Congratulations guys. You are the epitome of ‘never give up’. Good on you climbers, good on you. ✨

[@resumesetc]

Fantastic video!

[@d-railg4302]

Great documentary. Really enjoyed seeing the different cultures. Way to stick with it and not let the difficulties kill your dream. Hats off to the Tibetan porters. Their ability amazes me.

[@5635randy]

Great documentary it's so cool to see the temples sad about the criminal elements. I have traveled the world and its so difficult to elude the criminals always challenging

[@michaelbradford4444]

With all the set backs y'all endured before the climb it's a wonder that you even attempted to summit with everything going against all of you! Determination is the word that comes to mind as I think about what it took to make it to the top and come down as a team without any mishaps!

WOW!!!!! EXCELLENT VIDEO/DOCUMENTARY. Those helper guys are freaking AWESOME wearing tenni shoes hiking up those mountains and they were smoking freaking unreal. You guys make my butt hole pucker and I would never do this but it's so fascinating watching what you guys do. You all definitely have some big ones.....if you know what I mean lol😮😮😮 Thanks 😊 for sharing.

[@Sumofabish]

Very cool. You guys definitely endured hardships but in the end it was all a part of your journey. Thanks for sharing.

[@peribe438]

Not a climber myself, I thought it was basic to climb loose rock/ice early morning before temperature goes up. But what do I know, not having 10 years experience.

[@Jane-Lewis]

good story teller,good film

[@TiffanyCarter-gs6io]

Brilliant amazing work well done all

[@blubb_blubb]

Awesome! Thank you very much for uploading. I really like your documentations and your style of telling the story. I went ice climbing in Shuangqiao gou myself a few years ago. Your videos about Siguniang and Yangmolong brought back the good vibes. I’ll head for Qinghai next year to do some high altitude trekking in the desert and maybe climb an easy mountain. China really got me. For mountaineering, China is still like a hidden gem. Limitless opportunities (despite the red tape of course). God I need a partner for that stuff haha.. Have a nice day!

[@timboelter5320]

Thank you very much. There is definitely a lifetime of exploration there.

[@drirene57]

Hilaree Nelson left her 2 kids without a mother. Her dream became their nightmare. I have the same attitude with male climbers with young children.

[@georgecarberry9222]

Once a person has children there is no way he or she should continue the pursuit of summiting the biggest & highest mountains of the world. A parent's life no longer belongs to them alone, after the children are born. It is the height of egotism, selfishness & arrogance to continue to climb once a climber becomes a spouse & a parent. It is cruel to subject your loved ones to the stress & anxiety they experience worrying about whether you will return from an expedition to climb some incredibly high & dangerous mountain.

[@relaxingnature2617]

wow -- thats impressive ..good job

[@Kid_Kootenay]

Ive never heard climbers talk so much about the dangers of climbing, have you considered needlepoint? or bingo? or maybe the mountain climbing on nintendo Wii ? lol

[@Mrwhomeyou]

bruh the 2011 approach as so cursed lol

[@mikeholt7881]

I was in the foothills in 2004 (my wife was born in Chengdu) and I was the first 'white' man many of these people had seen. Felt like an alien, lol!!

[@bix747]

GREAT Adventure is more Important then Climing 8000 Meters. The Complete Expierence is the most Wonderful thing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@timboelter5320]

I agree. Thank you

[@VeeVee1495]

Awesome shit !

[@georgecarberry9222]

Such a pointless & selfish way to validate your existence. Using another's lack of ability to acquire income in some other way is truly the height of narcissism, arrogance & possessing a massive ego to put the life of another at risk so you can do something as dangerous & pointless as climb K2 or pursue climbing any other extensively dangerous mountain!!! Then, not even compensate those who safeguard your life & make it possible for you to accomplish your goals. Shameful behaviour by extremely selfish ppl.

[@TheSmashingDoc1]

hes enjoing rockclimbing very much: faaaak too small faak nooo faaak aaaah

[@loribaker8339]

I don't know why youd climb when you have a daughter that only has you to depend on as a parent. Lots of parents have been lost on Everest. I hope you dont ever become a statistic climbing any mountain. Congratulations 👏 to you and your team!

This video begins with this guy being astounded that his money can't solve a problem. What a modern urbanized a-typical joke.

[@fyrenset]

My thoughts exactly.

[@ttvdizturb3d]

4:30 teaching your kid to ride bike on that busy road might not be your brightest idea though this was very well done overall, i just dont trust other idiot drivers around my kids!!

[@pamelachavis769]

More about buddism than mountain climbing

[@shawncalderon4950]

Only one life, and soon it will pass. Only what is done for Christ will last.

[@dawnhock4545]

After seeing the garbage you climbers leave behind I don’t blame anyone for NOT letting you people near their mountains!

[@timboelter5320]

Not all climbers leave behind garbage. You will notice that we have bags of garbage on our backs on the way out. I understand the images from Everest are disturbing, but for the most part, most climbers leave no trace, and we believe in this.

[@Upgraydez]

I respect other ppls culture's, but it's sorta ridiculous that they don't want u climbing there because it will bring them bad luck. It's gotta be beyond frustrating to have to deal with that. Many other reasons I can understand more, than just luck.

[@okjhbk74]

Too much ego, first acent and all.

[@technomickdocumentalist2495]

No, that’s not straight thinking, that’s like saying the 10th or 100th person to climb a mountain did better than the 1st who did it. I totally understand ego, and how it works, and though mountaineering doc’s interest me, I wouldn’t do it, certainly not the extreme stuff like Everest or K2 etc, I don’t think that that because an individual wants to be the first to climb automatically means they are egotistical, it’s very individual, and not everyone climbs for the same reason.
