Alan, again, thank you so very much for your updates and the story at the end. I also want to thank you for introducing us to Ryan Mitchell. I have been following him and enjoying his journey also. God bless you and your family and friends. God be with everyone climbing.

Seems like anytime u bring competition into a climbing scenario, it gets deadly fast. Rooting for Ryan Mitchell ❤🎉

I also like the up dates and I’m also following Ryan and rooting for him Small world 🇨🇦

"Short, simple steps." I like that mantra.

Thanks for the update, wishing for luck and safe climbs to all.

Wow, that last bit of 'story-telling' was riveting. I like when you described the sounds of taking breaths, and the crampons hitting the snow, at the same time. Also walking with the crampons where it's only rock, I can't imagine. Alan, I just saw Ryan's videos of him climbing the Lhotse face, and the next one of him coming down the icefall- extraordinary footage!! What's it like for you to see that?

Thanks. Watching Ryan makes me proud of him knowing how hard he’s worked to get to this point. When we first spoke in December 2022, he had no climbing experience. He’s earned the right to climb Everest.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom and explaining so well x

I really enjoyed your update. It's always sad to hear people losing their lives on Everest.

Anxiously awaiting for an Update from Ryan. Pulling for him to have a successful summit and a safe return. Thanks for the update. 🙏

I believe they are targeting Thursday May 23 at dawn to summit. They will move from C3 to the South Col on the 21, spend that night there and leave for the summit the night of the 22nd. he winds have calmed so that's not a big worry but there will be a lot of people on the route.

Any news so far from Ryan? Is there any way to follow his climb?

I enjoy these updates and your description of what climbers are experiencing. Since the actual Hillary Step was lost in the earthquake .. is there still a recognizable rock feature there? When I’ve looked at pictures (with my untrained eyes) of where it used to be, I see nothing but a flat snow-covered rock face.

So pleased you enjoyed it. Thanks.

Outstanding. Thank you for such detailed reporting

Another great show, Alan. For the part about the southeast ridge, I was following on your website. That website is absolutely fantastic, the detail that you go into and all the photos that you show are just outstanding. I've been to your website before, but I've never looked around in so closely. The crazy thing is, that sometimes I've been looking for detailed photos like that using Google image search, and I can never find anything. Anyway, thanks again, Alan, for a great show!

Love the updates thankyou Alan! Patiently waiting Ryan's next update. Your descriptions at the end are a firm favorite

Thank you Allan for sharing your journey. It’s very special

It's always nice to see you and hear your super reports and explanations Alan. And also your great interviews, where the questioner has so much experience to ask the right questions. Have recently recommended your person and your channel quite often somewhere else where are big discussions about mountain sports, especially in the Himalaya and in Nepal. Where many like to express their biases and prejudices. Which would also like to scandalize a lot from some media and KZreadrs in order to receive more attention on the one hand and, on the other hand, want to present themselves as the supposedly only really good people or media. For this purpose, certain stories from mountain sports in the Himalayas are reported on onesided and distorted. And the bad thing is that it is not checked and always told. For example, the story of the unfortunately too poorly equipped height worker on the K2, which had been warned by his colleagues several times. This is now all the way that is reported about these European climber and that she alone is to blame. We know about your detailed and differentiated reports and the very good interview with the class climber, which shortly before the end of the whole series of eight thousands, that their team had taken care of the victim for hours, which unfortunately could no be saved. And that luckily there is also help for the victim's relatives. The media and KZreadrs could also show the bank account numbers for aid for the family of the victim and other help options, but since these help is often also organized by mountain sports enthusiasts from the West, this does not fit into the narrative that is often used and consumed these days. I found the explanations and reactions of the great woman and mountaineer in your interview very understandable. Thanks also for the humanity you have shown again and again. You keep making the world a better world. Especially since you are rightly respected and can achieve so many. I am full of joy to be able to experience how much your important analyzes and reports can reach out to so much other viewers and so many experts also. I wish you all the best for the future! PS: I have also subscribed to some channels from Sherpas. It's very interesting what they show and they are always happy to receive good wishes. 😊

Thank you Sir for the updates!

Thanks Alan.

Thank you Alan for your descriptive informative narration on the final assault of mt. Everest, you Really put me vicariously on the summit. Love from Kathmandu.

Alan, thank you!! I've been waiting for your south ridge experience story. I wish you had a video of your Everest climb like you did when you climbed K2. You're a pro, Alan❤

Appreciate this. Thanks

First Alan, I want to thank you for an excellent update. My personal opinion is that the Nepalese government should introduce a one client one Sherpa rule. One to one climbing ratio. Anyone who is not capable of climbing with only one Sherpa, carries a spare bottle of oxygen (one needed not three) should not even be in the mountain. That's what Anatoli Boukreev said in 1996 season. He is a guide, not a babysitter. I know that for the Sherpa people, it means that they work and that their families live from it, but the waste they create and rush threatens both the mountain and the people.

Whats the story? With, Nims purja! They caught him, Supposedly, " no permit "🤔, on Everest! You hear about this, Alan?

Rooting for our Kenyan climber, Cheruiyot who went missing on 22nd May. He was attempting the summit without supplemental oxygen

Alan, I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate your blog and the climbing updates you share with all of us! I agree that it would be awesome to see more videos of your climbs. After reading your blog and watching your youtubes, not only am I a big fan of yours but of mountain climbing in general, especially Everest. You are truly an inspiration and joy. God bless you.

BTW, I'm cheering for all the climbers and wish them well, but my favorite team is Dan with Summit. I understand they are leaving for Camp 3 today. Safe climb, my friends!

I suppose hoping for no deaths was hoping for a miracle. Prayers for no more accidents, no more teams pushing the bad weather.
