Rolex presents: South Face Annapurna (Extended)

[@womenwhochallenge]

Total respect in every sense. I’m safe at home watching this extreme challenge. I’m exhausted 😅 for them

[@davesnothere.5528]

Smart man. Magical thinking won't make the excessive snow go away. Climbing into avalanche danger is a gamble for "glory".

[@miguelandrade6012]

Verdade!

[@mongy1914]

Just getting to base camp and getting to see a mountain like this would be the trip of a lifetime.

[@Richardnyman90]

It is!

[@tomeggleston367]

The ABC (Annapurna Base Camp) trek is really not that strenuous I promise you. 5-6 days up and down from Pokhara if you went hard. But also wonderful over 7-9 days. Perhaps the REAL treat - given the time - is to trek around the Annapurna Circuit (taking you around the entire Annapurna massif and leading you to the NORTH side of these mountains. Manang, Pisang etc were like hidden Shangri-Las!

[@bonnymontes4461]

And the mountain had spoken !

Who would wear an automatic watch over something rugged that can measure heart rate /spo2 ..and altitude...

[@codysmith8639]

Insane that this is their first 8000er

[@antoniotula262]

Of all of the 8000m peaks, they start with the deadliest one??... Cho Oyu is reputed to be the least difficult of 8000m peaks.

Certamente.

[@naharaquappa4617]

„Victory is living“ can be interpreted two ways: Truly living, being up there climbing, is a victory, even if you end up dying. When the video started, that‘s how I interpreted it. However, at the end of the video, I saw it differently: Turning around and not completing the climb is ok, because leaving the mountain still living can be considered a victory. How did you guys interpret it?

[@michellekurtiscole9407]

Live to climb another day… It was clear that part of the team was very experienced and wise. No telling how many times they saw things go awry, where people lost digits, toes, nose or their life.

[@EvelynMaya1]

The biggest victory is to come out alive, they made the right decision not pushing. There is always another day to try.

[@alanpengo3335]

It is never a victory if you end up dying. Your family and loved ones won't claim a victory if you don't return. Saying its a victory even if you die is selfish and stubborn my friend. All lives matter 🙏 ♥️. One heart, One love, One blood, One God, One race HUMANITY ❤. The biggest victory is returning to your family and friends ❤️ 💙 🙏

[@Woods_Hiker]

Third time watching this. I read Herzog's book 30 years ago and even he lamented the endless snow on Annapurna

[@ivorybilled8983]

What is that huge mountain behind them at 10:42?

[@juannicolasmorenobustillo5299]

not sure but annapurna have various peaks

[@tomeggleston367]

It looks like the north side of Machapuchare to me (or ‘Fishtail Mountain’). You can see the ridge connecting its 2 peaks. It looks different from every angle but this is the view from the north - and would make sense as to where they were climbing. 👍🏼

[@tomeggleston367]

You see it again at 13:42 also…and various other flashes throughout the video

[@jugglingjassi]

Yes, that is Machhapuchhre. I'm spending a night at its base camp today. Magnificent mountain but not allowed to climb.

[@mohd.farhanpatel16]

This is amazing I always admire the people that live in these harsh environments with mother nature and what he has to offer it is a challenge when I give up my life for that why not certain benefits and certain things you will never know or half because all you got is what you see but it’s beautiful.

You have a different idea of living than I do. I've Climbed El Cap three times, the Troll Wall once, and redpointed French 8a. As Socrates said, The Unexamined Life is Not Worth Living. We are all going to die. What did you do in your brief time?

[@rosieposie9564]

@@brianvirgin2995 Well, climbing a mountain is a great personal achievement if that it what a person is into but there really are way more important and meaningful accomplishments to obtain in one's life. A person's life will not be 'unexamined' if they decide against climbing a high mountain.

[@paulmorrey4298]

Thanks

[@johnlee8780]

Porters and guides left out of the video as they climbed higher. The Porters carried up the tents, sleeping bags, house tent, chairs, tables, food, cookware, etc. The guys going light with small packs jackets acting macho. Porters had it hard for a few bucks per day.

[@LouieBeethoven]

It's a rich man's game - playing macho when they're really just a bunch of wienies who want to be carried to the top. Sherpas do all the work.

[@arnabbhattacharya6579]

Sensible thing to do. .....all you guys did well, enjoyed it there. Now give some quality time to your family.

[@guillermocanigralcamanez1406]

Da la sensación viendo el documental, que esta gente no sabe exactamente a donde iba.. eso de que “the mountain is not ready” no se.. llamadme loco, pero se trata de la cara sur del annapurna, que es probablemente junto con la cara rupal del nanga parbat o rutas como la magic o polish line del K2, de lo más jodido que hay de escalar en este planeta. Así que esa cara sur es muy difícil que este “ready” en algún momento, ya que hasta cuando hay ventanas de buen tiempo, lo normal, es que se lleve por delante a algún miembro de expedición. Desde luego, los que no están ready son ellos, no la montaña.
