killout18]

Ask the goddess of the mountain to rescue you from the lake of fire, which God in his mercy warned you in Revelation that every one who has even so much as lied before is going, much more the idolatry you just committed.

[@DannyRaydreambig]

To see how slow this process is and how steep the climb really brings this whole thing into perspective. My favorite Everest video I've binged. Well done and thanks for the "raw" feel with no cheesy music.

[@mycroft16]

Better than any documentary I've ever seen. Raw, real footage without any fancy editing or cuts or music, nothing. Just the team and the mountain. I really enjoyed the ceremony to the goddess of the mountain. I have never seen that in anyone else's footage, or if it was there it wasn't explained. I think that's a wonderful bit of culture that adds so much to the video. Everest is simply stunning. The sense of scale is completely thrown off. You simply have nothing to compare it too so it goes from looking like any old mountain to, oh yeah, this thing is 6 miles tall. Having climbed quite a few 14k ft mountains in Colorado US I know nothing quite compares to standing on a peak... I can't imagine that feeling multiplied by standing on top of Everest. What an unbelievable view, and the knowledge that nowhere on our entire planet can someone stand taller than you. Congratulations and thank you very much for sharing.

[@mauricegz]

wow, awesome. @ 53:40...whew!!! Amazing how the 1960 team did this without all the ropes, etc to start. Congratulations; what a wonderful achievement. Glad you were safe.

[@BigEarlPearl1]

Im curious @53:40 with each step if it felt unstable with the crampons on the bare rock with such little room for foot placement?

[@li-lancheng2535]

BigEarlPearl1 The narrowest part was a bit scary, with only 2-3 inches of space to plant my feet. But the video makes it look more dangerous because the rocky slope is not vertical. As I leaned on the cliff, the camcorder strapped to my chest was shooting at an angle, making it appear that the cliff was vertical. You can tell from the mountains in the distance that were all tilted. So as long as you really embrace the cliff and don't look down too much on your left, you can get over this section pretty quickly. It's only about 100-120 feet long.

[@li-lancheng2535]

BigEarlPearl1 one reason the north side is more difficult than the south side is that the route above 7500m is mostly on bare rocks, reducing the crampon's purchase. But we were lucky this year that there had been more snow than usual in the days prior to our summit push, making the route much easier. But this section of traverse was still just rock.

[@BigEarlPearl1]

Thank you so much for the explanation. So amazing and what a great video. Congratulations on the summit!

This is certainly one of d best uploads regarding scaling the pinnacle of our planet. Every minute detail of scaling explores the true essence of climbing. Tangible sounds & mesmerizing glimpses of d expedition would be a real treat to d viewers in d true sense of d term.

This is so slow, and seems so hard. Using only the direct sound of camera is definitely increasing the impression of rough and everyone can share the human dimension of such a climb. Great movie, great contribution to what makes us alive. So amazing to see this ! True life sensations here, danger of death is everywhere at every moment ! Congrats for the courage, the tenacity, the envy, the challenge. You're all great human beings.

Your video truly gives those of us who are not climbers a view we will never experience first-hand. I only wish it was longer!!!! Like all of your raw video! ☺Extremely educational on top of being fascinating!! Thanks for sharing!

[@li-lancheng2535]

Thanks. The raw footage adds up to nearly 4 hours. Most people would be bored to death or lack the time to sit through.

[@kathys7283]

Li-Lan Cheng I just saw the newer comments since I posted. I bet all of these people would love to see more of your footage as well! 😉

[@raymundrivera3992]

I for one wouldn't mind a longer version, maybe 2hrs :D Great video, perfect climb all the way!

[@juliespiezia7807]

I have one word for this: RESPECT. This blew my mind, congratulations to you man

[@blairmacewancrosbie8646]

Absolutely awesome viewing from the comfort of a warm room at 180 meters above sea-level!!! Complete and utter respect to all of you who made it to the top. A truly awe-inspiring account of a climb to the highest point on earth. I can't even begin to imagine how it must have felt. Thank you so much for this wonderful film.

I concur with many others here - just beautiful/awesome footage of climbing with no obnoxious music or over-dramatic narrating. The scenery speaks for itself. Wonderful job!

[@rocbola]

Thank you for taking the time to edit and upload this video, It's great to see the climber's perspective as you navigate from base camp, all the way up the several steps. There were some scary looking places on summit day!

The best Everest climb video, looks like you got lucky with the weather.Thankyou

[@jordanweir7187]

Congratulations and thanks for filming the ascent, now I don't have to actually go there to see what it looks like in this level of detail xD this is wonderful footage, such a beautiful mountain. Extremely terrifying stuff for me, especially the rock climb part, I'm bad with heights and so I'm not a climber, mad respect to those who actually do this sort of thing

[@alexasanchez100]

Awesome video! I felt like I climbed with you guys, only I did it from the comfort of my warm home and a hot cup of coffee in my hand. Much respect to all the people who have made it to the summit! Thank you for taking me on your journey.

This is the best video among all the videos and documentaries I have watched about Everest. Kudos to the team.
