The bodies have been there for years, if you plan to summit Everest you do your research and know what to expect unfortunately the bodies are usually unrecoverable because of the harsh conditions but are also very well preserved by the cold, some are famous by this point and are used as landmarks and have names used by climbers.

@@GlimpsofDay It depends how someone calculates risk. If it's collectively accepted risk then nobody is thinking about the negatives, for example driving a truck/car, it is risky and everyone knows that there's a chance of dying, considering today's traffic and the mindset of the drivers it's probably even worse. Now doing something for recreation and it is an extreme sport like glacier climbing, then it starts to go towards more risky, not everyone is doing that. As long as nothing happens and more often is done (it get's into routine thing) the feeling of it being more safe is growing, if it's good or bad..... good question.

Amazing how smooth the sherpas make the climb. Without their help there would be no lines, probably just a few pro climbers per year, most of whom would die.

One of the strengths of your Everest videos was that you gave us so much footage "outside" of yourself. You mapped Everest from the ground. I loved seeing the smaller mountains you trained on, and the views from camp one and two - which were other-worldly and extremely beautiful. The simple GoPro view of the icefall outdid almost any of the views I have seen.
It's comforting knowing that there is a 100% chance that I will never have to overcome these challenges... Love the videos though. Super interesting!
You should be paying Manuel a hefty cut of these videos profit. 100% serious. You were comically unprepared and he saved your life and was willing to risk his to make sure yours made it down. Any profit you made from then on is fully due to him, and he probably didn’t make much more than a regular day pay off it.

@maurartsy2916 OP is completely right but what are you basing that on? Even if you think all commercial climbers are evil and all foreign operators are exploitative, that's deeply disrespectful to the thousands of guides and porters who climb Everest multiple times a year. Sherpa communities wrestled with whether climbing mountains was disrespectful back in 1953 and decided it wasn't. Shouldn't we listen to them?

Thats how it is in whitewater kayaking. Boats get too close and they can screw you. Especially big rafts. Those kill
And that is why so many people die on Everest,People with little experience putting other people at risk..
Throw a bit of **small** gauge braided steel wire (a couple feet- it only weighs an oz or 2) in your pack, OR rap it around the ice axe handle or trekking pole and duct tape over it. I've had even well fitted crampons pop off and in a critical position that bit of wire can help secure the crampon.
Yes, they were definitely thinking ‘who brought this kid’ aha - very lucky my friend. Another time and I’m certain things may have not gone as smooth. Being a ‘noob’ in these environments is the prime reason for the number of deaths.
Sorry, but climbing Everest should be outlawed. The mountain is littered with dead bodies and trash piles. Even at the peak, trash everywhere. Truly sad what tourism has done that beautiful place.

It may be missleading coz it looks like there are a lot of peoples summiting everest everyday. Meanwhile Its few hundreds yearly, which about 50% made it to the top. Only few days per year are okay to summit this mountain (they say), so most of these hundreds peoples aim for these days. All of them are just compressed in very narrow weather window.
God, these stories are just scary! You were very lucky to have some awesome guides with you. And the gear issue is also pretty scary, but thank goodness nothing bad happened with that and you were able to push through!

Thanks for frank self assessment regarding your skill level issues as you trained and climbed. I’m completely new to this as I did my first alpine climb on mount baker two weeks ago. That is like a kindergarten effort compared to what you do but I learned a lot from that short experience. Even though I’m a triathlete and ultra endurance bike racer, I encountered issues with my heavy pack and walking in deep snow. That was a new level of effort that my body hadn’t seen before. I will modify my training approach to prepare for my next climb.
Watched the all of the almost 5 hour video, and first of all, thank you for sharing with us! One remark i would make, on the summit descent, your sherpa was extremely unsafe by unclipping you from the line leaving you without safety for a few seconds while passing others that were climbing. Otherwise incredible video. Cant wait to watch you on other adventures!
I wish you had more vids like your documentation of Everest, it was amazing. The voiceover, the images, the mix of talking in the moment. Just awesome
Awesome job, man. We all make mistakes, but we learn from them. A few years back I almost slid off Baker because I put my crampons on the wrong feet and one popped off. Last year I picked up bad AS on Illinza because I thought I was too tough for diamox (stupid for a 47 year old). Lessons learned
The Sherpas are worth every dollar.... soo much knowledge and experience keeping climbers safe 👏

Dude, you are the man!!!! An old soul. I was hoping you would mention the weird dude who tried to pass you. You are humble. I think a huge factor in death on Everest (armchair QB here) is ego, or “I am better than these guys so I can push on when they are turning back” kinda attitude. That and summit fever…. only 500 meters …. I can see the summit…. then oh shit that 500 meters just burned too much oXygen …. dead…. I saw when you were coming down you unclip many times to keep up with your guide. However, I think I would rather take that risk as a strong climber as you had become by that point than the alternative…. getting stuck behind other climbers as the weather turns nasty and your oxygen slowly disappears…. I think your guide knew your ability and pushed down fast knowing you could keep up.. but knowing that () I am assuming) the English dude and his guide were doing the exact same thing…. I saw others climbing up high on the left side of the trail to get past poo butt slow shouldn’t probably be on the mountain folks. I would rather jam down and take some risk than get stuck. I mean how frustrating it would be knowing you have plenty of power and can easily make it down out of the death zone but get stuck and die. But hopefully next time you will consider the risk you took and decide instead of just gung ho ing it !!!! Love you man…. You have a great attitude and are not at all what I thought at first…. a tourist with a lack of skill and experience…. no you proved you are capable, My hats off to you my boy! Im old now but I came up through adolescence in Colorado. We used to have to use a “prescott”. I think it was called to keep your self from going backwards on a fixed rope. I was a knot you had to slide up and tighten. I think …. I remember for sure using it when repelling so right yourself if you were hanging upside down.. anyway…. I had my day on 14ers. but never anything like the things you are doing.

Love your videos and honesty mate. What was the thing sliding down the mountain at the 14 second mark, was that someone's shoe? In the other video of yours when that happened I'm pretty sure someone said the person was in danger of "frostbite" ? Can you explain what that was and why it was dangerous for that person it happened to? Also I think you definitely should do more videos about the deaths on Everest and the other bodies you may have seen or the difficult or even ruthless decisions climbers must be prepared to take, would help truly show the reality of how hard Everest is.

Reading Ed Viesturs' heartwrenching description in his K2 book of finding Scott Fischer's body really hammered home for me that while it's so important to discuss the tragedies of mountaineering, it's best done by those who were there or who loved the dead. Using the dead of Everest as morbid entertainment is what got us the awful tabloid cover of Mallory's body!

For the low low cost of 200k, you'll have no problem doing it with the sherpas doing the majority of the hard work.
For the clipping…is there a reason they don’t use two clips so you’re always connected even when going around someone? Enjoyed your summit videos and like the “background” perspective given in this video. Thanks and well done!!!
You’re a pretty cool dude. I have really enjoyed following your journey to the top.
I would like to hear you speak on how you overcome fear and doubtful thoughts. When you show that very narrow path with massive drop off on both sides, my thought is that I can't do this. And I know it's just a mental fear, rather than a physical inability. But I also know that your thoughts can cause a person to fail.
Admirable how you trudged through some of these daunting challenges to make one of the best documented climbs ever made of Mt. Everest. In documenting this experience you have not only shared what Mt. Everest climb looks and feels like, but have also inspired so many along the way. *Be strong and courageous, for HE goes with you.*

And shown too what a risk you take and how important it's to prepare but that it's still very dangerous.

Yes, high altitude mountaineering is a high-risk sport, and regardless of the best of preparation it can get dangerous because of perilous weather conditions that can turn on a whim. Safety first always!
I'm curious what kind of things you learned from Alan Arnette. The podcast you did with him was interesting. I'm also curious if you read some of the books (like Into Thin Air) or watched any of the videos (like David Breashears or David Snow)?
I am only 17 at the moment, but this is my dream. Everest or K2, or even both, I will conquer them, I will summit them, I will be back to this message in a few years. Absolute elite motivation this video!
You've more than earned my subscription.
This will never not be stupid
Beast 😮 you are!!....whats next at your age....SPACE🚀

You’re an inspiration my friend.

“hehe im so toxic 😂😊” you’re just delusional bro
Very cool insights Ryan..cheers
great video's keep up the good work!
This is the kind of white I wanna be. How do you get the money to afford all of this gear and these planes and guides and expeditions?
Wow. Amazing how dangerous stuff like that is, and you were brave enough to do it. The sherpas must have almost died literally thousands of times, and yet they keep gping back up. They're crazy

Dumb is more like it..Risking your life for nothing ... Everest has become a Cruise ship shore excursion... everyone and their grandma have done it...

Brave? It was reckless and self-centred to do such a climb with such little experience
Great series of videos, keep up good content🎉
I went to Peru and wanted to die just walking around the streets of Cusco (and that was after doing the Sacred Valley to properly acclimate) so hearing you talk about what you went through on Chimborazo truly made me want to vomit 😅 Kudos to you on this amazing feat! 👏🏼
