    Ni Nicholas, the blue jacket is a "North Face Himalayan Parka", which is what many climbers use as their primary down & outer layer at high altitudes (down suit only on summit day). I've used it also e.g. on Denali. it retails in UK for about GBP 485. Would recommend it.

    It's nowhere even close to being $18K LOL. The most expensive thing in this video is the La Sportiva Olympus Mons Boot. That's $990. Look it up. His down suit is $800. His down jacket is $500. Crampons $250. Ice Axe $150 add all the other things and it's easily under $10K. You don't buy everything at once. You slowly build your gear. It's a very expensive hobby/passion but in case you didn't know, the permit to climb Mount Everest is $11K LOL. And if he is going with guides, he probably paid 65-80k not including the cost of his gear. The equipment in this video is top of the line. I'm sure he went with a well known agency and dropped serious money.

I have no personal experience of Cilo Gear, but several of my friends are fans of Gregory packs and they look pretty solid. Ultimately, the right pack depends on the use and hence, you should also consider capacity as part of your evaluation. -Atte

    He's not answering any of the questions in the comments I guess he didn't make it. Oh well, R.I.P. climber guy.

    "as you can see, it's not a lot." Yeah because the Sherpas do all the real work for you. Climbing Everest is a joke nowadays. If you can pay for it, you're all set. Not much respect from my end that's for sure. Sherpas are the real climbers.

    Most Sherpas only lead on Everest. By the looks of it he's been in other mountaineering expeditions and knows his stuff, most rich people that only pay for Everest don't even know how to rappel

    @@sverre5756 well considering that he is paying for the sherpa to guide and help him summit, there is nothing wrong with him calling him "my sherpa". He could have also said, my employee.

    I am VERY curious as KOLLAPSAR is/was-- How MUCH does all this gear cost⁉️ (I would be EXTREMELY interested in seeing an “itemized list”--esp one that included the cost/price of KEY ITEMS that MUST be bought/procured at VERY specialized shops and retailers! Quick question⁉️-for expeditions like climbing My Everest..... The gear is CLEARLY highly soecialized for such an endeavor! I would think that “proper fit” of BOOTS-especially-is vitally important! Do climbers come to an area or country where this highly specialized equipment can be bought and procured? To be measured and weighed and fitted with gear-esp BOOTS (footwear)? Do YOU “reuse” some of this gear for other climbs and expeditions? I.e.-can you “reuse” it? Like-- the BOOTS-proper fit MUST be VERY. important! $$$ the down suit? $$$ ? Specialized mittens $$$ . Etc, etc! IF I “DECIDED” (which will NEVER HAPPEN) to climb Everest-and hired YOU as my “guide”-part of your expedition group- Would THIS equipment and gear be included in the FEE/COST that I would pay to you and your team to “teach me, lead me, guide me, feed me etc and hopefully SUMMIT???

    not shure about the stuff he bought but you can buy these shoes in many good sorted climbing retailers. Obviously you should break them in... and you might need a good fitting inlet... but the shoes are most certainly not tailored... and probably he is a passionate mountaineer.... for many of those the journey does not end on Everest but they rather seek new, even more difficult adventures where he for shure can reuse most of his gear.

    "See, this camera here? I'm gonna strap it to ..........my Sherpa. Then everybody can see how awesome I am while I cough and weeze and flail my arms around on the summit of Everest " So not only is this poor "Sherpa" (they are people you know, with names and shit) gonna have to drag his ass to the summit on a short rope, his high altitude slave is also gonna act as a human tripod while doing it. Why not just ride your Sherpa to the summit piggy-back? Throw a saddle on a strong one from the stable, and HIYO SHERPA - AWAY!!! I wonder if he uses his Sherpa as an "ottoman" down in base camp to rest his feet after it cooks him dinner, burps him, wipes his ass and sings sweetly as he falls asleep dreaming of cramponing over dead and dying climbers who couldn't afford their own Sherpa-yaks on his way to the summit. Jesus Christ, climbing Everest has always been a bit culturally insensitive, arrogant, and chauvinistic, but it seems to get more depraved as the years go by. How much of an individual accomplishment is it to summit Everest when you in effect ride to the summit on the backs of the Sherpa people? But seriously - I'm jealous. All I can afford are a couple Thai hookers to drag me from the bar up the stairs to my hotel room these days =(
