@@asdfghjklyzxcvbnm ok, but then Europeans, and anyone who lived near mountains, have been climbing for centuries too. Modern climbing, though, was definitely birthed in the West, in 18th-19th century Europe. No where else did people purposefully set out to climb mountain peaks for sport and want to risk their lives on purpose to attain that (bizarre, in a sense) goal. It required setting up expeditions, i.e. planning routes/supplies, training, creating/using specialized equipment and climbing styles/techniques, etc. And once that peak was "conquered", testing yourself against the next one, and so on. That's the modern sport of mountain climbing/alpinism, and it shouldn't bother you that it does have a history and that that history was pioneered in the West. Today many people climb, not only Westerners, and that's great.

Beautiful production and I love the sherpa at the end asking "and You" - me only in my dreams

[@ben-uy1ud]

HE NEVER SAID - AND YOU!! All he said was a simple - THANK YOU!!! That's his way of pronouncing, the comment section seemed to have gone retarded. Just look how he nods his head while saying thank you!

[@smartayzo695]

RIP Hilaree. 🙏🏻 Your achievements made you a trailblazer and an inspiration to many. My deepest condolences to your partner Jim, to your children, to your family & friends. May the mountains be with you wherever you are. 💝

[@ficklemedia8733]

Another really inspiring film. I especially liked What Hillary said about hiding from risk not being the right approach to life. Thanks again North Face. Your films are sublime ❤️

[@Sleepy_Joe_]

makes sense only if you survive

[@ficklemedia8733]

Donald well if you dont survive then a whole lot of other things will be making sense instead 😉

[@evilelf6188]

Also the right approach to death

[@davidhamilton1446]

Where do you find value in life?

[@igk916]

Love the tribute to the sherpas at the end, showing their names and faces, made me so happy to see you guys include that amazing video and an even more amazing accomplishment!

[@justanotherdude491]

[@sauraa]

Praying for you Hilary. Hoping for some miracle 🙏

[@simonmoses4023]

The sherpas are just amazing! They make every single trip I have ever done.

[@Cougar1212]

19:08 - Awesome view of The Big E. Never see it from that angle with so much snow on it. Bootiful.

[@kristennoelle9447]

I really hope Chin is or at least contemplating a full length doc on Hilaree.. he's the one to do it true justice & she deserves an indepth life doc! Amazing woman 🙏💜

[@Txaparmendiak]

The most incredible and best filmed adventure I have ever seen

[@tapmijyo]

Agree

[@doptimist]

Give Meru a go if you havent.

[@thepessimisticoptimist9375]

I've watched this before but it means more now. Rip 🙏 I told my gf about this and she said she's selfish. And I agree you have to be to be this dedicated to your craft. It's just incredibly hard to not be frustrated she has little kids. Sad either way.

[@aquietplace5555]

Thanks for giving the Sherpas who worked on this the chance to say their names. Very important

[@protenuator]

Lost track of how many times I've watched this. Every time it pops up it is as good as the first time. Massive respect to the shredders. We've seen so many bold adventures with this incredible couple. Condolences, Jim and family. Rip in peace, Hilaree.

[@raphaelwellig5066]

Hello Hilaree and Jim Hello to the whole team and the Sherpas I congratulate you on the ascent and the first skiing of the Lothose. Great! Thank you for the wonderful film. There are many wonderful memories. I wish you good tours! With alpine greetings Raphael Wellig

[@TheNorthFace]

Hey Raphael, such kind words! We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed the video! Thanks

[@stuartseldon1737]

I've watched this film a few times, but it takes on a whole new significance now.

[@nickkrause7606]

This is perfection. Music, Pictures, Storyline and People - this film has it all. You know all this when it gives you that feeling of "Damn, I need to get outdoors NOW!". Really great work from the Sherpas, Cameracrew, Editors and Athletes - well done to all of you.

[@lindsayvanwynsberghe7693]

This was the most beautiful video - I could watch it 10x over

[@funkybartender2297]

Lindsay Van Wynsberghe hey Lindsay I wanna take you for hike to Tatra Moutains.

[@adarshponsonby4303]

[@younghokimseoul]

respect the camera guys who captured these moments! must have been way harder than just climbing

[@nathanwelden4547]

Amazing footage, and accomplishment. I spent 17 days trekking in the region, and this film captures the beauty of Solo Khumbu. Here's to the camera crew and sherpas for there hard work.

[@TheNorthFace]

Thanks for the lovely words, Nathan 👌

[@fangyuan2015]

[@einfachDSA]

Rest in peace Hilaree. It is really disheartning to know that she is no more. Amazing documentary. I am feeling sad for Jim.

[@minimalinmn2159]

I don't know how many times I've seen this now, but it still makes me cry every time.

[@jiwan88]

This is some high quality cinematography . My utmost love to the mountains.

[@peterhyperman]

This is the most badass thing I've seen, can't even grasp the amount of strength, knowledge and determination needed to pull this off. Congratulations for all the things lining up and getting it done.
