    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.

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.

    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!

    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

    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. Cheers, amazing effort!

    Oh gosh, I also love Ryan's videos, but I hope he doesn't discuss the deaths unless they're personally relevant to him! 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! (No hate to Jochen Hemmleb and his team for that one, they were unprepared for the media circus)
